A day in the life of warren barguil
Early Career
Barguil began his professional career in 2011 when he rode for Bretagne–Schuller as a trainee. While riding for this team, he won stage 8 of the Tour de l'Avenir, and finished 5th overall. The following year, he rode also as a trainee for Argos–Shimano. This was a successful season for the cyclist, as he won the Tour de l'Avenir and was second overall in the Tour des Pays de Savoie.
2013
For the 2013 season, Barguil joined the team as a regular rider. The then 21 year old booked his largest victories up to that point of his career, when he won stages 13 and 16 of the Vuelta a España. Barguil took no other wins this season, but placed 4th in the Rund um Köln and 8th in the Grand Prix d'Ouverture La Marseillaise.
2015
Barguil rode his first Tour de France, finishing 14th overall.
2016
On 23 January 2016, Barguil was one of the six members of the Team Giant–Alpecin who were hit by a car which drove into on-coming traffic while they were training in Spain. All riders were in stable condition.
Barguil finished in 6th position in the Liège–Bastogne–Liège one-day classic.
2017
Barguil took the polka dot jersey after Stage 9 of the Tour de France; he was beaten into second position by a whisker at the stage's finishing line in Chambéry by Rigoberto Urán in a thrilling photo finish. He won Stage 13 in a sprint finish from a four-man breakaway in Foix, beating Nairo Quintana, Alberto Contador and Mikel Landa; that was the first Tour de France stage win of his career and made him the first Frenchman to win a Tour de France stage on Bastille Day since David Moncoutié's Stage 12 victory in 2005.Barguil also won Stage 18 (it finished on the hors catégorie Col d'Izoard) after surging clear of lone stage leader Darwin Atapuma (who was leading the stage solo by 1 min 45 sec with five kilometres to go) 800 metres from the finishing line. After his Stage 18 win, Barguil had an insurmountable 89-point lead over second-placed Primož Roglič at the top of the Mountains Classification.
Barguil was thrown out the 2017 Vuelta a España by his Team Sunweb team after the end of Stage 7 and before the start of Stage 8. He was 13th in the general classification after the end of Stage 7, 1:43 behind the general classification leader Chris Froome. The reasons given by Team Sunweb for Barguil's ejection from the 2017 Vuelta a España were: his disagreement with the team over race goals and tactics; he wanted a free role to work for himself in the mountain stages (of the 2017 Vuelta a España) and that this had created several disagreements within the team; his refusal to obey team orders by not waiting for Wilco Kelderman after the Dutchman had a punctured tyre on stage 7 and lost time as a result of it.
