Col du Noyer, Carapaz's launchpad - Tour de France 2024
Forever associated with the legend of Luis Ocaña, Col du Noyer served today as a launchpad for Richard Carapaz to write history, as he brought Ecuador their first victory in the Tour and he became the 110th rider with stage wins in the three Grand Tours.
The Ecuadorian was the fastest on the ascent (0.3km/h faster than Simon Yates) and he was flying on the downhill, going over 84km/h.
