2: THERE ARE ONLY TWO!
Jasper Philipsen wins his 6th Tour stage, the 4th in this edition.
He becomes the second active rider with at least 4 wins in a single Tour after Mark Cavendish (record: 6 in 2009, the last time with 4: 2021).

60.1: A FURIOUS RUN-IN TO MOULINS
Jasper Philipsen dominated a particularly fast and furious ending of stage 11, covering the last 20 kilometres with an average speed of 60.1km/h. The Belgian sprinter upped the ante to 65.6km/h in the last kilometre, with a top speed of 71.1km/h according to the records of NTT Data.

4X11: SO MANY, SO EARLY
4 wins in the first 11 stages for Jasper Philipsen: the best value since 2017, when Marcel Kittel posted 5, the second all-time value so early in the Tour behind the 6 of François Faber in 1909.

25: A WAIT OF A QUARTER OF A CENTURY
Jasper Philipsen is the first Belgian with 4 wins in a single Tour since Tom Steels in 1998 (stages 1, 12, 18 and 21). Wout van Aert won 3 stages in 2021 and in 2022 as well.

8: THANKS JASPER!
8th win for the Alpecin Team at the Tour. Without Jasper Philipsen, their total would be 2 and their last win would be the 3rd stage of 2021 (Tim Merlier in Pontivy): all the last 6 stages for them are signed by Philipsen.

4-1: COUNTRIES HEAD-TO-HEAD
Since the start of 2020 (Tadej Pogacar’s debut at the Tour), the two most successful countries at the Tour are Belgium (17 stage wins) and Slovenia (13). This year Belgium leads Slovenia 4-1 for stage wins so far.

52/58: PARIS IS GETTING CLOSER
The riders went past the halfway point of the Tour 2023 yesterday. Now that they’ve completed stage 11: they’ve covered 1973.8 of the 3,405.6 kilometres (58%) from Bilbao to Paris and they’ve also overcome more than half of the total elevation of the Tour: 30,371 metres out of 58,037 (52%).
The hardest part is yet to come. The stage with most elevation so far was on day 6, with 3,916 metres to overcome on stage 6 (Pau > Laruns). Three stages beat that score on the remaining way to Paris:
• 4,246 m on stage 14 (Annemasse > Morzine Les Portes du Soleil)
• 4,394 m on stage 15 (Les Gets Les Portes du Soleil > Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc)
• 5,149 m on stage 17 (Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc > Courchevel)

12: WINNER OR SECOND?
Dylan Groenewegen obtains his 12th podium stage at the Tour: now he has scored equally 5 wins and 5 second places, plus 2 third places.
This is his first top-3 in this Tour and since he was second, again behind Philipsen, last year at the Champs Elysées.

3: GETTING THERE
Third top-3 at this Tour for Phil Bauhaus (3rd) after a 2nd place in Bayonne and a 3rd in Nogaro.
