What Are We Thinking? TdF26-80
Baptiste Veistroffer (Lotto-Intermarche) was trying to discover what is fellow members of the breakaway were talking about. The two up front, Damiano Caruso (Bahrain-Victorious) and Matteo Vercher (TotalEnergies) seemed to be laying plans with sixty-three kilometers to race. Ewen Costiou (Groupama FDJ-United) was eavesdropping hoping to find out whether they were going to attack, or just what they were up to. I wonder whether the conversation was in Italian or French. Although it does seem like the drop back language that most everyone knows is English. With just thirty-eight seconds on the peloton, the decision that was reached was to sit up and wait for the peloton. Well, at least that is what Caruso and Vercher did. The other two Frenchmen, Veistroffer and Costiou pressed on with their efforts.
