Excellent team execution on another challenging stage, as Sam Bassetti celebrates in the background!

Eric won the opening stage and then followed up with back to back wins in stage 4 and 5.

 

Stage 4 was an amazing team effort from the whole squad. George Simpson rode in the break of the day, spending the majority of the 158K race up the road. With 20K remaining, he attacked the break, going solo in his best time trial effort, until the peloton was within striking distance.

Teammate Adam Roberge then launched a solo counter attack with 7 K remaining, as the remainder of the team lined up for the sprint.

Adam was caught with under 2K remaining, and Ulises Castillo and Sam Bassetti helped set Eric Young perfectly for the sprint finale and his 2nd win of the tour.
