Tour '25, Stage 11: Amongst the French

Obviously, the Tour de France is spent amongst the French both in the race and lining nearly every kilometer of the Grande Boucle.  Marco Haller (Tudor Pro Cycling) was the lone Austrian amongst this five-man group that has gone off in search of the breakaway.  He was attacking with two Frenchmen on one French team, Alexandre Delettre and Matteo Vercher of TotalEnergies and an additional two Frenchmen on another French team, Clement Berthet and Bastien Tronchon of Decathlon-Ag2r-La Mondiale.  Unfortunately for the quintet, they were caught by the peloton not long after I painted this with another 102 kilometers that will bring them back to where they started in Toulouse.

Paris Nice '24, Stage 2: It's Flat Now

While we didn't see the climbs (they came before the race came on air), Alexandre Delettre (TotalEnergies) took maximum points over both of them.  He is building on the lead that won him the Maillot a Pois in the opening stage.  The title refers to just how flat the stage was now with another 79 kilometers left to race.  He was joined in the breakaway by Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno X-Mobility) and Samuel Fernandez (Caja Rural-Seguros).  At this point, the trio only has a minute on the chasing peloton, so I am guessing a stage victory is not in the cards for these guys today.
