Tour de France: Chavanel earns Zwift Rider of the Day

Sylvain Chavanel (Direct Énergie) might not have won the second stage of the Tour de France, but he's the second Zwift Rider of the Day for a ride that characterised his 18-year career thus far. Finding himself all alone out front 145km from the line, the Frenchman just kept going with his eyes on a near-impossible prize - a solo breakaway victory on a pan-flat sprinter's stage.
