Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 13 (Le Bourg d’Oisans – Saint-Étienne, 193.6k)

I suspect there was on-the-road management issues between BEX and Alpecin - BEX had a rider in the secondary group which Alpecin chased down, so BEX who have a stage win may have decided that Alpecin needs to bring back the break - This often happens in races - Anyway at least BEX have made it exciting for the remainder of the stage.

I think the typical break of smaller teams would probably be caught in this scenario, but I don’t see how these 3 BEX guys are going to take 2 minutes back from those big engines/superior rouleurs in this break, even if they have been out front all day.

Ed. Ricco beat me to it :)
