He is riding at a much slower pace, and many more hours per day, than the Tour de France cyclists.

He's also riding the transfers between stage start and end points. Sometimes there can be 100 miles or more between where one stage ends and the next one begins. This largely happens when the race moves from mountain racing to flatter courses.

The competitors take a team bus.
