We’ve Got a Gap. TDU24-9
Once the first attempt at a an escape was reeled back in, it was the American Champion, Quinn Simmons (Lidl-Trek) went on the offensive. He was joined by Bastien Tronchon in the new kit of Decathlon-Ag2r-Mondiale. I must admit that I already miss the brown shorts. Much to Simmons’ frustration, Tronchon seemed unwilling to help in the escape, perhaps fearing the closing speed of the guy in the Stars and Stripes. With four kilometers to go, the peloton was a mere 50 meters behind them, so without cooperation their efforts would likely be in vain.
