Opening a Up a Gap TdFF22-10
After bridging up to the lone escapeof Maike Van Der Duin (Le Col-Wahoo) the world champion Elisa Balsamo (Trek-Segafredo) turns round to see who had come with her. The answer was Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma) and others. More on that later. The group quickly built up and advantage on the peloton that contained the Maillot Jaune, the Maillot Vert, and the Maillot a Pois. The Maillot Blanc was looking over at the Rainbow Jersey. I suspect that Van Der Duin was a bit awed to be joined by both Balsamo and Vos. The rider back there from BikeExchange-Jayco never did make it across the divide.
