The Tour is a little over 100mi/day, up to 6hr /day.
This Alt Tour was 200mi/day, 12hr/day
You'd need more precise bookkeeping to calculate how impressive his speed was, but his endurance is incredible.
A confounding factor is that at high speeds going a little faster takes a bunch more energy/biological resources (both wind and biomuscular effects), which counteracts some of the peloton advantage.
