Watching Everyone CdD25-4
Using the final ascent of the Cote de Buffon Jonas Buitrago (Visma-Lease a Bike) jump cleared of the peloton. It was Mathieu Van Der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) was able to go with the Dane, but the trio of Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates), Remco Evenpoel (Soudal-Quick Step) and Santiago Buitago (Bahrain-Victorious) quickly joined the leading duo. The quintet had opened a small gap on the rest of the peloton. They still had the small problem of chasing down Fred Wright (Bahrain-Victorious). That may be why Buitago wasn't offering to help in the other four's efforts. With just six kilometers to race, it was looking good for Van Der Poel who is the only sprinter in the group.
