As it happened: breakaway claims tour de france stage 10.

167.2km from Vulcania to Issoire promises hilly terrain to help a breakaway stay clear

Tour de France stage 10 preview Tour de France - Everything you need to know Tour de France route Tour de France favourites

Hello and welcome to Cyclingnews' live coverage of stage 10 of the 2023 Tour de France!

With the first rest day behind us and 12 stages left to race, we head into the second week with three hillier stages before venturing back into the high mountains at the weekend. Today's stage is a 167.2km test from Vulcania, a volcano-themed amusement park, to Issoire. The riders will have five categorised climbs to deal with in the sweltering heat of central France, and the parcours should suit the breakaway specialists. 

Here's a look at the jagged profile of stage 10 which shows how we'll be climbing straight from the flag being waved. There should be an almighty fight for the break once we get started and any team who missed out on the spoils of an electric first week will want to get something out of today. Neutralised start: 13:05 CEST Official start: 13:20 CEST

Profile of stage 10 of the 2023 Tour de France

The riders are completing sign-ons and the team presentation in Vulcania with cooling vests a very common choice for the riders on such a hot day. Here's Tony Gallopin (Lidl-Trek) receiving a great reception on stage the day after announcing his retirement.

TODAY'S TOUR DE FRANCE MENU

Here's the key moments to look out for on the route for stage 10: 160.2km to go - Climb: Col de la Moréno (4.8km at 4.7%) 139.9km to go - Climb: Col de Guéry (7.8km at 5%) 107.3km to go - Intermediate sprint: Le Mont-Dore 100.6km to go - Climb: Col de la Croix Saint-Robert (6km at 6.3%) 82.9km to go - Climb: Côte de Saint-Victor-la-Rivière (3km at 5.9%) 28.6km to go - Climb: Côte de la Chapelle-Marcousse (6.5km at 5.6%) Stage finish: Issoire

There are a maximum of 13 king of the mountains points on offer today, so expect Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost) to be in the fight for the break and trying to extend his lead over Felix Gall (AG2R-Citroën). His teammate Magnus Cort is also one of the favourites for the day and Alberto Bettiol could be another option for the American team. This would've been one of the stages they highlighted as a great opportunity before the race, so look out for pink jerseys. 

We're underway from the neutralised start in Vulcania. Issoire here we come. We'll be climbing almost straight away in the heat with a spicy first few kilometres incoming. It's a long neutralised section in the départ fictif with 7.5km of steady riding before the race explodes into life. 

All teams and riders were warming up on the rollers and turbo trainers before the day to get the legs moving before it all kicks off. It's going to be hot, it's going to be hard. Don't miss out on what should be an almighty fight to get into the break of the day. 

You know it's going to be a 🌶️ start when the guys are on the rollers before neutral ⚡️#TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/xW1sPJfv84 July 11, 2023

All smiles for yellow jersey wearer, Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), on the start line today. 

Jonas Vingegaard tour de France 2023

The bunch looks nervous on what is set to be a brutal re-introduction to racing at the  110th Tour de France. The Massif Central will be our arena for battle in the heat. 

There's been some early mechanical issues for Christophe Laporte (Jumbo-Visma) and Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ). 

167.2KM TO GO

Stage 10 of the 2023 Tour de France in officially underway! We'll be climbing straight away on a day without much respite. Christian Prudhomme has waved his flag perfectly on km0 and everyone is looking around for now. 

The Col de la Moréno (4.8km at 4.7%) is first up with most teams obviously interested. Still cagey for now though, with no big attack launched yet. 

Nelson Oliveira (Movistar) has gone off the front with Quinten Hermans (Alpecin-Deceuninck) for company. There's a bigger group of around eight riders chasing onto them. 

Dylan Teuns (Israel-Premier Tech) is the next to try his luck off the front but he is quickly joined by Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), who was one of the big favourites for the day. 

Israel-Premier Tech are clearly keen to make it back-to-back stage wins after Michael Woods triumphed on stage 9 up the Puy de Dôme. Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek) is also well towards the front and could be a good pick for the day. 

Van Aert obviously wants to make this move. Caleb Ewan (Lotto-Dstny) has been caught up in a slowing at the back of the bunch on today, his birthday. 

Local lad, Rémi Cavagna (Soudal-QuickStep), will be delighted to have made this early move for now. Of course, the fight for the break is far from over. He's joined by Michał Kwiatkowski, Ion Izagirre (Cofidis), Anthon Charmig (Uno-X) and the Israel duo of Krists Neilands and Corbin Strong. 

160KM TO GO

Charmig crests out first climb at the head of the race and takes the two KOM points with it. We're lined out in the groups behind after such a difficult start. Fabio Jakobsen (Soudal-QuickStep) is already struggling towards the back of the peloton. This will be a horrible day for the sprinters. 

We've got an incredibly strong and limited group of our GC favourites in the second group on the road. This race is split up all over the road. We're going to have the top two favourites for the overall at the head of the day with over 150km left to ride. 

We're over the first climbing test of the day, but it's far from the last. We'll have a small descending section before we get back to work on the Col de Guéry. That rest day is going to feel like it was an age ago with such a brutal stinging of the legs straight from the flag. 

Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) seems to have missed this move with some of his teammates working to reduce a 45 second gap from the third group on the road to the group of favourites. Vingegaard only has Sepp Kuss for company, while Pogačar has Adam Yates and Rafał Majka close behind. What a start. 

Pogačar made a huge effort to bridge the final few metres to the leading group which was curious, as it seems to have put Majka and Yates in difficulty. Behind, Ineos Grenadiers have had a nightmare and missed the move with their big GC favourites. Kwiatkowski is there, but Tom Pidcock (7th overall) and Carlos Rodríguez (4th overall) haven't made it. Panic stations in the group behind for those who've missed it. 

We've split up again in the front with the two GC principals now not at the very front of the race and actually sat 20 seconds behind. Things should all come back together and calm down. 

150KM TO GO

Panic will be over soon as Ben Turner (Ineos Grenadiers) reels back in the yellow jersey group after they knocked off their effort. The break now have a 30 second advantage. 

Van Aert has shot our of the peloton with Victor Campenaerts and the Lidl-Trek duo of Jasper Stuyven and Giulio Ciccone. Stuyven actually got dropped as I typed that, but the other three have made it into the break. No one will want to see that red-bull helmet in their with them. 

