Pello Bilbao Earns Wild Stage 10 Victory; Jonas Vingegaard Holds Leader Jersey

Our first full coverage of the 110th Tour de France begins on Stage 10. The cycling phenomenon began on July 1, but the early stages have fallen to the back of our holiday schedule. That’ll change over the next week. Monday was the rest day in the midst of the 23-day, 2,200-mile race. Things picked back up on Tuesday as a fiery finish to Stage 10 saw five riders finish with a second of each other in the Vulcania stage — an instant climb through a range of extinct volcanoes. One of the toughest days of the race featured Pello Bilbao Lopez crossing the tape for his first stage victory.

1. P. Bilbao Lopez (3h, 52m, 34s)
