When the highlights show skipped to the breakaway having formed for yesterday's stage, Ben O'Connor was a minute behind the peloton, which was at that point being driven by... AG2R.
I know O'Connor is not a GC threat, but what was going on there? Or were they trying to limit the pace so he could get back? Not crucial to the stage in any way, but it caught my eye and confused me.
