Le Tour 2017 – Stage 10

A hilly stage with two category 4 climbs, Côte de Domme and Côte du Buisson-de-Cadouin, extends the period of recuperation after Stage 9.

Marcel Kittel has won his fourth stage in this Tour. With so many of the sprinters already out of the race, he is building up his lead for Green.

Note: Wikipedia has a simple article on the Mountain classification used on the Tour. The basic fact is that climbs fall into five types, with the four numbered types decreasing in difficulty as the numbers get larger, and then there is the Hors Catégorie, literally “without category”, which generally makes you look for an elevator or Sherpas.
