Mark Cavendish has the legs. The Astana team sprinter, who is aiming for the record for victories on this Tour – he rubs shoulders with Eddy Merckx at the top of this classification with 34 stage victories – was recorded at a maximum speed of 73.3 km / h in the last kilometer of the route towards the finish line in Bayonne this Monday, during the third stage.
Despite everything, he finished sixth in the stage. This is better than the winner of the day, Jasper Philipsen, who was “flashed” at 71.2 km/h with an average of 67 km/h over the last kilometer.
