One More Peek TdF26-131
After three categorized climbs and just shy of one hundred and forty kilometers, Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) was finally able to sprint for the maximum sprint points on offer in Corps. As he did his almost token sprint, he looked back one more time to make sure no one would dare challenge him. They did not. Had they done so the breakaway would have collapse right then. Mauro Schmid (Jayco-Alula), Tobias Johannessen (Uno X-Mobility) his teammate Mathias Vacek and the rest of the breakaway have been counting on the Dane's power to help keep them off the front and away from those chasing behind. Now, what will happen now that Pedersen has achieved his goal for the day. I suspect he will help Vacek as much as possible before he runs out of steam.
