Jasper Philipsen Wins Stage 10 of Tour de France in Thrilling Sprint Finish

Posted : 09 July 2024

Belgian cyclist Jasper Philipsen claimed victory in a thrilling mass sprint on stage 10 of the Tour de France. The flat 187.3km route took riders from Orleans to the south, with Philipsen narrowly edging out Eritrean Biniam Girmay. This win adds to Philipsen's impressive performance, reducing the gap between him and current green jersey holder Girmay, who boasts two stage wins and 267 points to Philipsen's 193.

 

Tuesday's race unfolded under mild weather conditions, with the peloton taking a relaxed pace across the vast wheat plains. Among the riders, notable moves included Briton Tom Pidcock unwrapping a sandwich mid-race and Pavel Sivakov tossing a water bottle into a spectator's open camper door. Philipsen's victory was significantly aided by his teammate, world road race champion Mathieu van der Poel, who led him out at a remarkable speed of 75km/h.

 

In the overall standings, Tadej Pogacar maintained his 33-second lead over Remco Evenepoel, with defending champion Jonas Vingegaard in third, 1 minute and 15 seconds behind. The race for the title remains fierce among the so-called Fab Four: Pogacar, Evenepoel, Vingegaard, and Primoz Roglic, who is in fourth place. Evenepoel appears fresh and composed, while Vingegaard is steadily gaining form, though he faces an early setback with his current time deficit.

 

Mark Cavendish's hopes for a record-extending 36th stage win were dashed when he lost his sprint train in the final kilometer. The next stage promises more challenges as riders continue southward through dormant volcanic mountains and encounter several testing climbs near Clermont. This stage could potentially shake up the standings as the contenders continue their intense struggle for the yellow jersey.
