Was It Worth It? - OHN21-2
That is the question that Jonas Rutsch (EF Education-Nippo) had to be asking himself as the peloton chased him down on the pave of Haleweg. The young German had gone off in an attempt to bridge up to the five man break, but just couldn't get onto the wheels of the escapees. He spent a lot of energy in what proved to be a failed attempt to establish an ally up the road for his team leader. With 52 kilometers left to the finish, he now may be wondering if he will be able to stay with the group on the bergs and paves yet to come.
