Going It Alone TdF26-31

I am quite sure Baptiste Veistoffer (Lotto-Intermarche) had hoped someone would come with him when he jumped out of the peloton at kilometer Zero. Alas, no one did. He had no real option but to press on after no one bridge up to him. He has gone on a solo attack for a complete stage, and won, in a race before. But this is the Tour de France and this stage was one for the sprinters. I doubt they will let him pull that off today. Spoiler: They didn't. He was caught with about seventeen kilometers left to race, meaning he had ridden on his own for roughly a hundred miles. Chapeau!