Mohorič is the next rider to realise he has to make this move. The Ineos Grenadiers being forced to bring their GC leaders back has given riders in the peloton a second launch pad to bridge the gap. 

The peloton is actually about to bring the break back now. We're all back together and we should have round two any second in this big fight for the break. 

Here's a look at the Puy de Dôme in all its glory as the peloton passes, rather than ascends it on today's stage. Beautiful views throughout central France on show all day today. 

2023 Tour de France stage 10

Romain Bardet (DSM-Firmenich) is starting to suffer under the unrelenting pressure of the day's opening 20km. 

Neilands goes again. The Latvian is clearly in fine form today as he's been active from the very start. The peloton are still riding extremely hard behind though, with the GC favourites right toward the fore. Tiesj Benoot (Jumbo-Visma) is giving a lot on the front as one of Vingegaard's few remaining teammates trying to establish some sort of control. 

David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) has been dropped out the back and is believed to be at 1:28 seconds from the race lead. Absolute disaster of a start for the Frenchman. 

There are riders scattered everywhere across the roads. This start has put almost two thirds of the peloton into supreme suffering. Neilands looks in contrast, fantastic at the front. 

Wout Poels (Bahrain Victorious) is making his way across to Neilands. We've seen the Dutchman be tremendous at the Tour in his career so he'll be a good companion for Neilands. Poels took the KOM points atop the second classified climb of the day. 

We're onto our second descent of the day and what a sight it is before us. Alaphilippe in full descending flow, panache personified and giving it everything at the head of the race. Loulou putting on a show. He's got Mohorič on his wheel as clearly the only man able to follow him. These two are the absolute finest on the downhills in cycling. 

Is Mohorič using his dropper seat post that he used to aid him win Milan-Sanremo in 2022? 

130KM TO GO

It's still full on in the peloton who sit 12 seconds behind our two leaders. The group containing Gaudu is now posted at close to two minutes. It also contains Bardet and Van Aert, despite them both being two of the instigators of early moves today. 

There are four hopeful chasers trying to bridge across to Mohorič and Alaphilippe on this uncategorised section of climbing: Lilian Calmejane and Georg Zimmermann (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty), Oliveira and Neilands. 

Scratch that, we're coming back together again. There's still teams unhappy with the composition and unhappy to let it go. Non-stop racing for nearly 40km now. Kuss is doing a tremendous amount of work for Jumbo in the group which is strange. 

Groupama-FDJ have a full training going to try and bring Gaudu's GC hopes out of the fire in the chasing group. Esteban Chaves (EF Education-EasyPost) has been riding nicely today, always towards the front and looking strong.

Our next group to try contains Skjelmose and Asgreen. There's some snaking on the road and looking around behind in the peloton (or what's left of it) and this group at the front is now working well to build an advantage. 

Philipsen has gestured a revving of a motorcycle in the third group on the road to show just how difficult this start has been. It's still not over as well. 

Here's our leading group of seven for now: - Esteban Chaves (EF Education-EasyPost) - Kasper Asgreen (Soudal-QuickStep) - Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious) - Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek) - Georg Zimmermann (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty) - Nick Schultz (Israel-Premier Tech) - Warren Barguil (Arkéa-Samsic)

Pogačar is glued to Vingegaard's wheel in this second group on the road. 

120KM TO GO

Ben O'Connor (AG2R-Citroën) is on the attack and looking good as he tries to reach out front group of seven. The Australian is currently 18th on GC. He's got Tejada, Pedrero and Perez for company as they pursue the leaders on the road. 

Alaphilippe is shaking his head and huffing and puffing as he tries to muster up more strength in the group of pursuers. Here's a look at him from his earlier attack with Mohorič. 

Julian Alaphilippe and Matej Mohoric Tour de France 2023

DSM-Firmenich and Groupama-FDJ have their near full contingents of riders working on the front in the third group to try and save their GC leaders. They aren't, however, making much of a dent into the leading group and are set to still lose around two minutes as it stands. 

CURRENT SITUATION AT 111KM TO GO

Head of the race: Break containing Chaves, Asgreen, Bilbao, Skjelmose etc. +0:32: Group containing O'Connor and Alaphilippe +1:03: Yellow jersey group with Vingegaard and Pogačar +2:26: Group containing Gaudu and Bardet

Gaudu and Bardet will be delighted that there disadvantage is now only 1:00 with the remnants of the peloton finally somewhat calming. Jumbo have assumed their place at the front and are riding a much more reasonable tempo. The two French GC men should make it back in thanks to their respective teams.

Asgreen takes the intermediate sprint point ahead of Barguil, but Soudal-QuickStep will be much happier to almost have two riders in this front group as the Alaphilippe group closes in on the head of the race. Philipsen shows just how versatile he is to hang onto an absolutely obliterated peloton to take the solitary green jersey point still available. Most of the other sprinters are well out the back by now and will just be hoping to meet the time cut today. 

As we start the Col de la Croix Saint-Robert (6km at 6.3%), Guillame Martin (Cofidis) shoots off the front of the peloton in pursuit of the break. He's done it before and gained lots of time on GC in his history, but a 1:48 gap is quite significant to close on just one climb. 

As we finally calm down at the front, here's a look at how closely our two GC favourites were forced to watch each other in today's electric start. 

Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard Tour de France 2023 stage 10

O'Connor has attacked away from his chasing group companions to try and ensure he makes the day's break. At the front of the road, Barguil has attacked the break on the climb. Chaves is first to follow as Bilbao paces the group and the rest siphon into his wheel. Asgreen is at the back likely waiting for Alaphilippe. 

104KM TO GO

Asgreen is dropping from the front group. Has he been ordered to go and get his team leader? Or is he simply struggling? He's got the jersey unzipped and this isn't exactly his terrain so perhaps Bilbao has just put him into the red for too long. 

O'Connor has flew across the gap and made it to the front. He looks very very strong. Could this be a return of the legs that saw him win into Tignes two years ago and that saw him podium to Dauphiné last month?

Jumbo-Visma seem to be drilling it on the front as multiple riders are being dropped again, namely Mikkel Bjerg (UAE Team Emirates) and Kevin Geniets (Groupama-FDJ). They clearly aren't too happy with Bilbao's presence in the front as he is only 7:37 back on Vingegaard overall. 

