Limiting His Loses TdF24-19
Yesterday due to a little cheeky sprint at the end of the stage, Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) became the first Ecuadorian to ever pull on a Maillot Jaune in the Tour de France. Today, it seemed that the Col du Galibier proved to much for him and his legs. With another three kilometers to climb he had lost sight of the peloton, in fact that is the team car of Ineos-Grenadiers passing him and his teammate Ben Healy who had dropped back to help him limit his losses in the general classification. In the final twenty-two kilometers, he lost five and a half minutes to the new yellow jersey dropping to twenty-second overall. Clearly, not the outcome he nor the team had hoped for.
