I’ve got to thank Bob Roll for the title of this painting. He was so impressed with the sprint of Mads Petersen (Trek-Segafredo) that he referred to the Dane as being ‘wicked fast.’ It is normally a Boston area colloquialism, so it was a bit odd coming from the former racer from Colorado. Pedersen’s stage win and its bonus seconds puts the former world champion into the Maillot Jaune of race leader. Just out of the frame is Olav Kooij (Jumbo-Visma) finished second, with Magnus Cort (EF Education-EasyPost) finishing out the podium and Daniel McLay (Arkea-Samsic) claiming fourth in Fountainbleu. Tomorrow it will be a team time trial, so it is highly possible that Trek-Segafredo will keep their guy in yellow.
