Stage 10 | Albertville - Valence | Tour de France 2021

Season 9, Episode 105,   Jul 06, 2021, 09:43 PM

The Mark Cavendish comeback tour continued after the rest day with a sprint stage to Valence which saw the Manxman take his third victory of the race and another giant step towards equalling the record we dare not mention.

Richard Moore and François Thomazeau are joined by Lionel Birnie, who took the TGV to Valence and enjoyed as comfortable a train ride as Cavendish on the back of the Deceuninck-Quick Step lead-out.

We hear from Matt White, sports director of Team Bike Exchange about Michael Matthews’s hopes of challenging Cavendish for the green jersey. There’s a wealth of Provençal knowledge from François and we look ahead to tomorrow’s double ascent of Mont Ventoux.
