00:00Nice welcomes the Tour de France for the 39th time as this year's race draws to a close,
00:12but the city has also hosted the Grand Depart on two occasions.
00:17Firstly in 1981 with a prologue and Bernard Hinault was a man on a mission.
00:22Winner of the Tour in 78 and 79 but forced to abandon in 1980, the reigning world champion
00:28was determined to trade his rainbow bands for the familiar yellow jersey and he did
00:32just that, winning the prologue en route to his third Tour triumph.
00:37The Tour got another warm welcome in 2020 at the start of the 107th edition, the riders
00:43preparing for three laps of a circuit around the city with Egan Bernal lining up as the
00:47defending champion.
00:54Despite the incredible scenery, it was a chaotic day with slippery conditions leading
00:59to several crashes before a bunch sprints.
01:17A fourth Tour stage win for Kristoff, only the second Norwegian after Thor Hushoft to
01:22wear the yellow jersey.
