The Tour is racing in both Belgium and France today, so it was no big surprise to see both flags cheering the Maillot Jaune on along the roadside. It had to be more exciting to see a Belgium, Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) wearing yellow and leading the peloton. He was working well with the Tour debutante and youngest rider in the Tour, Quinn Simmons (Trek-Segafredo). Although I don't see I saw the stars and stripes of the American flag on the road today. I guess he will just have to claim that the red, white and blue of the French flag really stands for that of the USA. The duo had dropped their other break away companion, but still had two minutes on the peloton with 46 kilometers to race. They have a chance, but it is a slim one.
