(PREVIEW) After yesterdays surprise (but not entirely unpredicted) breakaway win, Philipsen will surely be even more motivated to pull a break back for a sprint.
But a hilly profile will surely make it harder than yesterday, and with few other teams likely to help out this is probably one for the break. So could be a hard fought start.
Woke up this morning thinking about what Mohoric said in the interview, the emotions he showed.
I love it when a rider talks about more than: yeah, I won an I’m so happy.
And if you haven’t seen it yet, here is part of it.

Ps I wanted to post this as a separate post, but for some reason I can’t add a photo even if I resize it to 300x400 and a photo is required to post it.
I can’t imagine how much a colleague dying at work would suck the fun out of a job. Props to them all for climbing back on. We celebrate the hardmen for their physical resilience but that’s some mental strength.
That was an entertaining stage to watch. The fight for the break was great and I am glad to see them make it to the end.
Oh and I can’t be the only one happy that Philipsen didn’t win again. The way he tried to control the race on Thursday really ticked me off.
I think the breakaways stayed away just to annoy him 😂
He’s entitled to pretend to be a big man if he wants. It just makes it super funny to me when he fails. Yeah rooting against him too, he’ll probably get paris anyhow.
I want Pedersen to beat him on the last few meters 😀
