Surrendering FW17-3
As the kilometer rolled along, and the peloton came ever closer, the riders in the break began to surrender to the inevitable catch. Daniel Pearson (Aqua Blue) with Nils Politt (Katusha-Alpecin) tucked onto his wheel, peered back over his shoulder to see the Lotto Soudal led peloton breathing down his neck. The pair had been off the front of the peloton for almost two hundred kilometers, so there was no shame in the capture.
