But this Tour had about 4,000 meters more climbing than the 2022 race. So, do the numbers. In any case, these past three weeks felt like a constant team time trial. It wasn’t the spectacle we had hoped for because th ..read more

The Eritrean’s only rival for the points classification victory, Alpecin-Deceuninck’s Jasper Philipsen, won that stage thanks to another powerhouse lead-out by world champion Mathieu van der Poel, and a lead that had been 86 points, 363 to 277, had melted to 32. Fortunately for Girmay, he was not injured in the crash and that was the last sprint to the finish left in the race. Only three intermediate sprints (IS ..read more
