Sprinting Across the Gap TdF25-68
Realizing that there was a good chance that the breakaway was going to succeed in vying for the stage victory today, Mathieu Burgaudeau (TotalEnergies) and Fred Wright (Bahrain-Victorious) sprinted across the gap to join those up front. It was the right move. The peloton was close, but they continued to lose a second here, and a second there on the breakaway that went from kilometer zero. Behind the duo, the neutral support motorcycle provided by Shimano is ever ready to provide mechanical assistance should it be needed.
