Out of Nowhere TdF25-11
With just over six hundred meters to the line, Julian Alaphilippe (Tudor) seemed to pop out of nowhere to challenge for stage honors. He was chased by Mathieu Van Der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Oscar Onley (Picnic-PostNL). Never to miss an opportunity, Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) kept everyone in sight, and in striking distance, as the peloton prepare to sprint for a stage victory. While the stage didn't go to Alaphilippe he did take fifth on the day with Onley taking sixth. More about the others in the next painting.
