Magnus Cort

Magnus Cort snatched Stage 10 victory by a hair's breadth at the Tour de France as Tadej Pogacar had to sprint to keep yellow.

One of those riders who refused to give in was Cort, who played his cards right to take the second Tour win of his career four years after the first. After a day of GC stalemate – despite Kamna’s meteoric rise to second place – the battle for yellow should ignite on Wednesday with the first of two key summit finishes. I was losing my place in the group in the last couple of kilometres but suddenly it was all back together and I was there and able to take it in the sprint. Although he managed to dodge the obstacles, Bettiol was pulled up by the race organisers moments later and the stage was neutralised until the safety of both protestors and riders could be guaranteed. Bettiol was caught halfway up the Cat.2 Montee de l’Altiport de Megeve by the impressive Wright, Frenchman Thomas and the German Georg Zimmermann (Intermarche-Wanty-Gobert). First, lone leader Sanchez was caught by Schultz and the American Matteo Jorgenson (Movistar) after the summit of the final climb, two kilometres from the finish.

Magnus Cort Nielsen won stage 10 as the Tour de France returned from a rest day to be hit by Covid-19 withdrawals and environmental protests on the road.

This year’s “road book”, the manual given to all those working on the race, states that the Tour is “resolutely committed to being an increasingly eco-responsible organisation.” In 2020, during the pandemic Tour, the race was criticised by recently elected “green” mayors in some of France’s major cities. At around 36 kilometres from the finish, on a section of straight road, the protesters sat on the course and set off red flares. The Tour de France organisers, ASO, declined to comment on the protest. We need to make our government react as they lead us to the slaughterhouse. Despite being chained together around the neck, a small group of young protesters were dragged off the race route by tour officials.
