Three Chasing Three TdF23-68
After innumerable attempts, riders were finally able to get off the front of the peloton over the summit of Col des Ecorbans. With three up the road, Ion Izagirre (Cofidis), Matteo Jorgenson (Movistar) and Andrey Amador (EF Education-EasyPost) started collaborating on the descent to try and catch back up to the leaders. They only needed to bridge eleven seconds, but it seemed to be just as hard to catch the other three as it had been to get away from the peloton. It wasn't helping them that one of the guys up the road was an extremely skilled descender.
