Sensing the peloton closing in and the fading power of his break away companion, Brent Van Moer (Lotto Soudal) decided to go off on his own, perhaps hoping that lightening could indeed strike twice. With just eight kilometers left to race, he still has about a minute on the wide awake peloton. The normal formula for the time it takes to catch the break has him pulling this surprise off. I doubt it will succeed, but this is a bit of an odd Tour already.
