The Tour de France and Ineos Grenadiers remembered Nicolas Portal before the start of stage 9 in Pau, with his wife and children attending the unveiling of the latest totem in the outdoor Tour de France museum and then standing with the Ineos riders on the start line of the stage. 

The yellow totem recalled Egan Bernal’s victory in 2019, with a photo of Portal amongst the images selected to remember the race.
