29 June 2024 at 17:39 Impressive Abrahamsen in historic climbing jersey Jonas Abrahamsen made a big impression on the opening stage of the Tour de France and secured the climbing jersey. No Norwegian has led the climbing competition in the Tour de France before, but Thor Hushovd was allowed to borrow the polka dot jersey in 2011, but then his teammate Philippe Gilbert led. – It was more than we could have dreamed of on day one, states news’s cycling commentator Ole Kristian Stoltenberg. The Uno-X rider was in violation for a long time on the 206 kilometer stage from Florence to Rimini in Italy, but dropped out around 40 kilometers before the finish line. A few kilometers later, no one could threaten the climbing points of the 28-year-old, who now has 13 points, two more than French Valentin Madouas. – We said it a little aggressively in the morning that it was one of the main goals, and then we managed to pull it off. The way Jonas takes new steps and lifts himself up for every bike race he rides is absolutely wild, says general manager of Uno-X, Thor Hushovd, to TV 2. – The climbing jersey in the Tour de France is huge, so it’s great fun. I weighed 60 kilos four or five years ago, but still managed to get the climbing jersey after gaining 20 kilos. It’s also fun, says Abrahamsen himself to the channel. It was an intense battle for victory, but teammates Romain Bardet and Frank Van Der Broek held off against a chasing main field. Bardet was first across the finish line and will therefore ride in the yellow jersey on Sunday.
