That would never happen. The Champs Elysees victory is too prestigious for any of the sprint teams to allow a breakaway. I can't even remember the last time a breakaway won in Paris. Most of the time, the breakaways are there just to get some camera time.
Team Ineos wouldn't even have to do any of the work to chase him down.
