Team cars are not allowed to go ahead of the riders of the team unless there is one in the breakaway. For example with today’s breakaway, only Europcar, Cofidis and the other team are allowed to be allowed to be ahead of the peloton. All the other team cars are behind the peloton.
“...Daniel Teklehaimanot: “My childhood dream comes true”
I’m really happy about what happened today. I can’t believe it. That was my childhood dream to get the polka dot jersey at the Tour de France. I was excited about having just for one day. I followed exactly the team’s plan we were had this morning. I made it in a group of three riders. After I scored two points, I was nervous that I wouldn’t take one more, otherwise I would be left with nothing...”
Congrats Daniel. Good ride and way to snap up the three points for the Polka-dot Jersey.
