Philipsen Wins Stage 10 of 2024 Tour

Jasper Philipsen of the Alpecin-Deceuninck team claimed his first stage win of this year's Tour de France on Tuesday, after an impressive sprint finish on the 10th stage from Orléans to Saint-Amand-Montrond. Philipsen, who had several close finishes earlier in the race, was expertly led out by teammate Mathieu van der Poel, ultimately outpacing Eritrean Biniam Girmay and German Pascal Ackermann. Despite intermittent showers, the stage proceeded without major disruptions, and the peloton enjoyed scenic views of the 500-year-old Château de Chambord. Tadej Pogacar retained the yellow jersey, maintaining a 33-second lead over Remco Evenepoel and a more than one-minute advantage over defending champion Jonas Vingegaard. The upcoming mountain stage in the Massif Central is anticipated to be significantly more challenging.
