So roughly six riders up the road, but...
quim simmons actually ends up waiting for the next group in the downhill or in the flat section afterwards and then starts pacing the peloton so it looks like trek realized okay at this point the boy's at six us we don't know if he's going back we got a race and simmons dropped back and started pacing there but about to return of the kaflon
There's a lot of steps here.
I said earlier, when he crashed, Bissiger and Holle waited instantly and then paced in for the valley towards that climb, the La Salle du Grand Colombier.
On that climb, Aurélien Paré-Panchoudrop back to help him.
It's like the team car did not panic.
If I was in that team car, Patrick, I would have been like, Poles down, everybody.
Put your bikes down.
Wait on Poles success.
Panic, full panic.
That's the wrong thing to do.
The right thing to do is what I think the team card did here, which is the gradual pulling back of the riders and doing so, making sure that they can follow the peloton until they're necessary behind.
And I think that's the perfect way to do so, right?
Well, I want to add a bit more there because there's a bit more to that story.
sorry his right hip was was bloody like he's landed he slid out and hit his right hip pretty hard yeah he's got some blood on his side on his back a little bit as well there's some wounds there but after but then we also see prodom waiting and bizzio waiting who does the final push but there's also a small segment in a relatively narrow road it didn't take too long if i'm being honest
where the team of Decathlon, while trying to come back, was basically in the wheel of the team car.
And it's a highly discussed moment on social media.
And I do have something to say here.
A lot of people are asking for a disqualification, a fine for success, stuff like that.
There's two different pieces of car pacing to me, Patrick, and you have to tell me whether you agree or not.
