Making a Bee Line to the Finish! TdF26-120
Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek) was setting an amazing pace around the course on the French side of Lake Geneva! He set new best times at each time check out on course. He was still building speed through the straight flat roads towards the end of the twenty-six-kilometer course making a bee line for the finish in Thonon les Bains. He was the new best time when he finished as well. However, he dropped to third by the time the last guy crossed the line. Still, it was a brilliant ride for the Dane and helped keep his team in the lead of the team race. I was surprised that while Lidl-Trek still had their yellow bib numbers of team leaders, they had opted for white helmets today. I guess no one had gotten them new yellow aero helmets for the individual time trial.
