Tour de France 23, Stage 7: All by Himself

The phrase 'suicide mission' was use to describe this attack by Simon Guglielmi (Arkea Samsic).  He went off the front from the very start of the stage, and original had two guys with him.  They soon realized the follow of trying to make a break away stick to the finish on a day designed for the sprinters.  Guglielmi decided to press on.  One never knows what might happen in the peloton, so it may work, but the odds are not in his favor.

Tour de France 23, Stage 1: Who Is Going to Chase?

When Jonas Gregaard (Uno-X) had attacked the second time on the first climb of this year's Tour, Balentin Ferron (TotalEnergies) and Simon Guglielmi (Arkea-Samsic) looked at each other hoping the other would take up the chase.  These three had been joined by two others in the early break away.  They managed to stay away for roughly a 100 kilometers, but with a Yellow Jersey awaiting the winner of the stage, their efforts were doomed from the start.  While they traded the lead in the King of the Mountains competition amongst themselves, they were caught before the big climb of the day.  Perhaps one of them will come away with the most Aggressive Rider prize, but otherwise they came away empty handed in the end.

Paris Nice 2022: Passing Out Drinks

Today is realistically the last day for Nairo Quintana (Arkea-Samsic) and his team to put a dent in the time he lost in the individual time trial.  So he had one of his guys on the front of the peloton sharing the work of chasing down the break and the rest of his teammates making sure he was in good shape for the final climb to come.  Matis Lovel had grabbed a bottle from a team soigneur along the side of the road and then dropped back through the peloton to hand it over to Quintana.  Behind the Arkea Samsic pair another teammate, Simon Guglielmi looked on ready to swap a wheel or do whatever may be necessary to keep their man in contention.
