Bowing to the Devil TdF24-115
The ever-popular Didi Stenft (the Devil) was along the side of the road to cheer on each group of the race as they rode pass. I'm not sure why he had a small chalkboard with 31 written on it. I can only assume it was for how many Tours he has cheered with his presence. It seemed that Victor Campenaerts (Lotto-Dstny) bowed his head as he went by. The trio of escapees was still being led by the former World Champion Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos-Grenadiers) followed by the French Tour neophyte Matteo Vercher (TotalEnergies) and of course Campenaerts. Each man was looking for the stage win, as were there teams. Only Vercher's TotalEnergies had managed to have a team member win a stage.
