The CRAZY Power And Speed Of A Tour de France Stage Winner

The CRAZY Power And Speed Of A Tour de France Stage Winner




Jonas Abrahamsen of Uno X Mobility won stage 11 of the 2025 Tour de France at the end of one of the craziest days in the race’s history. Handily, he subsequently uploaded his ride to Strava complete with power data, so Dan has been busy diving into the data.

The stats, both for power and speed, are mind-boggling. On top of that, Abrahamsen had broken his collarbone just two weeks ahead of the Tour de France, so to even be on the start line was an achievement in itself.
