Testing the Legs PN25-2
The final climb of the opening stage of Paris Nice saw Julian Alaphilippe (Tudor) go on his near patented attack. He was quickly covered by the American, Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike) as the pair got a bit of a gap on the Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe led peloton. The move came to naught, so I suspect the Alaphilippe was just testing both his legs, and the legs of the favorites on his rival teams. He may well have learned a bit about Jorgenson.
