Admittedly this image belies what is happening in the chase to keep the Maillot Jaune. Simon Yates (BikeExchange) had gotten free on the final climb endangering the race lead of Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma). Clearly, Roglic was 'on the rivot' on the climb trying to stay on the wheel of his teammate, Wout Van Aert, in the Maillot Vert. Several times on the climb, Van Aert had to wait for his team leader. On the way down he had recovered enough to give his loyal lieutenant a bit of a rest as they worked together to pull back the Brit on the Austrailian team. At this point, they were close enough to ensure that the Maillot Jaune would stay on the shoulders of Roglic, but I think the next goal was to set up Wout Van Aert for a stage victory (other than the time trial stage earlier in the week). They didn't quite achieve that goal, but Roglic with the help of Van Aert did enough to win Paris Nice.