Chavez moves off the front, but he's hunted down by a former king of the mountains winner, Barguil, before the top of the Col de la Croix Saint-Robert (6km at 6.3%). Our second group on the road struggled on the climb and now sit 44 seconds behind. Only O'Connor was strong enough, but look for Alaphilippe to descend full gas to try and close the gap. 

"Wout being Wout"

🇫🇷 #TDF2023Wout being Wout. He’s in the peloton now. 😉 We’re controlling the bunch with our whole team. Around two minutes behind a breakaway group. pic.twitter.com/vlM39bMatT July 11, 2023

Alalphilippe is closing the gap as expected on the descent. He's giving the legs a shake out with Asgreen also working for him on the front. Gap is now at just over 20 seconds. 

The second group on the road has the leaders in their sights and we are close to having a joining together of both our groups of seven. They've toiled away on one of the few bits of flat road today to reach them before the foot of the Côte de Saint-Victor-la-Rivière (3km at 5.9%). 

Chavez attacks almost instantaneously as the catch it made. The Colombian national champion clearly didn't want that big a group around him. On a side note, his jersey is absolutely beautiful. You can see it below in the middle of the group. Asgreen has dropped as a result of this pace increase. 

Esteban Chavez 2023 Tour de France stage 10

Chavez is looking great here and has 32 seconds of an advantage already. 

Chavez takes the maximum points atop the Côte de Saint-Victor-la-Rivière (3km at 5.9%). There's now a 50km portion without any categorised climbs, but the parcours is hardly flat and will jag up and down all the way till the foot of the Côte de la Chapelle-Marcousse (6.5km at 5.6%). 

Israel-Premier Tech have got onto the team radio to remind their riders to fuel. After the ridiculous two hours of non-stop racing we had to start stage 10 in the heat, it will be even more important and could be the difference between fighting for the win and blowing up.

The front of the race has all come back together after Chavez realised his solo move wasn't the best option. Asgreen has come back and is still setting tempo for Alaphilippe. 

The peloton are passing through the lovely looking, Besse en Chandesse with a band playing them on. They have maintained the gap to the break at just over 3:00. Bilbao would move up to seventh from 11th if the race was to end right now. 

Alpecin-Deceuninck have moved to the front of the peloton with Silvain Dillier. Are they working to chase the break down to let Van der Poel challenge for the win?

Tobias Halland Johannessen (Uno-X) is having some minor mechanical issues at the back of the peloton, but managed to kick his rear mech and pulley-wheel gently and is back on his way to the bunch. 

Full composition of the breakaway: - Michał Kwiatkowski (Ineos Grenadiers) - Esteban Chaves (EF Education-EasyPost) - Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal-QuickStep) - Kasper Asgreen (Soudal-QuickStep) - Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious) - Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek) - Ben O'Connor (AG2R-Citroën) - Georg Zimmermann (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty) - Anthony Perez (Cofidis) - Antonio Pedrero (Movistar) - Krists Neilands (Israel-Premier Tech) - Nick Schultz (Israel-Premier Tech) - Warren Barguil (Arkéa-Samsic) - Harold Tejada (Astana Qazaqstan)

The leaders are currently on the uncategorised Col de la Chamoune. In around 13km, they will start a big descent en route to the foot of our final categorised climb of the stage, the Côte de la Chapelle-Marcousse (6.5km at 5.6%), before descending down into Issoire. 

Jayco-AlUla have now committed a rider on the front of the peloton to help control the gap to the leaders. Simon Yates started the 2:53 ahead of Pello Bilbao, so they won't want to get leapfrogged. The gap to the break is slightly coming down and is now at 2:46. 

Jayco are joined by Alpecin taking up the mantle of working on the stage, one team to protect their GC ambitions and one to try and possibly get the stage win. 

#TDF2023 As the stage moves into the final 60km we've put @luke_durbridge1 to work on the front to help keep the gap to the breakaway in check 👊The gap is 2'35" ⏱ pic.twitter.com/UtkzGB0TZr July 11, 2023

It's actually Van der Poel himself who has been put to work, can Philipsen survive all these climbs and sprint for the win?

It's absolutely roasting at the finish line with temperatures around 40 degrees. There is a chance of some thunderstorms and rain also, however. 

How many times has this man attacked today? Neilands moves off the front again with a bold move just before this long descent. 

Van der Poel is chipping away at the advantage with Durbridge and Van Aert also swapping turns on the front. With so much descending left in the stage, the advantage should be in the break's favour. 

Alaphilippe is the next to show his hand before the descent which will be his time to shine. Kwiatkowski isn't far behind. 

Neilands is going to be caught just as the descent starts. Bilbao is an incredible descender and has come to the front to maximise his skill advantage. 

Asgreen and Tejada are struggling to stay in touch on the start to this long descent. 

Van der Poel and Van Aert have actually gapped the peloton and are now riding in tandem 2:22 behind the breakaway. It's slightly confusing given the size of the advantage. 

They've both been the radio, but are pulling through and helping each other for now.  It's like watching the spring Classics all over again. 

Here's a look back at Neilands on the attack almost 100km ago when the stage kicked into life. He's still in the breakaway of the day and alongside teammate Nick Schultz, they have a great chance to win back-to-back stage after Michael Woods' triumph on the Puy de Dôme on Sunday. 

ISSOIRE FRANCE JULY 11 LR Krists Neilands of Latvia and Team IsraelPremier Tech and Bryan Coquard of France and Team Cofidis compete in the breakaway during the stage ten of the 110th Tour de France 2023 a 1672km stage from Vulcania to Issoire UCIWT on July 11 2023 in Issoire France Photo by David RamosGetty Images

Our superstar duo of Van Aert and Van der Poel have made around 30 seconds of a gap to the peloton, but haven't made much progress on the 2:17 advantage of the now 12-man breakaway. 

We're nearing the final climb of the day, the Côte de la Chapelle-Marcousse (6.5km at 5.6%), on which there is a kilometre which averages over 7%. The best climbers in the group will want to target this sector if they are to drop the punchers riders with them. 

Perez has dropped under the brutal pressure. Skjelmose is struggling at the back of the break now which is surprising. 

