There's no way to explain why some breakaways go just at the gun from two guys and nobody cares, and other breakaways are an hour-long shit fight.
I've definitely had the job of, "Phil, get in the early breakaway today," and the flag goes down, and I go, and you look back, and you're a minute up, and it's like, "What happened?" And then other days where it's a total war.
Ended up with four guys, Anton Charmig on Uno X, Nils Enevoldsen on Movistar, Mathis Le Berre, TotalEnergies.
He was in no man's land for a while, but they finally told him to give it a rest and go back to the group.
Alpecin, of course, still likes Jasper, but they kinda looked around like, "Look, we haven't won any sprint stages yet.
This is y'all's problem today." Other teams thought about it for a second and then said, "Well, fine, but as soon as you win a stage, you're on the front again." The gap only went up to, like, a minute 30.
