On His Own PN25-31
After a very hard pull by his teammate Julian Alaphilippe (Tudor Pro Cycling) pulled off the front of the breakaway, it was Michael Storer's chance to lay a hard attack. Once inside the final two kilometers, Storer looked back across the snow-covered corner to make sure no one was bridging back up to him. Since there is no racing descent off of this climb, the organizers weren't worry that it may well start snowing again. As he peered back, he wouldn't have seen any of the main chase group, he has almost a minute and a half on them. I was struck by his choice to just wear a speed suit for this final ascent up to the Auron ski slopes.
