Riding Mad TDF20-38
Given the way Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quick Step) was riding, I think he was still mad about being given a 20 second time penalty, a penalty that took away his Yellow Jersey. After the lead group turned for the last twenty five miles to the finish, Team Ineos-Grenadiers hit the front and drove the pace up again. They split the field of some of the GC contenders. Once that happened, Alaphilippe was only too happy to help push the pace. Behind him, sharing the work load was Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos-Grenadiers) and Alberto Bettiol (EF Pro Cycling). Other teams, including Jumbo-Visma and Astana were only to happy to help in the effort of leaving other behind.
