VIDEO: Nils Politt fumes at neutral service car after ill-timed mechanical brings an end to breakaway exploits

Nils Politt has been going really well at the 2023 Tour de France without much reward. The BORA - hansgrohe rider successfully made it into the breakaway on stage 19 and would have held hopes of a stage win, before disaster struck.
So powerful is the big German that he completely snapped his chain. With only a minute's advantage over the peloton, a quick bike change was key. Sadly for Politt, his team car was nowhere to be seen and the neutral service car at hand repeatedly pulled off the wrong-sized bike from the rack, much to Politt's frustration, bringing an end to his breakaway exploits.

- Now we know the real secret🤣😁
- The UCI adheres to some archaic rules but does not consider serious infringements.🙄
- Isn't he on 6 million a year? Someone knows?
- Just a bit dizzy from having to take all those corners.
- That 2nd acceleration during the 1st.. Pheww.. Simply world class.
- Wuyts needs to take his pills. Van Aert was the only one of all 5 favourites that didn't carry out a real attack. Pogacar twice, Pedersen, Bettiol, MvdP..
- Ganna's gold medal win was really something. Bigham is position is very aerodynamic. Bigham was 2.2 s up at 3.25 k mark and Ganna won making up the deficit in 0.75 k.
- Nobody skips the Worlds!!
- He better could have skipped the Worlds. Someone needs to protect him from his own ambition.
- Their tactic was okay. But what tactics take into account the weather and the Mathieu van der Poel phenomenon
