Adam Hansen, 18th stage TDF
Adam had the same open leash today that Markus had, and from the looks of his file, he was trying just as hard as Markus was to get in the break of the day. He spent about 41 minutes near the front and attacking and going with attacks to get into the break, only to not get in the right combination or time. Once his teammate Markus went away, then it was shut it down time and conserve energy. Only on the climbs did Adam have to push a bit to make it over in the front group, but make it over the climbs today he did.
Finishing in 23rd place today was his highest placing in a stage and after the big mountains it was quite an accomplishment to make it in the main bunch today. Great job Adam!
