Catch Him, Try to Drop Them All TdF23-60
Ben O'Connor (Ag2r-Citroen) has come out of the rest day a new rider. He admits that his first nine days of the Tour were awful, but today he was on fire. He bridged up to the leaders on the road being the one who pulled back the lone escapee, Krists Neilands (Israel-Premier Tech). As they got inside of the final two kilometers to go in the city of Issoire, he went hard to drop Esteban Chaves (EF Education-EasyPost), Georg Zimmermann (Intermache-Circus-Wanty) and Neilands. He opened a bit of a gap, hoping that he wouldn't be forced to sprint against those he was trying to be rid of.
