One for the Road TdFF24-22
Loes Adegeest (FDJ-Suez) went off the front of the peloton on her own. As she built up a seventeen second lead on the peloton she found one of her soigneurs waiting to pass her a bidon. The bidon most likely had a gel attached to give her some extra energy for the task ahead. She has another 76 kilometers to race yet. I believe she is exactly halfway through the stage. I'm sure she is hoping that some others will come join her in the effort. Holding her off the peloton for the next two and a half hours on her own is a rather tall order. However, it should be noted that she led the time trial for almost the entire day until the final ten riders came home to knock her out of the hot seat. It is clear from that she can ride well on her own.
