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.

Just my opinion, but sorry that bike is UGLY! I can't see that sort of price for a completed bike, not alone for just the frame and fork!...
I find it deeply jarring and disappointing that Sir David agrees with these people not wanting a cycle lane. Whenever I watch one of his excellent...
May need insurance, tax and a licence. No problem with the lights though.
Yes, they look just like the Lezyne Zecto model. My club bought a couple of sets from the LBS for our midweek TTs so if someone turns up without...
If you can't see a %^$&ing large tractor what ^%$£"!*ing hope is there that you will see a cyclist ?...

Looks like yet another bike share service that's going to fold because of selfish idiots.
This should do it...
