It was an incredible move that got Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates) off the front. But it was some amazingly strong legs and determination that had him opening a gap on the break and the peloton all on his own. The young American has already won two races with just this kind of effort this year. It was certainly looking like he was going to do it again today. As he swept through this turn on the way to the summit of the Col de la Mure he was photographed by one of the many press photographers darting around the race on the back of motorcycles. While this guy is squatting on the inside of the turn, you can tell by his helmet that he has just jumped off the bike to get this shot. I'm guess he may stay there to shoot those trying to get back on terms with McNulty.
