We Did What We Could TDF21-80
After being off the front for 150 kilometers, Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies) shook hands with Omer Goldstein (Israel Start Up Nation) as the peloton came into view. The two knew it was a long shot (pun intended) but they felt compelled to give it a go. It is a little unusual for the peloton to make the catch with another 53 kilometers to race. Normally, the sprinters' teams will leave it to later so no one will think they can get the jump and go alone to the line. Deceuninck-Quick Step wasn't going to let anyone stop Mark Cavendish from having a chance to tie the record of most career wins in the Tour de France.
