Tour, Stage 18: Not Done Yet

Tim Wellens (Lotto Soudal) managed to put himself into the early break of the day.  More importantly, he got himself over the first big climb of the day, the Col de Vars, first.  He added to his now fifteen days in the King of the Mountain Maillot a Pois, lead.  But he is facing two HC catagory climbs on the back side of the stage.  It is expected that a number of jersey should change hands today, most notably this one and the Maillot Jaune.  But then, that is why we race the race, anything can happen.

Tour, Stage 10: Right Back in the Action

As the lead men road past the screaming French cycling fans, it was their countryman, Julian Alaphilippe (Quickstep) who was going to be first over the Montee du plateau des Glieres.  Now the Rudy Molard (Groupama-FDJ) had dropped off the pace, it was Alaphilippe who took over the virtual Maillot a Pois of the King of the Mountains.  The French are still looking for their first stage win of the Tour and it is beginning to look like Alaphilippe might be able to give it to them.  It has been since the 1980's since a Frenchman has won their home tour in Paris, and it doesn't look like that is going to change this year either.  Though if Alaphilippe is able to keep riding like he did today, there could be an upset in the making.
