Faster (and longer) than the Cipo-winning Tour stage everyone always goes on about.

I guess it's the fastest GT road stage ever?

Philippe Gilbert (Deceuninck-Quick Step) won stage 17 with an average speed of 50.628km/h over 219.6km.
He is the new holder of the “Ruban Jaune” (Yellow Ribbon), a trophy created in 1936 by Henri Desgrange, the first organiser of the Tour de France, for the rider recording the average speed in a race longer than 200km. The previous holder was Matteo Trentin, who had won Paris-Tours at 49.641km/h (231km) in 2015.
