As I mentioned in my previous post, Tobias Foss (Ineos-Grenadiers) jumped free of the peloton to join his teammate Ben Swift and Swift's breakaway companion. When the trio hit the base of the penultimate climb of the day, Foss went off on a long solo run to the finish. So, for the second day in a row, this former Norwegian champion was making a brave effort to win on his own ahead of a chasing peloton. Alas, just like yesterday, he was caught (and dropped) on the final climb up to a summit finish. He ended up finishing around 35th on the stage, a minute and three-quarters behind the stage winner. Still, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
