Kévin Vauquelin cries foul play from 'Soudal guy' as Ineos Grenadiers rider launches stunning comeback at Paris-Nice after being dumped in the echelons

The Big Ring Report take

Kévin Vauquelin, apparently unfamiliar with the cutthroat nature of echelon racing, found himself rather peeved after a "Soudal guy" (who, let's be honest, could be anyone on that team) left him for dead at Paris-Nice. Meanwhile, an Ineos Grenadiers rider, presumably having consumed the correct blend of science and marginal gains, launched a comeback so stunning it made Vauquelin's 100km chase look like a mere warm-up before he dropped most of the GC field. It seems some riders still believe in sportsmanship over survival.
