Just Getting Back CD21-2
The American Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates) seemed to have a mechanical off camera. The first time we saw him from the helicopter shot, he was chasing back to the peloton through the caravan of team cars. With just 17 kilometers (and two categorized climbs) to go, he just had to get around the race director's car to re-attach to the tail of the peloton. Apparently the chase back cost him too much energy, as the road went up again, he dropped off the tail of the group after all of the effort to catch back on. Bike racing is hard and can be cruel when passing out the luck for the day.
