The first in a month and a half.

I don't know what you think you saw, but Simon definitely was in the peloton, just before Gorka. Adam just rolls in a minute later but doesn't wave to anyone. Mollema does right behind him in his red jersey.

Simon did crack big time in the only race where he didn't ride with his brother.
