Again, I don't know what the conversation was about, but it could well have been about setting a pace that would keep them away from the peloton but would also keep them all together. The other possibility was that Nils Politt (Israel Start Up Nation) was voicing his annoyance with the work that Luis Leon Sanchez (Movistar) was doing. Behind them, it seems that Imanol Erviti (Movistar) was listening in, question is, what language are they using. Lagging a bit behind and starting to fade from the long effort of the longest day of the Tour was Matthieu Burgaudeau (Total Direct Energie). While you can barely see him, Kasper Asgreen (Deceuninck-Quick Step) is still tucked into this break.
