“Descends like a goat”

The above quote is from yesterday’s stage, which Frenchman Nans Peters won from a break. Many thought that Russian Ilnur Zakarin would take this stage because of his climbing prowess, but it became pretty evident early on that as soon as these two guys crested the penultimate climb, he was not in his wheelhouse. Nans Peters attacked on the descent because ‘j’ai vu qu’il descendait comme une chèvre’. If you’ve seen the video, you’ll understand immediately.

Anyway, a useful phrase to throw at your friends on your next ride.
