Why Not? TdF25-5
As the peloton neared the top of the final climb of the day, there was no one off the front of the race. It looked odd, but Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) saw the opportunity to gain a single point in the race for the King of the Mountains title. He was followed by his teammate Matteo Jorgenson. They team saw an opportunity to push the pace on the descent. As they hit the base and the cross winds, they continued with the help of Alpecin-Deceuninck and UAE Team Emirates. The result was they blew the peloton apart dropping both a couple of general classification hopefuls as well as some sprinters. The early stages of the Tour are always referred to as the stages where you can't win the Tour, but you can definitely lose it.
