Positioning Himself. PN23-11
Jonas Gregaard (Uno-X) had managed to get himself into the break away yet again. He as making sure he would have a chance to go for the maximum points to add to his King of the Mountain points on at least the next two climbs. Just ahead of the Maillot a Pois was Maurice Ballerstedt (Alpecin-Deceuninck). Off to the side is the American in the break away Larry Warbasse (Ag2r-Citroen) apparently sliding to the back of the seven man break having done his turn on the front. With 51 kilometers to race they had four minutes on the peloton, but the group behind was closing fast as they approached this base of the climb.
