The much-discussed cobbled stage of the Tour de France was held on Wednesday. Aleksandr Vlasov finished in the 18th position, while breakaway secured the top positions.
“Actually, it was a nice experience today, even, of course, it was a stressful day. The boys did a great job, we have been always in front on the cobbles, and I could enjoy the ride somehow. It was a good race for us, and I am personally also happy with the day,” said Vlasov.
While there were some accidents throughout the stage, he was fortunate to escape any misfortune, except for a puncture. “I had a puncture between the first and second sector, but there was enough time to come back. In general, a big thanks to the guys because they always kept me out of trouble and in some parts, we were able to put some pressure on the others,” concluded Vlasov.

- The other commenters are exactly right - different eras. It does help that bikes now have lower gears without sacrificing higher ones. Merckx rode up mountain passes with a 5 speed cluster- and I doubt he had anything less than a 42x24. See how exhausted you'd be going up Mont Ventoux with that, lol.ScottG14-11-2024
- Times have changed, Bart Wellens, and it's only natural and makes total sense that riders like Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel's primary focus is on their road careers. It has absolutely nothing to do with doing a 'disservice' to the UCI.
