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.
