Drawing the Sting TDF20-64
The title is another one of Phil Liggett's phrases and to be honest, I don't really understand what it means. I think the idea is that if a teammate of the guy who is suppose to sprint for the win, goes early, the lead out trains of his rivals will tire themselves chasing him down. If you have a better understanding, please let me know. Lukas Postleburger (Bora-Hansgrohe) went off the front, it was unlikely he would take the stage, but it did force the lead out men of the Maillot Vert, Sam Bennett (Deceuninck-Quick Step), Bob Jungels and Jasper Asgreen to sprint after the Austrian. The trio of fox and hounds had just five kilometers to the finish in Portiers.
