With just five kilometers to the line in Fougeres, John Degenkolb (Giant Alpecin) put his whole team on the front to drive the pace. A high pace will make sure that no other opportunist will be able to escape from the peloton, thus stealing the thunder from marquee sprinters. Notice behind the RVs behind the riders. Many European's are given a three week vacation that they will use to follow the Tour from stage to stage. Phil Liggett, long time commentator of the Tour, always says, that during every July, you can't book a camper for love or money, they are all out on the road in France.
