15 riders we enjoyed in the Tour 2021… besides the obvious

6. Franck Bonnamour – chosen by Vasco Serrano

Franck Bonnamour would hardly have dreamed, at the start of his first Tour, of a performance at the level he presented, not to mention the podium finish in Paris to receive the supercombátif award, after being elected by popular acclaim. And it must be said that the prize could not have been better delivered. The Frenchman from B&B Hotels was escaped from the first to the last day and although he was never really close to victory, his displays serve as inspiration for any cyclist who will come to the Tour in the future with the aim of showing himself on the run and obtaining good results, like the two top 5 and two top 10 achieved by Bonnamour. Riders like him provide just the king of spectacle that enriches the Grand Tours and sets them above all other races.
