Useful on the climbs, though.

But a satellite rider is less useful on the climbs by default, you know?

Yeah, it's like they're trying to do two things at the same time.

They've got Dixon at the front with the strongest rider in there.

Pacing, too.

In that breakaway, pacing.

And then the group behind, they're also trying to make sure that Voting can hurt the GC opponents at the same time.

I don't hate it if the plan is for Dixon to solely be a satellite rider.

If that is the sole goal of Dixon today, then sure, you can go with that.

But if she probably could have won the stage, if FDJ doesn't implement too much of a chasing strategy is how I'd classify it.

But to be clear, we're talking about a GC group at this point of maybe 20 riders left, and in that group is still Célia Géry at the start of this climb for voting who I think...

It's pacing, Krak as well, but she drops, I think it might have been one of the earlier ones on that climb.

A U-turn on a climb.

What do you call that again?

In a certain hairpin, I think it was Krak that went around the corner and had like a gap.

It almost felt like you were watching an attack, right?

Yeah, that's for sure.

And to be honest...

At this point, Anna van der Breggen was not necessarily following that move of Marlon Royce-Wren and Volring being in the wheel basically on the climb there.

She ended up crawling back with the others a bit after that attack.
