With the leader's Ochre Jersey on the back of their team leader, Richie Porte, it was time for BMC to do the work of pulling back the break. Doing the lion share of the effort was the neo-pro Miles Scotson who is also the brand new Australian national champion. Joining him in the effort are two of his teammates, Francisco Ventoso and Danilo Wyss The last time I remember painting Scotson was when he was on the ground after crashing in the Under 23 Road World Championships in 2015 in Richmond Virginia. Scotson had crashed on the same piece of road that has bitten off some of my skin in the past.
