Ewan followed the leadout man when he peeled off instead of DG then had to kick to get back on his wheel and still won. Not bad.
He said afterwards that he purposefully laid off Groenewegen so he could have a clear run at his back wheel, get the slipstream effect, then carry that speed past him.
To have lucidity like that in the chaos of a Tour sprint finish shows maturity.
Didn't see that interview; "Rush the gap" track craft in a TDF sprint is pwoper