Skjlemose hasn't given up and has left Kwiatkowski behind as he tries to rejoin the head of the race. 

Schultz is setting quite the tempo in the break with Neilands in his wheel, when will the Latvian launch? 

Schultz is done and Neilands goes! He's been flying all day long as the group behind him look at each other to decide who's going to chase. He's got a big gap already. 

It's very windy on this section of the climb, so the chasers are all looking for the best position to get some respite. 14 seconds is the gap now to Neilands. Behind, Ineos Grenadiers are taking up the mantle of chasing - Kwiatkowski has been dropped so the stage win is gone, forcing them to want to catch Bilbao and protect Pidcock's seventh place on GC. 

Chavez sets off in pursuit of our lone leader with Bilbao in his wheel, Pedrero, Zimmermann and Alaphilippe are also close. Van der Poel has knocked off his effort with Van Aert riding solo. 

Alaphilippe, Barguil and O'Connor are now all struggling. The former World Champion will try on the descent, but how much time can he make up on Neilands?

The gap to Ineos is out at 3:45 now to Neilands and 3:15 to Bilbao. Lots of work to do all the way to the line if they want to protect Pidcock's seventh place overall and Rodríguez' fourth place. 

Neilands has crossed the Côte de la Chapelle-Marcousse (6.5km at 5.6%) KOM point with an advantage of just under 40 seconds. Bilbao is probably the only man who can descend well enough to have any chance of catching him. 

On the final few hundred metres of the climb that aren't part of the KOM, Neilands has lost around 10 seconds. O'Connor has gone to the front in the chasing group. Will 30 seconds be enough of an advantage on the descent for the Latvian?

Here comes the biggest 22km of Neilands' career as he tries to find glory at the Tour de France. It's not a super technical descent, but more one where power out of the corners and consistency will be very important. He's got five riders trying to chase him down. 

The five chasers have already took eight seconds out of our leaders advantage. He'll have to find something extra if he is to hold them off. It will flatten out in the final few kilometres so he'll need to save something for then. 

Bilbao is leading the group behind, but they are turning off and pulling through in the Spaniard's wheel. Gap at 20 seconds now. 

Speeds are up to 80km/h in the chasing group. They are eating away at his advantage very, very quickly. Alaphilippe's group is at 44 seconds for now with a very strong group of descenders.

We're about to reach our last kicker on the parcours before the final descent and flat run into Issoire. Neilands has 15 seconds on Bilbao and co. with Alaphilippe's group a further 20 seconds back. 

Bilbao is definitely going to gain time on GC, but the big question will be how much? IPT's team car are giving Neilands all the encouragement in the world that he can and will make this move stick to the line. 

Pedrero has been gapped by his four fellow chasers. There are reports of a sprint group around 27 minutes down on the road for now. They'll be doing the calculations behind to ensure they survive the time cut on the line, with tomorrow providing the only chance for the fast men in the second week. 

Neilands fought back strongly on that uphill sector to revive his slimming advantage. His main worry will be once they got onto the flat section and the break can see him. This is going to be touch and go all the way to the line. 

The Latvian is leaving everything out on the road, but the group of five should see him soon and start working better in unison. Will the chasers hesitate and look at each other or work together to get a chance for the victory?

CURRENT SITUATION AT 7KM TO GO

Head of the race - Neilands +0:15 - Chavez, Bilbao, O'Connor, Zimmermann, Pedrero +0:32 - Alaphilippe, Kwiatkowski, Skjelmose, Barguil, 

Neilands is holding more than a 12 second advantage for now, but he has to keep his effort going. It's flatter as we get toward the end of the stage which doesn't work in his favour. 29 years without a Latvian winner at the Tour de France- this would be incredible if he could pull it off. 

It's down to eight seconds now with the group cooperating nicely. Each few hundred metres seems to equal a loss of time for the man out in front. 

Our lone leader seems to be running out of steam with the chasers closing in on his back wheel, what a dramatic finish we have in store. The Alaphilippe group also isn't too far behind. 

Catch made to Neilands, but the dream isn't dead yet. He'll be allowed to sit in and try and muster up one final sprint, but he may be completely empty. 

O'Connor attacks as he knows the sprint doesn't suit him. Bilbao is straight on him with Pedrero close behind. 

Zimmermann closes on his own as Chavez struggles to hold on. There's a brief slowing under the flamme rouge and here we go!

Bilbao looks incredibly strong and its only him and the big German at the front. 

They hesitate, they look around and it's coming back together with 400 metres left. 

Four hours of full gas racing comes down to this. 

STAGE FINISH

Pello Bilbao wins stage 10 of the 2023 Tour de France. What a ride, what a day of racing and it's all for Gino. Chapeau Bilbao. The Spaniard will also leapfrog significant spots in the overall race. There will be quite a few trees planted because of that very ride. 

Bilbao launched his sprint out of Zimmermann's wheel and the German had no response. His legs were brilliant and he couldn't have played it any better. O'Connor was third on a much better day out for the Australian. We started in his home town of Bilbao and he tried to attack the finish on stage 2, but it wasn't to be. Stage 10 was his day, however, his first-ever stage win at the Tour de France.

Bilbao is sharing a friendly chat with Pogačar and Vingegaard after one of the hardest day of the 2023 Tour de France so far in the sweltering heat of central France.

Here's what an emotional Bilbao said after winning stage 10: "We started the day full focus. Yesterday we checked the first 40 kilometres and we were expecting a hard race day after the rest day and in a critical moment I checked and we were in with five teammates in the first 20 riders so I just wanted to make the right group if it was possible with two riders. Matej [Mohorič] was attacking all the time, also Fred [Wright], Mikel [Landa], Wout [Poels], Jack [Haig]. "Everybody was trying to go, we were not just thinking in anything, just go full, full, full and at one point I saw the guys in Jumbo [Visma] needed to let one group and that was my opportunity, my chance to go. I knew that was going to be difficult before, but I just went for the right moment when everybody was on their limit and then at one point the time gap started to go down so we needed to go full in the front." "Everybody was on the limit, Neilands did an impressive attack. I think he was the strongest one, but he spent a lot of energy with the hot wind in the face. In the back group, we just collaborated in the right way and then in the last 3 kilometres, I knew that [I] was the fastest man in the group, so I just took he control, the responsibility." "I closed the gap with O'Connor first and then, with cold blood, let Zimmermann make his sprint, go on the wheel and just full the last 200 metres without thinking of nothing. And then I crossed the line and I just put out all the energy that I had inside and remembering the reason of this victory." "A special one, for Gino."

