The Usual Suspects TdF26-48

I'm hoping you get the famous line from Casablanca that this title is referencing. Or is my age showing, again. Today's intermediate sprint in Landrias was for third best since the two-man break was still up the road. It was the usual group of sprinters that we have seen most every stage vying for the most sprint points still up for grabs. Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) added to his advantage and ensure that he would continue to wear the Maillot Vert even if he scores no points in Bordeaux at the end of the day. He was followed across the line in turn by Biniam Girmay (NSN Cycling), Max Kanter (XDS Astana) and Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Premier Tech). I admit that until this Tour I had never heard of Kanter, but he continues to impress me. I wouldn't be surprised to see him take a stage in the near future. Of course, my heart is pulling for Girmay. Yes, I do have my favorites. Admit it, you do, too.
