Tour de France press conferences on days like stage 10 are pretty strange affairs. There was very little to talk about, with there being no breakaway, no moments of danger, only a routine bunch sprint which resulted in Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) winning.
It was, in truth, a boring day in the middle of France - kilometres from the actual, proper middle of metropolitan France - even Philipsen himself acknowledged this, joking that perhaps it was a stage to sleep through.
