It is not clear what tour leader Wat van Art tried to do tonight (Thursday) in the sixth, longest section of the Tour de France this season (220 km from Binsh to Longway) at the end of which he lost the yellow shirt no less than last season's Slovenian Taday Fogacher from the UAE team .
Van Art went on an escape in which he was also a partner of Israel Premier Tech's Danish Vogelsang, but even before the last 20 kilometers he was left alone in the escape, debating whether to continue galloping to justify his strange move or to return to the platoon and admit the serious tactical mistake.
Van Art galloped and the gap narrowed, his riding abilities came to an end and the bottom line?
He was caught 11.1 km to the finish, after galloping almost 200 kilometers alone like a young rider who just wants to show off a little in his yellow shirt. .
Today (14:00, Eurosport) will be the seventh section between Tomblane and La Planche de Bell Phi (176.5 km).
