Holding Off the Peloton TdF26-55

Liam Stock (Lotto-Intermarche) had been attacked on the climb of the Cote du Buissen de Cadovia. He countered and dropped his attacker over the summit. Once he was free of his erstwhile companions he decided to see if he could get the surprise on the sprint team led peloton. At seventeen kilometers to race he still had a minute and twenty-one seconds on those behind. Of course, those off the front tend to have quite a caravan of race official vehicles, his team car, and a neutral service car as well. With over a minute to the chasers all these vehicles were still allowed to be behind the leader on the stage. Once it drops below a minute, everyone except a neutral service moto and perhaps a TV moto are allowed in the gap.
