Jumping the Break TdF23-78
With the break away unlikely to stay away until the summit of the Grand Colombier, those in the front group needed to get what prizes they could. At least that seemed to be the thinking of Mike Teunissen (Intermache-Circus-Wanty). While it appeared that Anthon Charming (Uno-X), Matej Mohoric (Bahrian-Victorious), and the rest of the large group of escapees, were happy to just roll through the intermediate sprint in Hauteville Lompnes, Teunisson went for the maximum points and prize. He wasn't really challenged, but I guess it made him feel good to be on today's results list.
