It's the first (and often best) GT of the season!

Gaudu managed to fall and take Bardet down with him. 🇫🇷 🍷 🇫🇷 🍷 🇫🇷

Reminder.

This year, Gaudu fell successively:

on the Tour of Oman (nothing serious) 11 or 12 Feb;
while training 🐈 (which forced him to cancel the small French mountain races he should have ridden (Var, Alpes-Maritimes 21-23 Feb) and then forbid him to replace them with the following similar small French races (Drôme, Ardèche 1-2 Mar));
twice on Strade Bianche (abandon) 8 Mar;
3 days later, on the 1^st^ stage of Tirreno–Adriatico (abandon and hand surgery); 11 Mar : all those falls happened within 1 month!
he finally restarted 7 or 8 weeks later on the Tour of Romandie mostly as a tourist, only race without a fall;
now he's fallen again on his next race, the Tour of Italy (hand injury for the umpteenth time, stitches (?), consequences unknown so far) 16 May.