A disappointed Krists Neilands won the consolation prize of the combativity award, but it wasn't the stage win he fought so hard for over the final climb and descent. Here's what he said after the stage: "It was a really tough stage. It was hard, it was hot, but it was great to be there on the road and we did a really good race as a team and we were always there in the moves and I think we raced really good and did the maximum we could do today. It just didn't work out." "All eight riders from our team here are able to fight for the stage win from breakaways and that is how we manage it. Also, with Mike Woods' win two days ago this gave us more confidence and motivation."

If you weren't aware, Bilbao also announced pre-Tour that he would be following in the actions of his recently lost teammate Gino Mäder, by donating one Euro for every rider he beats on each stage towards efforts that replant trees in areas of deforestation. This is what Mäder did in previous Grand Tour appearances before his tragic passing at the Tour de Suisse earlier this year. A wonderful gesture that highlights the reason Bilbao was so emotional in taking this special victory. A victory for his former teammate and friend.

We had some changes in the GC today, mainly due to Bilbao's big time gain, with the Bahrain Victorious rider leapfrogging six places past both the Yates twins, Pidcock, Gaudu, Kuss and Bardet into fifth overall thanks to a 3:03 gain. They've hit the ground running after the rest day and this was the best day of the 2023 Tour de France for Bahrain after not getting much out of the first week.

The last group of our remaining 169 riders in the race have just crossed the line, seven minutes inside the 41-minute time cut on what was a brutal day from flag to flag from Vulcania to Issoire. It contained Jakobsen, Ewan and riders from their respective lead-out trains. Tomorrow should be their only chance for a while, so recovery will be key tonight.

Tomorrow's stage is one of the final chances for the sprinters before the final stage on the Champs Élysées and runs 179.8km from Clermont-Ferrand to Moulins. There are three category four climbs on the route, but the profile is far from flat and after such a brutal day in the heat today, will the sprinters teams be able to assume control and stop another break battling it out for the win?

Adam Yates in the yellow jersey at the Tour de France

Follow live updates from the Stage 2 of the  2023 Tour de France .

I'm Jack Elton-Walters and I'll be taking care of today's live coverage of Stage 2 of the Tour for Cycling Weekly.

A lumpy day that will tempt a breakaway but, I suspect, will all be back together by the end as one Yates tries to keep the yellow jersey and another Yates tries to take it off him.

A relatively early Intermediate Sprint is followed by five significant climbs throughout the rest of the stage.

The expected finish time in San Sébastián is between   17:04 and 17:31CET (16:04 - 16:31BST).

Stage 2 of the 2023 Tour de France is underway and after a few false starts, a breakaway has now gone up the road.

The breakaway is made up of current King of the Mountains Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost), veteran Tour rider Edvald Boasson Hagen (TotalEnergies) and powerhouse rider Rémi Cavagna (Soudal-Quick Step). With 184km to go they're over three minutes ahead

Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) is back in the white jersey of best young rider, already relegating his newly won National Champion's jersey back to his suitcase. His teammate Adam Yates has opted for a yellow speedsuit, while Simon Yates gets the (questionable) pleasure of wearing the new 'green' jersey on behalf of his twin.

It's all a bit formulaic at the moment: a break's gone and the GC teams are controlling the peloton. With any luck a bit of crosswind will mix things up

How far into the stage am I going to get the Yates brothers mixed up and credit the wrong one with leading the Tour? If it hasn't happened already 

Boasson Hagen takes maximum points at the Intermediate Sprint as Powless courteously dropped to the back of the trio to let him come through. Good for the cohesion of the group 

The pace has gone up in the peloton as the sprinters seek the remaining green jersey points... here we go

It was a bit scrappy but Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) has been credited with fourth place

Christope Laporte, in his domestique role at Jumbo-Visma, is making his way back through the cars. Although not laden with bottles, so perhaps it was an intelligence mission (or I missed him having a puncture)

Significant crowds out to wave the riders past, no surprise in a region that's known for its love of cycling 

Lunchtime for the peloton while the break is nearly five minutes ahead and still riding as a cooperative trio. Powless has dropped to the back with just over 4km to go to the first KOM of the day 

Powless rolls across the line first to take two points in the polka dot competition. He even celebrated 

An interesting story from Chris Marshall-Bell this morning that could have wide-ranging implications for teams and races:

WorldTour told to halve carbon emissions

That's another point for Powless, no celebration this time though. The break's advantage has dropped to 3:34 as UAE continue to drive the front of the peloton 

Wout Van Aert has brought his Jumbo team, in particular leader and defending champion Jonas Vingegaard, to the front for the next descent 

Mark Cavendish (Astana) still in touch with the peloton over the crest of the climb. Despite some early climbs, tomorrow should end in a bunch sprint: could it be a record breaking day for Cav? 

A closer look at the bikes the riders are on at this year's Tour:

The best tech spotted at the 2023 Tour de France

Victor Campenaerts (Lotto Dstny) was on the move briefly then, but the UAE-led peloton had other ideas and he's back in the bunch

Cavendish is slightly off the back on the current climb, measuring his effort perfectly no doubt, ready to get back on during the next descent 

Teammates Mikkel Bjerg and Matteo Trentin, of UAE Team Emirates, were seen having words at the front of the peloton. The pace then dropped soon afterwards, everything calmed down a bit and Cavendish got back on 

Game over for Cavagna as his previous breakaway companions go away from him up the hill. UAE are hammering it on the front of the peloton and Cavendish is once again off the back. There's also been a little off in the middle of the bunch, looks like no one even touched the ground let alone go hurt, thankfully 

Boasson Hagen and Powless are almost definitely not going to get anywhere near the finish line ahead of the peloton, but all Powless needs to do is crest the top of the current climb first to ensure another day in the spotty jersey. If he kicks on, there could be a combativity award at the end of the day for Boasson Hagen 

Plenty of sprinters now off the back of the marauding peloton, which I'll soon have to call the GC group as it thins out. Good new for Cavendish as the grupetto forms 

