L’Equipe: “The jour de gloire” of a rouleur is unclear
Sports newspaper L’Equipe mainly focuses on the departure of Jorge Sampaoli from Olympique Marseille and his possible successor, Igor Theodor. But Yves Lambert will also have a standout. L’Equipe speaks of a “huge surprise”.
He seemed to “make sure all expectations were about yesterday’s trash”. Wut van Aert’s face actually said enough when Lambert crossed the finish line. Nor did he expect his compatriot to keep him yellow. The fact that the road in Copenhagen had dried up quickly after the favorites passed helped Lambert to his first victory of the Tour. This was is “jour de gloire” for “rouleur” is unclear. Winning Paris-Roubaix is his dream, but on the tour he had the best day of his career at the moment.

In the rain and in front of thousands of Danes, he was the fastest test-guns ever. He beat the best riders in the world and so deserves all the credit. It’s been 2019 since That he rode the Tour – speaks volumes for a notable comeback. Lambert was favored in selection over Julian Alaphilippe among others and he really showed that this was a good decision by the team.”
Le Figaro: “He had to pinch himself”
Le Figaro wrote: “Yves Lambert caused quite a commotion when he crossed the finish line.” “He’d rather be five seconds faster than Wut van Aert, who would have expected that? It was agreed that the road surface was already a little drier, but the sixty riders after Lambert were provided with better conditions. No one came close to his time. Lambert, a son of A farmer who also had a black belt in judo, until he pinched himself. His head was about to explode.”
