Any Way He Can
I found this piece of video on twitter of another one of the German riders attempting to make the best of a bad situation. He apparently had a mechanical at the bottom of the cobbled climb of Libbie Hill. A rider must have his (or her) bicycle with them to advance on the course, so rather than waste time standing on the side of the road awaiting neutral service, he shouldered his machine and ran up the hill. I guess he figured the service mechanics would get to him eventually. His progress was monitored by the race marshal clad in red leather and astride a motorcycle.
For the record Felix Gall (Austria) took first followed by Clement Betouigt-Suire (France) and Rasmus Pedersen (Denmark) rounded out the podium.
