Staying Topped Up TdF26-145
The young American Matthew Riccitello on the French team Decathlon-CMA CGM, was still in the front group as they climbed the Col du Telegraphe. It seemed that he was up front either for the stage, or as a satellite rider for his even younger teammate Paul Seixas. With another five kilometers to climb, he wisely dropped back to his team car to get a bidon and some gels. I am sure he will shortly be back on the wheel of Ben Healy (EF Education-EasyPost) who is currently riding tail gun in the breakaway. The group has a decent advantage over the peloton with another eighty-eight kilometers in the final mountain stage of the Tour.
