Froome for fifth title: Tour de France
kicks off in Brussels
By Ryan Guebert
TV Media
T
he 2019 UCI World Tour is set to fea-
ture the biggest sporting event in the
world with the 106th edition of the Tour
de France. The 21-stage race takes place
over 23 days starting in Brussels, Belgium,
and ending on the Champs-Élysées in
Paris, France. Catch the first stage of the
Tour de France on Saturday, July 6, with
coverage on NBC.
The first stage of the 2019 Tour de
France spans 192 kilometers through a
flat course in Brussels. It is the second
time in Tour history that the race will start
4 | Screentime
in Brussels, the last being the 1958 Tour,
which saw Charly Gaul win his first and
only yellow jersey. Brussels was chosen
for this year’s starting location in honor
of Belgian cyclist Eddy Merckx’s first Tour
de France win 50 years ago. Following
his 1969 win, Merckx went on to win the
Tour four times in a row, and once more in
1974, making him one of only four riders
to have won the Tour five times.
Four-time Tour winner Chris Froome
enters this year’s race as the bookmak-
ers’ favorite, and he hopes to become the
fifth rider to set that record. Following his
third-place finish last year, Froome is not
defending the Tour title for the first time
June 26, 2019 | East Oregonian and Hermiston Herald
in three years. His only win in 2018 came
at the Giro d’Italia — the first-ever pink
jersey of his career.
The Giro d’Italia is known for its hilly
and mountainous stages with steep climbs
through the Alps. Froome’s win at the Giro
d’Italia came just over a month before the
start of the Tour, and was a factor in his
third-place finish, which is why he chose to
forgo this year’s Giro and focus on becom-
ing the fifth rider to win five Tours.
Find out who will take the early lead in
this year’s Tour de France as riders pedal
their way through Brussels for the “Grand
Départ.” Tune in Saturday, July 6, for
Stage 1 coverage on NBC.
