It Counts this Time VA25-10
This time when Jordi Meeus (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) outsprinted the peloton, it counted. Behind him was Alberto Dainese (Tudor Cycling) followed by Biniam Girmay (Intermache-Wanty) and the Belgium Champion Arnaud De Lie (Lotto). While I didn't see a problem, Dainese was relegated so Girmay and De Lie moved up a step on the stage podium. With his win today Meeus moves into the Green Jersey of the points leader. Plus, I'm thrilled to see Girmay back at the pointy end of a stage after his brilliant 2024 Tour de France.
