Oh! After pushing myself to breaking point to hold his wheel in that opening 100 meters, I tried to use his slipstream to fire past. He was seriously fast, especially when he could wind his powerful sprint up from a distance, and he had a great knack of holding his top speed. I hadn’t seen Alaphilippe.
