It seemed odd to find all of Ag2r-Citroen on the front of the peloton with 68 kilometer left in the stage. Oliver Naesen looks at the bidon offered to him by his teammate, Clement Berther. The bidon had come from the musette over the shoulder of another teammate on his right-hand side. I'm sorry I was never able to figure out the name of the guy with the bag of goodies. On their wheels are relieved teammates from UAE Team Emirates and Jumbo-Visma who don't need to ride on the front for their team leaders, Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard respectively. Those two sit second and first in the general classification. Those up the road don't effect either of their placings, but perhaps the guys in brown shorts are a bit worried about the placing of their team leader, Ben O'Connor.
