Take Mine and Go! TdFF25-48
Nienke Vinke (Picnic-PostNL) had a scare as the peloton rode across the valley floor before the final climb of the day. Her team car was way back down the road when she got a flat tire. Fortunately (and strategically) her teammate the American Megan Jastrab was right there. The pair acted quickly with Jastrab giving her by to the Maillot Blanc and giving her a push to get going. Jastrab then waited for the team car and got her spare bike. Seemingly twenty minutes later, the Picnic-PostNL car was able to get up to the youngster and get her onto her own spare bike. It was all worth the effort rather than lose time, the current best young rider was able to increase her advantage to over eight minutes today, due in part to her teammates quick thinking... and some excellent legs today.
