📰 Read the full article: https://sports-podcasts.com/en/episode/cyclisme-record-breaking-speed-takes-over-tour-de-france-stage-11/ The Tour de France speed record is shattered, with a new benchmark set during stage 11. On the 161.3-kilometre route from Vichy to Nevers, the peloton blitzes through at an astounding average of 50.91kph, eclipsing Mario Cipollini's 27-year-old record by 0.55kph. What follows reveals the explosive conditions that led to this historic performance. Søren Warenskjold (Uno-X Mobility) claims victory in a thrilling bunch sprint, as a four-man breakaway is caught just 5 kilometres from the finish. This remarkable pace marks only the third instance in Tour history where the average speed exceeds 50kph, excluding time trials. The last attempt to break Cipollini's record was stage 9 of the previous year's race, averaging 50.013kph. The stage's speed was aided by a light tailwind and aggressive attacks from riders like Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Premier Tech). Even when the breakaway formed, teams like XDS Astana and Soudal-QuickStep ensured high speeds, preventing any escapees from gaining a substantial lead. With pro cycling becoming faster due to advancements in aerodynamics and nutrition, this stage exemplifies the thrilling evolution of the sport. #TourDeFrance #SpeedRecord #Peloton #CyclingNews #Stage11 #Cycling #sports #podcast 🏆 More Cyclisme podcasts: https://sports-podcasts.com/en/sport/cyclisme/ 🎧 Listen to the full playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoWFEoIqbbFvypZ5JaUPiUcQ7dMN-OW5P
