What a difference a year makes. We are in the Middle East and in March last year Charles Leclerc emerges triumphant winning that first Grand Prix in Bahrain leaving both Red Bull aces Verstappen and Perez in the dust retiring from the race.
The last time the Tour de France did not finish in Paris dates back almost 120 years to the 1904 edition. Since then, we have been used to cyclists concluding their adventure on the Champs Élysées.
