THEMOVE: 2023 Tour de France Stage 7
Lance, JB, and George break down the fast and furious sprint that capped off the Tour’s seventh stage in Bordeaux, where Jasper Philipsen narrowly denied Mark Cavendish a historic record-setting victory. They discuss how Philipsen’s incredible top-end speed, and seemingly unbeatable lead-out from Mathieu van der Poel, has allowed him to sweep the Tour’s sprint stages so far, as well as his dicy-move to pin Biniam Girmay against the barriers in the final few hundred meters, who is to blame for Cavendish’s mechanical issues, and, if they cost him the victory, before closing out the show with a brief preview of the upcoming stage through the Massif Central.
