Catching Her Teammate TdFF26-19
During the individual time trial riders start at one-minute intervals until the top twenty riders, then it shifts to two minutes. When Alice Towers (EF Education-Oatly) looked behind her, she saw her teammate in her Luxembourg Champion's jersey Nina Berton. Having ridden one time trial in my life, I can tell you it is very demoralizing to be caught by the person who started behind you. Since it was her teammate, I doubt she was that surprised. Breton finished in ninth place but move much further down the rankings on the stage as those that started later set better and better times as the day wore on.
