It&#8217;s a hard, risky way to go for the victory, and doesn&#8217;t often succeed.<\/p>\n<p>But what&#8217;s it like when it does?<\/p>\n<p>Sigrid Haugset shocked the cycling world this summer when she rode nearly 90km on her own to win a stage of the Tour de France Femmes &#8211; the longest solo breakaway in the race&#8217;s history. Her efforts also saw her become the first Norwegian woman to wear its famous yellow jersey.<\/p>\n<p>During his competitive career, Steve Cummings gained a reputation as one of cycling&#8217;s most adventurous racers, winning stages of the Tour de France and Vuelta a Espana, as well Olympic and World Championship medals for Great Britain. He now works as a directeur sportif for the Jayco AlUla team, masterminding the victories of other riders.<\/p>\n<p>They talk to More than the Score&#8217;s Lee James and the BBC&#8217;s Matt Warwick about the art of the breakaway &#8211; how to know when to go, and what it takes to stay away. They also give an insight into the kind of thoughts that go through a rider&#8217;s head when they take on the world alone.<\/p>\n<p>Unexpected questions and beyond the scoresheet chat.
