A cyclist wearing a bright green and blue Alpecin-Deceuninck jersey leads a compact peloton up a narrow asphalt road flanked by vineyards. Spectators in casual attire and face masks line the roadside, some waving flags, as riders in light-blue AG2R Citroën kits and others maintain close formation behind the front-runner. The scene captures high-intensity effort, with visible strain on the lead rider’s face and aggressive aerodynamic positioning.
