On stage seven of this years Tour De France, just after the summit of the 1249m high climb of the Port del Comte, Fabian Cancellara stopped for a rear wheel pucture. After loosing about a minute1 the Tour leader set off in pursuit of the peloton being driven by the Astana team. No speeds are shown but I would estimate much of the time to be spent at between 80 and 90km/hr.

A masterclass in descending.

  1. He also took the chance to take a ‘break natural’..
