Hello, Guys!
It was Hugo Hofstetter (Cofidis) who was the first to drop back from the early break. He is looking back over his shoulder as the Lotto Soudal and Trek-Segafredo lead peloton comes up from behind. At this point the riders had cover most of the short steep and oft cobbled climbs of the day and it was now time to get down to putting the favored riders into position. The first step in that process would be to gather up all of the early break away. They can now tick one off of that number.
