Section After Section
As the peloton neared the end of the longest stage of the 102nd Tour de France, the sections of pave came fast and furious with this one being one of the longest of the seven. Each team took there turn at trying to drive the pace, hopefully leaving their competitors, literally, in the dust. At this point on Section 3, it was Thomas Leezer (LottoNL Jumbo) on the front dishing out the pain to those in his wake of dust. It seems particularly cruel that the longest stage of the Tour was combined with the cobbles of Northern France.
