Canadian Michael Woods delivered an impressive solo effort to claim the biggest success of his career at the Tour de France on Sunday.

“With Jorgenson being so strong … I it was going to be very, very difficult to come back and I doubted it,” Woods said after the race. “But, I didn’t really worry about that. I just focused on myself and continued to believe. Regardless of the outcome, I was going to go my hardest all the way to the top.”

Houle’s victory was Canada’s first stage win in the historic race since Steve Bauer captured the opening stage of the Tour in 1988.“Mike showed us again that he is one of the best climbers in the world … Due to my personal relationship with Mike and the other Canadians on our team, I couldn’t be more proud,” said Israel Premier-Tech team owner Sylvan Adams, a Canadian-Israeli entrepreneur.

Riding well behind the breakaway, Pogacar and Vingegaard were again in a class of their own in the group of contenders. After another great collective effort from Vingegaard’s Jumbo-Visma teammates in the final ramp that destroyed the field, Pogacar launched his attack with 1.5 kilometres left and accelerated again on the steepest gradients.
