LIVE BLOG! Tour de France 2024 Stage 10: PHILIPSEN WINS! Textbook leadout by van der Poel.
Cycling
The first week of the Tour de France is over. It had everything, from explosive stages in the hills, total mountain brawls, a thrilling time-trial, echelons, incredibly popular victories and finally a brutal stage on gravel roads. The race stabilizes in what is the final day of it's first half. The peleton has arrived at stage 10, a day for the sprinters to battle for another win.
Can Biniam Girmay get his 3rd today or will it be Jasper Philipsen to get his first of this Tour?
Nice to see Wout feeling strong, pity his endurance isn’t quite where it needs to be. Mathieu did well not to try anything silly yesterday, pretty sure his current philosophy is try if the situation is worth it but without risking exhaustion.
His quota for stage wins is completed for the next 4 years and his contract is secure as well

- Why do you keep attacking your GC leader from your team? Vuelta all deja vu ! You are pretty selfish Jonas ! Kuss can attest to that ! Now Matteo can as well.frieders313-03-2025
- Really Jonas! Maybe stay home with your kids next time the weather gets tough! And maybe not attack your GC leading teammate as you also did in Vuelta with Kuss !frieders313-03-2025
- He beat Jonas twice this year, which is strange. Jonas doesn't appear to be as dominant as he was early last year before the crash. But the climb today wasn't long and hard enough for Jonas.
KerisVroom13-03-2025 - I guess it all depends on who all peaks when during their build-up into the season, so I doubt if it's safe to say that Almeida is really better than Jonas.Ride197413-03-2025

- 2021 Tour, not 2022. Merlier and Philipsen both went. Merlier won stage 3 and was clearly the fastest sprinter. Then they immediately changed the lineup for stage 4 with Merlier working leadout for Philipsen. That led to the first win for Cav that year and jasper came in 3rd. Jasper didn't win a single stage that year. Very odd to me that the team neglected the clearly faster rider immediately after winning a stage. Merlier was pretty dominant all of last year from UAE Tour to Euro Championship. The only other bunch sprinter to have a similar level was Milan, and that's continued this year. I can't wait to see those two go head to head at the Tour. Two very different styles for the two current bestEvan12-03-2025
