Still Not Established TdF26-104
Despite the stage starting with a big climb after a very early intermediate sprint even at 117 kilometers to go of a 184-kilometer stage the breakaway was still not established. This group of six have only built a sixteen second advantage over the peloton. Michael Matthews (Jayco-Alula) reached out to grab a bidon from the Shimano Neutral Service Moto. The sprinter on the Australian team has managed to team up with Xabier Mikel Azparren (Pinarello-Q36.5), Tobias Johannessen (Uno X-Mobility) and his teammate Anders Skaarseth, as well as Tim Van Dijke (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe). There is somebody on the front from Cofidis, but this group never even had their names displayed on the screen. It wasn't very long before they were absorbed by the peloton.
