The method of delivering the time gaps may be a bit archaic, but seeing the chalkboard telling Simon Yates (Orica-Scott) telling him that the peloton was 55 seconds behind had to lift the young Brits spirits. Then to see both the time gap and the red kite signifying that there was only one kilometer left to race, had to give him all the energy he needed to claim the stage. Behind, the peloton was sparring with each other trying to gain just a few seconds on each other. Ultimately, those behind didn't really change their race standings much at all.
