Some Big Names Out Front PN25-30
It was a large group of fifteen riders that got off of the front of the peloton today. It was a shorten stage due to the foul weather. With only 110 kilometers to race, these guys building an over three-minute lead on the peloton containing the Maillot Jaune was significant. To names that I was surprised to see let lose were Julian Alaphilippe (Tudor Pro Cycling) and Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost). The former was here riding for his teammate Michael Storer, but Powless was hoping to make up for suffering so much in the cold these past two stages. Joining these two are Josh Tarling (Ineos-Grenadiers), Fred Wrightk (Bahrain-Victorious) and Bruno Armirail (Decathlon-Ag2r-La Mondiale) amongst others. With just thirteen kilometers of climbing left, it was looking likely that one of these fifteen would be vying for stage honors in the Queen Stage of Paris Nice.
