Phil Bauhaus is not a sprinter with such a big name when comparing to Tim Merlier and Jonathan Milan or such a strong leadout; but he sometimes appears unexpected into great sprint performances. Today was such a case, he came close to winning the final sprint on stage 6
“To be honest, I'm not a fan of a finish like today. We go down at more than 80 kilometers per hour with a whole peloton. That's not necessary, is it?" Bauhaus questions in words to Eurosport. "For me it is more important that everyone has stayed straight than any result.” The result was third at the finish line, although the German rider may have been left hoping for more as he was in a very difficult difficult position next to the barriers. A place on the podium among such competition was still a strong result for the
Bahrain - Victorious rider.
