The tenth stage of the 2023 Tour de France has left a great taste in the mouth with the victory of the Spanish Pello Bilbao. The Biscayne has curdled a great day with which he gets his first victory in the gala round. To this we must add the two achieved in the Giro d’Italia in 2019, so he only has to win in the Tour of Spain.
For this reason, the one from Ineos ends the drought that Spanish cycling was going through. were already 1,816 days since the last victory of a national runner in the French round. It was on July 21, 2018 when Omar Fraile crossed the finish line in first place at the Mende airfield. Five years later and a total of 100 have had to happen since then for one of ours to finish in first position. “He was in very good shape and in the end he succeeded, I’m happy for him”, Friar declared at the end.
In total, thanks to Bilbao, they are 130 times which Spain has celebrated the victory of a Hispanic runner in Gallic territory. The one who has reached the finish line the most times in a stage in first place has been Miguel Indurain since they have been twelve times those who have won a day of the Tour. They follow you in this ranking Ocana with 9, Bahamontes with 7 and Julio Jimenez with 5.
