Canadian Michael Woods delivered an impressive solo effort to claim the biggest success of his career at the Tour de France on Sunday.
Canada's Michael Woods wins the ninth stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 182.5 kilometers with start in Saint-Leonard-de-Noblat and finish in Puy de Dome, France, Sunday, July 9, 2023.
“I am still having a pinch-myself moment. I can’t believe I did it. I am really proud of myself, really proud of my team. It’s special.” A group of 14 experienced riders managed to break away soon after the start of the race. On the hilly roads of the Limousin region, the peloton first kept them on a tight leash. They were finally given permission to move away, and they built a lead of more than 16 minutes.
Fellow Canadian Hugo Houle, Woods’ Israel-Premier Tech teammate, won Stage 16 of last year’s Tour. Woods finished third that day. 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.
