Definitely some serious motorpacing, but if they front group let the peloton come back it's 100% their own fault. It's 10 guys vs. 3 or 4 guys in the peloton.

No, you don't have a chance with 10 guys with a bike against a moto. The front group was working well, not perfectly, but well. But this way they don't have a chance.

There are also like 8 teams working in the peloton now, tbf. Still, the motor should be in front of the front group too.

Well just to be clear. The fact that the front group moto stays behind them is completely stupid if the peloton has one in front. Obviously.

But peloton is now also with every team working together.

Still 22 seconds and Jayco seems done.

And DSM isn't even doing anything while Kristoff and De Lie are even sacrificing their leadout.

As long as the front group doesn't stop riding they won't come back. Not many teammates left in peloton.

It's already a Alpecin guy in 2nd position.

Peloton has just about run out of riders pulling, they need to hope the front group starts playing games soon.

Hirschi was blocked a bit at the end. But the front group did make it, I am calmed down. :)
I didn't believe it, but the race did deliver at the end. Hopefully next year this will make the team take some more strong riders to the race instead of a full on sprint team.
