Thibaut Pinot assures that he will be on the roadside during this Tour de France 2024, to perpetuate this new tradition of “Virage Pinot”.
All eyes were on him. All the cries had only one name in their mouths. A native of the country, Thibaut Pinot was the attraction of this 20th stage of the Tour de France 2023 of 133 kilometers between Belfort and Le Markstein Fellering. A bend even bears his name.
Acclaimed by the public who were just waiting for him, Thibaut Pinot returned the love that the latter returned to him. Present in the breakaway of the day, the Franc-Comtois made the trunk about thirty kilometers from the finish. To afford a last last stand, before retiring at the end of the season. Him and his audience.

Pinot back on the Tour
If he believed in victory on his land, the 33-year-old climber finally cracked about fifteen kilometers from the finish, taken over by the inexhaustible duo Vingegaard-Pogacar. The Frenchman still finished seventh in “his” stage.
On social networks, the climber made a promise after the inauguration of this “Virage Pinot”: to come back next year. This time, as a “simple” spectator. To cheer on his former teammates.
