Winner of 10th stage
The British Mark Cavendish was the winner in the tenth stage of the Tour de France 2021, which took place between Albertville and Valence. This was his third in the current edition and 33 in total, putting him one behind Eddy Merckx's record.
It was a relatively calm stage. In the first kilometers, two riders broke away: Tosh van der Sande (Lotto-Soudal) and Hugo Houle (Astana - Premier Tech), who were neutralized with 36 kilometers to go to the finish. The Deceunink - Quick Step put at times a very high pace taking advantage of the winds that ended up generating cuts in the main group. In the end the victory would be for Cavendish in a very clean mass sprint where the whole team, including Julian Alaphilippe worked for him.
