It looked like the American Sean Bennett (Qhubeka-NextHash) was doffing his hat (helmet) to the motorcycles who was there to pass out water bottles. Instead he was getting some bug out of his helmet, hopefully not a bee. Bennett was in the early break of the day along with Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies) and the Israeli Omer Goldstein (Israel Start Up Nation). With 180 kilometers to race and only a couple of minutes back to the peloton it was unlikely they would have the same success the break had yesterday. Still nothing ventured nothing gained. None of these guys were going to out sprint the big sprinters in the Tour so why not give it a shot?
