In previous years, top cyclists have even reached a top speed of more than 100 km/h in the long downhill sections of the Tour de France. Cyclists did not go nearly as fast in front of the speed camera in question.
The top speeds of the cyclists of the Tour of France are around 40 km/h. The camera was preceded by a downhill, so it is likely that the speed has been slightly faster than the average speed.
