Tour '25, Stage 7: Racing Back

With thirty-three kilometers to race, Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) was being paced back into the peloton after a nature break by his teammate Pascal Eenkhoorn.  The pair streaked pass Jonas Rutsch (Intermarche-Wanty) who may have been looking for his team car.  Evenepoel is wearing a white jersey since he is currently the best young rider of this Tour.  Evenepoel won the Maillot Blanc in 2024 and finished third taking the final step of that Tour's podium.  He seemed to be having a bit of trouble regaining the peloton as the speed continued to increase as the race flew to the conclusion of the day.

TDF, Stage 15: Back Through the Caravan

Ben O'Connor (Ag2r Citroen) started the day with hopes of repeating his stage win in the Alps.  Early into the stage he had a mechanical and was forced to chase back onto the peloton.  Racing through the caravan of team cars and race support vehicles he had no other than the reigning Olympic champion, Greg Van Avermaet as a pilot fish to lead him through the chaos at the back of the race.  With 150 kilometers of the 191 kilometer stage left to race there was no need to panic.  As he came out from behind the Jumbo-Visma team car, he waved his thanks to the driver.  As the riders overtake cars in the caravan, the drivers will toot their horns to make sure that the next vehicle knows that a rider is approaching the back of their car.
