Girmay impressively takes 2nd.
Nice job by Alepecin leading Jasper Philipsen to the stage win.

And now things get spicy tomorrow.

Phillepsen had the perfect team lead out, Girmay looked like he was sprinting through traffic trying to avoid the cops - no team support at all.

I saw a post on Reddit where a guy predicted Bardet will take Stage 11.

Then Gaudu, Carapaz and Yates.

Descriptions have this stage as not super hard climbing, but not flat at all. So it will be a whole day of stress.

When Miguel Indurain was winning the tour in the 90s he was averaging 38-39 km/h.

I don't know what the guys are averaging this year. But it feels like it's in the mid 40s.

At the moment Le Tour is at 42.7 after 10 stages.

The Giro was raced at an average of 41.

These are the fastest races this season. Notice all the stage races take most of the top 20.

Discovery +

Discovery shutdown GCN+. Which was for about £40-50/$50-60per year. Showed you everything Road CycloX MtB BMX Track cycling and documentaries. But iirc there were some restrictions in North America for some of the races.

For North America it would be Max as its part of Discovery. In Europe its Discovery/Eurosport.

Pogacar on another level.
That descent from Roglic tho


Announcers keep talking like Pogi has mechanical issues but Vingegaard and Roglic aren't making up any time on this descent.

Roglic is an ex Ski Jumper he should know how to descent.
