Greig Leach

As he turned onto the first climb up out of Monaco, Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike) slid out in the corner. He had attempted to stomp on the pedals as he came out of the turn to keep his speed up on the ensuing climb. Fortunately, he nor his bike were hurt. He was back up and underway in less than twelve seconds. It could well have been the end of his stage. That or, it could give him the adrenaline rush to push him that much faster over the remaining twenty-five kilometers to Nice. Side note, he was a few seconds behind at the first time check, but then started setting the best times through the next two time checks and the most important time at the finale. His ride cemented his hold on eighth in the general classification.