In the rain, Powless goes over the latest summit first, the KOM jersey safely his for at least another day. The gap to the peloton has dropped to 1:50 and is only coming down 

The breakaway duo are on the descent, which could be more difficult than it might have been due to the varying dry-damp-dry of the tarmac 

The gap has actually gone back out over two minutes as the peloton are, wisely, taking a very cautious approach to the descent, while the lead duo has a clearer run at it. Now into an urban area, there are plenty of wet road markings just waiting to catch someone out 

Matteo Trentin (UAE) has taken a tumble on a roundabout and is in need of a new bike. He's back riding but his team are not easing up at the front so his duties look to be done for the day

A puncture for British rider James Shaw who is still riding along on the front flat as his EF team car makes its way up with a new wheel

Live broadcast of the EF race radio suggests those in the car still believe that Powless and Boasson Hagen can go all the way to the finish. But the final climb might dictate otherwise 

You have to feel for Cavagna who is now being dropped by the peloton having been ejected earlier from the breakaway 

Two Lotto riders down in a crash. Vingegaard was caught up in it but didn't go down, just ended up with a front wheel puncture (which may have happened before and was the reason for his presence nearer to the back of the peloton)

As that crash was happening behind, up front Powless was dropping Boasson Hagen

Teams are driving the pace into the foot of the climb like they're riding for a bunch sprint 

Edvald Boasson Hagen has been caught by the peloton, Powless still has 1:43 over the fast-moving group

Riders are getting dropped all over the place as the GC leaders come to the fore. Powless has under a minute as he still has 6km to the top of the climb 

Rafal Majka has splintered the group and, with 19.2km to the end and 2.6km to the summit, he passes Powless and ends the breakaway

Thibaut Pinot dropped 

Yates (A) moving to the front 

First over the summit will get an eight second bonus

Vingegaard and Pogacar fight for the summit: the latter gets it and takes eight seconds to the former's five seconds. Now the pair of them are clear: will they ride on?

Pogacar and Vingegaard still ahead as they make their way down the descent but a group will soon join them

Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious) is trying to go clear on the descent but Van Aert is keeping him in sight, for now at least 

Bilbao still ahead but the road has flattened out and he'll have a task staying clear of the combined power behind

Bilbao caught with 5.4km to go and Van Aert is tightening his shoes

4km to go, the leadout looks to be forming for Van Aert while his rivals jostle for his wheel 

Attack by Tom Pidcock (Ineos)! Van Aert is alive to it

Attack after attack and it always seems to be Van Aert who closes it down.

1km to go and Victor Lafay attacks

250m to go and Lafay is still clear

He's done it! What a brilliantly timed attack: Victor Lafay wins Stage 2 of the 2023 Tour de France

Wout van Aert did not look happy to have had his pocket picked at the last, which is understandable

Here's a longer report from today's stage:

Victor Lafay wins Stage 2 thanks to a brilliantly timed attack

Today's top 10: 1. Victor Lafay (Cofidis) in 4:46:39 2. Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) 3. Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) 4. Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) 5. Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious) 6.

Overall top 10 after today's stage: 1. Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) in 9:09:18 2. Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), at 00:06 3. Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla), at same time 4.

Tour de France – 17. etape

tv2 tour de france live update

Hvad skete der? Felix Gall vandt 17. etape af Tour de France, hvor Jonas Vingegaard tog næsten seks minutter på Tadej Pogacar.

Vingegaard fører nu det samlede klassement med 7'35" til sloveneren.

Mads P. hjalp holdkammerat

Mads Pedersen endte som nummer 146 på dagens etape. Det var dog ikke på grund af dårlige ben, men fordi han skulle hjælpe sin leadout-mand, der var i problemer.

- Alex Kirsch havde ikke en god dag, men jeg har brug for ham i morgen og i Paris. Så jeg blev hos ham og kæmpede med Alex. Jeg er glad for, at han blev ved med at kæmpe, og han stadigvæk er her endnu. Det er vigtigt for resten af løbet, siger Mads Pedersen til TV 2 Sport.

Han kan meget vel vise sig at blive vigtig til torsdagens 18. etape.

Vingegaard slår Pogacar-rekord

Tadej Pogacar var Strava-rekordholder på de sidste syv kilometer af Col de la Loze, der stiger med 9,2 procent i snit. Sloveneren satte den daværende rekord på 17. etape i Tour de France 2020. Og jeg skriver "daværende".

For på 17. etape onsdag satte Vingegaard en ny rekord på den stejle del af stigningen, da danskeren kørte den på 22'03". Dermed barberede Vingegaard over ét minut af Pogacars tidligere rekord, der lød på 23'18". Dét skriver NTT Data til TV 2 Sport.

Felix Gall, der vandt etapen, kørte den stejle del af Col de la Loze på 23'07", hvilket så faktisk også var hurtigere end Pogacars tid.

Nu er touren jo reelt afgjort? Tror i Jonas kommer til, at kører efter bjergtrøjen, som bonus eller er han fuldkommen ligeglad med den? Mon ikke vi vil se ham gå efter 20. Etape, som krone på værket?

Jeg tror faktisk ikke, at Vingegaard skænker bjergtrøjen det store. Han ved også, at det nok bliver enten Felix Gall eller Giulio Ciccone, der tager den, fordi der skal jagtes point på 20. etape, hvor Vingegaard nok bare vil have fokus på at komme sikkert igennem :-). Men man ved aldrig.

// Rasmus, TV 2 Sport

Se Mads Pedersens sjove reaktion på Vingegaards triumf her:

Mads P’s ansigtsudtryk da han hørte Jonas’s tidsgevinst idag sagde det hele. Kan vi se det igen?

Ja, det var genialt. Jeg smider lige en video ind i næste opslag. Godt input ;-).

Stjerne blev stoppet som Vingegaard: - Det var skamfuldt

Ligesom Jonas Vingegaard oplevede Thibaut Pinot at blive stoppet på vej op ad Col de la Loze. Efterfølgende har han sat ord på situationen.

- Det, der chokerede mig mest, var, at ræset stoppede på grund af motorcyklerne og bilen. En motorcykel kunne være faldet ned over mig. Det var skamfuldt, siger Pinot, der kom ind på etapen som nummer 11, ifølge RMC Sport .

