Enzo Paleni had a plan going into stage 3 of the Tour Down Under, which was not only to go into the breakaway but to play with the pacing of the group, to try and influence the chasing peloton and hopefully make it to the finish line. It almost worked.
The Groupama-FDJ United rider was caught in the final kilometre of the stage by the charging pack, who were determined to have a bunch sprint.
