Bruno Armirail (Groupama-FDJ) is the surprise leader of the Giro d'Italia. Since Saturday, he has been wearing the pink leader's jersey.

The last Frenchman to have worn this outfit was called Laurent Jalabert in... 1999. He remains a teammate of Thibaut Pinot and that the conservation of his beautiful pink paletot is not the new objective of his training. He admitted that he was still under contract with Groupama- FDJ until 2024, but that a clause in his contract allowed him to leave.