- Jeg var fanget i 30 sekunder. Det var noget møg. Vi lader bilerne passere, når der er 15 sekunder mellem grupperne ... Der er ting, jeg ikke forstår.

Se episoden under her i en Twitter-video , som The Col Collective har delt:

. @ThibautPinot stopped on Loze by moto carnage 😭 @LeTour @GroupamaFDJ #TourdeFrance 🎥 @cottydale pic.twitter.com/EqDTxCnFcJ — The Col Collective (@colcollective) July 19, 2023

Hør Pogacar sætte nogle ord på nedsmeltningen:

Rolf sørensen havde ikke troet på den nuværende situation.

- Jeg havde ikke troet det.

Sådan siger Rolf Sørensen om det store forspring, Jonas Vingegaard nu har fået – 7'35" til Tadej Pogacar.

For få dage siden snakkede Sørensen og de andre eksperter om, at det ville blive afgjort til allersidst, og at ikke meget ville adskille de to kombattanter.

Nu er situationen i den grad ændret.

Simon Geschke klarer tidsgrænsen med mindre end halvandet minut:

Hvor er Mørkøv blevet af i dag?

Mørkøv kom i mål som nummer 145 på dagens etape – 41'49" efter etapevinder Felix Gall.

Ingen røg for tidsgrænsen i dag. Simon Geschke kom over som sidste mand mindre end halvandet minut før tidsgrænsen :-).

Skjelmose efter etapen:

Med jeres jagt på bjergpoint for Ciccone?

- Det gik bedre end forventet. Vi tog alle pointene (inden Col de la Loze, red.), og Jonas (Vingegaard, red.) tog ikke maksimumpoint på toppen, så det kunne ikke være gået bedre, siger Skjelmose til TV 2 Sport.

Hvordan havde du det derude i dag?

- Jeg havde det faktisk rigtig godt. Jeg synes, at vi kører rigtig flot som hold. Det var en lidt kedelig stigning til sidst, men ellers var det en fed dag.

Vingegaard tager godt seks minutter på Pogacar. Hvad siger du til det?

- Jeg kunne godt høre det. Det er imponerende.

- Det er bare sindssyg godt. Det viser bare, hvor godt han har forberedt sig. Jeg håber ikke, at Pogacar er ved at blive syg eller andet. Men uanset hvad er det chapeau til Jonas, siger Skjelmose.

Se Pogacars kollaps fra etapen, og slovenerens hårde kamp mod målstregen, her:

Se vingegaards interview efter etapen:, mikael sloth:.

Hej. Var der nogle der faldt for tidsgrænsen i dag?

Nej, alle klarede den. Simon Geschke kom ind som sidste mand, da der var under halvandet minut til tidsgrænsen. Så han klarede den med nød og næppe :-).

Se flere højdepunkter fra etapen her:

- du har vundet touren i dag.

- Kør dit eget tempo. Det betyder ikke noget mere. Du har vundet Touren i dag.

Sådan lød meldingen fra Jumbo-Visma-sportsdirektør Grischa Niermann mod slutningen af dagens etape.

Dét fortæller lyden fra holdets radio.

Se højdepunkter fra dagens etape her:

Merijn zeeman efter dagens etape.

Merijn Zeeman, sportsdirektør hos Jumbo-Visma, er lykkelig efter triumfen. Alligevel føler han med Tadej Pogacar.

- Det er trist at se ham bryde sammen på denne måde, men i kampens hede er det fedt for os, siger Zeeman ifølge Wielerflits .

- Det er lidt blandet (følelsen, red.). Han krakelerer i dag, så jeg synes ikke, det er fedt at juble over dét. Vi har meget respekt for ham som modstander, og han er en fremragende cyklist.

Vingegaard i lykkelig stund med familien efter triumfen

tv2 tour de france live update

- Jeg har ingen ord, siger holdkammerat

Jonas Vingegaards holdkammerat Tiesj Benoot, der undervejs hjalp Vingegaard i angrebet, har reageret på den store triumf efter etapen.

- Det handlede om, at han (Jonas, red.) skulle holde sig på cyklen i dag. Den plan, vi lagde for nedkørslen, fungerede i dag. Det er utroligt, jeg har ingen ord, siger Benoot til flere medier – heriblandt TV 2 Sport.

2024 Tour of Flanders riders to watch

Men's race - 2024 riders to watch.

A mass crash during the Dwars door Vlaanderen on Wednesday ruled out some of his biggest contenders, including Wout van Aert, who suffered fractured collarbone and ribs. Defending champion Tadej Pogacar decided to skip the Ronde this year to focus on the preparation of the Giro d'Italia. The big names who will be competing are:

  • Mathieu van der Poel (NED/Alpecin Deceuninck): The two-time winner (2020, 2022) is considered the undisputed favourite after dominating the E3 Saxo Classic and finishing second at last week's Gent-Wevelgem, and with archrival van Aert not competing.
  • Matteo Jorgenson (USA/Team Visma | Lease a Bike): The American rider is expected to lead his team following his win at the Dwars door Vlaanderen and the injuries carried by both Tiesji Benoot and Jan Tratnik. This season he also claimed the general classification at the Paris-Nice.
  • Alberto Bettiol: The Italian is a former winner of the Ronde and, despite suffering from cramps at the recent Dwars door Vlaanderen, has demonstrated a good form by winning the Milano-Torino and finishing fifth at the Milan-San Remo.

Six presumed dead after cargo ship crash levels Baltimore bridge

BALTIMORE — A major Baltimore bridge collapsed like a house of cards early Tuesday after it was struck by a container ship, sending six people to their deaths in the dark waters below, and closing one of the country’s busiest ports.

By nightfall, the desperate search for six people who were working on the bridge and vanished when it fell apart had become a grim search for bodies.

“We do not believe that we’re going to find any of these individuals still alive,” Coast Guard Rear Admiral Shannon N. Gilreath said.

Jeffrey Pritzker, executive vice president of Brawner Builders, said earlier that one of his workers had survived. He did not release their names.

Up until then, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore had held out hope that the missing people might be found even as law enforcement warned that the frigid water and the fact that there had been no sign of them since 1:30 a.m. when the ship struck Francis Scott Key Bridge.

Moore expressed heartbreak after officials suspended the search for survivors.

"Our heart goes out to the families," he said. "I can’t imagine how painful today has been for these families, how painful these hours have been have been for these families."

