Inside of Two Kilometers TdF26-56

After going under the two kilometers banner Liam Stock (Lotto-Intermarche) looked back to see the peloton rounding the corner a mere ten seconds behind him. The conventional theory is that the breakaway needs a minute's advantage for every ten kilometers left to race. By that formula, Stock is right on the very edge of being able to make it to the finish line in Bergerac before being caught by the peloton. Even before he got to the final kilometer flame rouge, he knew the catch was nigh and sat up in surrender to the inevitable. The catch translates to him having been off the front for 179 kilometers of an 180-kilometer stage.
