Luke Rowe was left less than impressed with some of the tactical moves during wet conditions . All sprints like that, with a headwind, are always a lottery,” said the former world champion.Ireland’s Sam Bennett of the Deceuninck team, who was fourth, said the truce was the correct decision.“It was a dangerous day with the road so slippery,” he said.“I was fine on the climb, the problem was that we went slow and neutralised the descent. The veteran German signalled for a temporary halt to racing tactics with a neutralised second descent off the main climb up Cote de Rimiez to get the riders safely around the hairpins and on towards the finish.Ineos Grenadiers’ Rowe, however, was left less than impressed by the behaviour of Kazakh team Astana, who themselves saw leader Miguel Angel Lopez skid off into a road sign.“We had a couple of touchdowns, but in general we came through,” Rowe said.“We have got this riders organisation, or group, and there are a couple of guys from each team in there and we spoke about it last night with how we would approach the Tour de France in general and look after each other and do the right thing when needed.“Whilst you want to race and put on the best show, you could see how many crashes there were and that was with the three descents at a very careful speed.“I have to say ‘chapeau’ (hats off) to the whole peloton, minus Astana to hit it down one climb, and as a result, their leader was left on his back.“They made themselves look pretty stupid, but apart from them, chapeau to the whole peloton.”The weather had cleared by the time the peloton approached the Promenade Des Anglais for the second time, but there was another mass collision just under three kilometres from the finish, which saw pre-race favourite Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) take a heavy fall.As the sprinters were all being lined up, it looked anybody’s race and Kristoff came through to take the line ahead of Pedersen for Trek-Segafredo with Dutchman Cees Bol taking third place.Kristoff said: “I always dreamt about wearing the yellow jersey and it’s a dream come true. Luke Rowe (Ineos Grenadiers) took a swipe at Astana after they attacked in dangerous conditions on the opening stage of the Tour de France in Nice.

Ineos rider Luke Rowe says the decision to call a truce on the rain-lashed and treacherous The stage, which started and ended on Nice’s Promenade des Anglais, was won by Norway’s Alexander Kristoff.However, it was marred by so many crashes that it became a lottery before agreement was reached to slow the pace to avoid further damage.“Whilst you want to race and put on the best show, you could see how many crashes there were and that was with the three descents at a very careful speed,” said Rowe, who was thrown off last year’s Tour for a punch.In the absence of previous winners Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas, 30-year-old Rowe from Cardiff might not be the key rider at Ineos.However, he is an influential voice even if rivals may not want to hear him.Rowe claimed Colombian rider Miguel Angel Lopez and his Astana team had not co-operated with the truce.“As a result their leader was left on his back. Others were able to get into the peloton.“But I think it was a good decision to do everything to be safe even if when you have made an effort, you want the race to continue.” With Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas left out, the 30-year-old Rowe will start his sixth Tour lining up behind defending champion Egan Bernal of Colombia and the Ecuadorian Richard Carapaz. Entouré de ses équipiers, Thibaut Pinot franchit la ligne avec l'épaule droite touchée.Frenchman Pinot, meanwhile, suffered no major injuries other than bruising to his knee and right shoulder as well as road rash.With the last collision having come inside the final three kilometres, the Frenchman did not lose any time in the general classification.“It was a difficult day, certainly one of the worst of my career, a bit like it was for the whole peloton,” he said.“It was clearly as if we were riding on ice.