It was a crushing blow to the loved ones of the missing men, who had waited for hours at a Royal Farms convenience store near the entrance of the bridge for word of their fate.

The tragic chain of events began early Tuesday when the cargo ship Dali notified authorities that it had lost power and issued a mayday moments before the 984-foot vessel slammed into a bridge support at a speed of 8 knots, which is about 9 mph.

Moore declared a state of emergency while rescue crews using sonar detected at least five vehicles in the frigid 50-foot-deep water: three passenger cars, a cement truck and another vehicle of some kind. Authorities do not believe anyone was inside the vehicles.

Investigators quickly concluded that it was an accident and not an act of terrorism.

Ship was involved in another collision

Earlier, two people were rescued from the water, Baltimore Fire Chief James Wallace said. One was in good condition and refused treatment, he said. The other was seriously injured and was being treated in a trauma center.

Moore said other drivers might have been in the water had it not been for those who, upon hearing the mayday, blocked off the bridge and kept other vehicles from crossing.

“These people are heroes,” Moore said. “They saved lives.”

Nearly eight years ago, the Dali was involved in an accident. In July 2016, it struck a quay at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium, damaging the quay.

The nautical commission investigated the accident, but the details of the inquiry were not immediately clear Tuesday.

The Dali is operated and managed by Synergy Group. In a statement, the company said that two port pilots were at the helm during Tuesday's crash and that all 22 crew members onboard were accounted for.

The Dali was chartered by the Danish shipping giant Maersk, which said it would have no choice but to send its ships to other nearby ports with the Port of Baltimore closed.

The bridge, which is about a mile and a half long and carries Interstate 695 over the Patapsco River southeast of Baltimore, was "fully up to code," Moore said.

National Transportation Safety Board Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said that her agency will lead the investigation and that a data recorder on the ship could provide more information.

"But right now we're focusing on the people, on the families," she said. "The rest can wait."

President Joe Biden vowed to rebuild the bridge and send federal funds.

"This is going to take some time," the president warned. "The people of Baltimore can count on us though to stick with them, at every step of the way, till the port is reopened and the bridge is rebuilt."

Speaking in Baltimore, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg echoed the president's promise.

"This is no ordinary bridge," he said. "This is one of the cathedrals of American infrastructure."

But Buttigieg warned that replacing the bridge and reopening the port will take time and money and that it could affect supply chains.

The Port of Baltimore, the 11th largest in the U.S., is the busiest port for car imports and exports, handling more than 750,000 vehicles in 2023 alone, according to data from the Maryland Port Administration.

Writer David Simon, a champion of Baltimore who set his TV crime drama "The Wire" on the streets of the city he once covered as a reporter, warned online that the people who will suffer the most are those whose livelihoods depend on the port.

"Thinking first of the people on the bridge," Simon posted on X . "But the mind wanders to a port city strangling. All the people who rely on ships in and out."

Timeline of crash

Dramatic video captured the moment at 1:28 a.m. Tuesday when the Dali struck a support and sent the bridge tumbling into the water. A livestream showed cars and trucks on the bridge just before the strike. The ship did not sink, and its lights remained on.

Investigators said in a timeline that the Dali's lights suddenly shut off four minutes earlier before they came back on and that then, at 1:25 a.m. dark black smoke began billowing from the ship's chimney.

A minute later, at 1:26 a.m., the ship appeared to turn. And in the minutes before it slammed into the support, the lights flickered again.

Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld said the workers on the bridge were repairing concrete ducts when the ship crashed into the structure.

At least seven workers were pouring concrete to fix potholes on the roadway on the bridge directly above where the ship hit, said James Krutzfeldt, a foreman.

Earlier, the Coast Guard said it had received a report that a “motor vessel made impact with the bridge” and confirmed it was the Dali, a containership sailing under a Singaporean flag that was heading for Sri Lanka.

Bobby Haines, who lives in Dundalk in Baltimore County, said he felt the impact of the bridge collapse from his house nearby.

"I woke up at 1:30 this morning and my house shook, and I was freaking out," he said. "I thought it was an earthquake, and to find out it was a bridge is really, really scary."

Families of bridge workers wait for updates

Earlier in the day, relatives of the construction crew waited for updates on their loved ones.

Marian Del Carmen Castellon told Telemundo her husband, Miguel Luna, 49, was working on the bridge.

“They only tell us that we have to wait and that they can’t give us information,” she said.

Castellon said she was "devastated, devastated because our heart is broken, because we don’t know how they have been rescued yet. We are just waiting for the news."

Luna's co-worker Jesús Campos said he felt crushed, too.

“It hurts my heart to see what is happening. We are human beings, and they are my folks,” he said.

Campos told The Baltimore Banner that the missing men are from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico.

Active search and rescue ends

The Coast Guard said it was suspending the active search-and-rescue effort at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

"Coast Guard’s not going away, none of our partners are going away, but we’re just going to transition into a different phase," Gilreath said at a news conference.

Maryland State Police Superintendent Roland L. Butler, Jr., said it was moving to a recovery operation. Changing conditions have made it dangerous for divers, he said. 

Butler pledged to "do our very best to recover those six missing people," but the conditions are difficult.

"If we look at how challenging it is at a simple motor vehicle crash to extract an individual, I'm sure we can all imagine how much harder it is to do it in inclement weather, when it's cold, under the water, with very limited to no visibility," he said.

"There's a tremendous amount of debris in the water," which can include sharp metal and other hazards, and that could take time, Butler said.

'A long road in front of us'

Built in 1977 and referred to locally as the Key Bridge, the structure was later named after the author of the American national anthem.

The bridge is more than 8,500 feet long, or 1.6 miles. Its main section spans 1,200 feet, and it was one of the longest continuous truss bridges in the world upon its completion, according to the National Steel Bridge Alliance .

About 31,000 vehicles a day use the bridge, which equals 11.3 million vehicles per year, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority.

The river and the Port of Baltimore are both key to the shipping industry on the East Coast, generating more than $3.3 billion a year and directly employing more than 15,000 people.

Asked what people in Baltimore can expect going forward, the state's transportation secretary said it is too early to tell.

"Obviously we reached out to a number of engineering companies, so obviously we have a long road in front of us," Wiedefeld said.
