Yeah, but that includes mountain stages. Take out the mountains and you're looking at 28-29. Pretty good. Some days are over 30. I'd say that's great.
Or you can just look at the time trial stages. Those are more indicative being solo efforts. . Some guys dog those a bit for additional recovery, but again, lots of 30+. Pretty great average speeds.
