Paul Voss Tour de France 2015 on Strava.PNGNow THAT's a Strava KOM - Paul Voss posts polka-dot winning Tour de France ride
Paul Voss of Bora-Argon 18 was the first rider to lay claim to a jersey at this year’s Tour de France, getting into yesterday’s break and leading the race over the two categorised climbs to ensure he would be in the polka-dot jersey today.
The German is one of around three dozen riders who uploaded their data to Strava afterwards, with Voss achieving a maximum power output of 1,007 Watts and an average speed of 43.8kph.
Here’s his data, plus links below to some of the other men who shared their opening stage on the ride-sharing network, including LottoNL-Jumbo’s George Bennett who was involved in the crash in the final sprint.
Some are quite creative with their descriptions, and the word “stress” appears regularly – others just stick with the defaults.

Laurens ten Dam – First stage done and dusted!
Adrien Petit – Etape 1: bloqué par la chute au 5kms

Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
Surely Lincolnshire is a prime location for UK cycle infrastructure - after all, it's flat, so should assuage the most common excuse that people...
Yes! 100% a Pace!
No, they wear them because of forty years of misinformation and propaganda.
I did my first BC intro to coaching course last year and really enjoyed it. But I am not a member of a cycling club and ride with groups of like...
Hmm - crashing off the side of a mountain at 48kmh sounds a lot safer than crashing off the side of a mountain at 55. Yeah....
Churnalism nowadays - mostly clickbait stuff and regurgitation in the local rags/comics and beyond.
I'm glad the barrier wasn't damaged. Whew, close one there! \s
I repurposed a bent rear derailleur hanger into a keyring. It's very useful, and you can use it to open bottles of beer.
My bum hates Flites. Worse saddle ever for me.
Putting this here as no where else to go...
