Irish hammer swings on SuperSix EVO, shatters peloton plans.
Stage 10 unfolded like a shard of fractured light—a sliver of the Tour where shadows softened and edges sharpened at once. The roads from Ennezat to Mont-Dore Puy de Sancy traced through ancient lands and whispered stories beneath low clouds.
Ben Healy rode into that rarefied space, the Irish hammer striking precise and sure from the carbon spine of his SuperSix EVO LAB71 Team Edition. No shout, no rush—just a pulse beneath the surface bending the race’s shape. The peloton fractured slow and deliberate, a dance of gaps and pursuit weighted with meaning.
Bastille Day’s light spilled steady over climbs that held history’s weight and the promise of change. Pink and Yellow spoke not as colors but a language—Healy’s resolve a thread weaving through the Tour’s fabric.
The Yellow Jersey arrived assuredly, a breath drawn deep and held steady—a claim made without boast or surrender. A moment suspended between what is and what could be—between the light we see and the light we cannot.
Mountains loomed—monoliths draped in silence and sky. Behind, the race pushed forward, caught in the ripple, Healy set loose. No lead here. A pivot, a breath held, a horizon redrawn. Team EF Education-EasyPost and Cannondale—aligned in vision, bound by ambition, driving the Tour toward its next chapter.
Tomorrow wakes in yellow, held by Healy’s hand.
