NBC is posting "extended highlights" on YouTube for each of the stages.
The first day is a short time trial (about 13 km).
The winner averaged over 32 mph, in a light rain! With many sharp corners on the course!
The unexpected winner, Yves Lampaert! (Belgian)
He also gets to wear the first Yellow Jersey!
Two years ago, he was in a very bad crash in a race and was put in a coma as part of his recovery.
Incredible recover to even participate in the Tour.
But to win the first stage is amazing.
Pogacar (Slovenian) has won the last two years.
Ganna (Italy) is the World Champion for time trials.
Van Aert (Belgium) and Van Derpoel (Netherlands) are relatively young stars who are top riders and have many wins under their belt already.
Pogacar is still under 23!
