Facing the Inevitable TDF20-63
After 112 kilometers alone of the front, it may have been with a bit of relief that Matthieu Ladagnus (Groupama-FDJ) looked behind and saw the peloton. He knew he would eventually be caught, but he is one of those riders who can't win a mountain stage, nor a sprint stage, so his chance (no matter how slim) lies in the break away. One thing is sure, regardless how slim his chances were to go solo they were still infinitely better than had he stayed in the peloton. He had little hope of beating the marquee sprinters of this Tour de France.
