If anyone had any doubt that Wat van Art from the Jumbo Wisma team came to the Tour de France this year to dismantle it from the start - today (Tuesday) he got the absolute answer.
Yes.
The young and talented Belgian left dust for the entire opening ten and crossed alone - waving his hands like a bird - the finish line in Calais.
Today began the fourth section in historic Dunkirk with a minute of silence for the victims of the terrorist attack in Copenhagen where the column opens this year.

11.5 km to finish, Van Art opened passes and after 2 ascents he showed Pluto his back and after 171.5 km and 4 hours he won his first section in the column, after twice finishing second.
Van Art will also keep the yellow shirt tomorrow with a gap of 25 seconds from Eve to the specifications from the Quick Step group.
Guy Niv finished inside the Time Cut, 25 minutes after the winner.
