In Kinsale (Ireland)
By crossing the finish line in front of Kinsale at 8h02, Benoît Tuduri (Capso En Cavale) has just created the sensation of this start to Solitaire. Like last year with Davy Beaudart, it is indeed a rookie who wins the first stage of this 54th edition of the queen of races.
Having opted for a northern route at the passage of Scilly, the 29-year-old young man training in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie has just struck a blow in the big leagues. His pursuers for the podium were the Irishman Tom Dolan (Smurfit Kappa-Kingspan), who arrived 16 minutes later, and Julie Simon (Douze YCLB), who crossed the line 22 minutes behind the winner.
