2016 Tour de France, Stage 20: Megève → Morzine (147km)

Re:

So does Roman making the podium like this save this TDF from being the worst in recent memory? At least 2012 had the funny Wiggo/Froome feud going on. This is dire but for crash-induced drama.

Kreuziger on the podium would be a chief reason as to why this Tour was terrible...

 

[IndianCyclist]

the mountains in this mountainous tdf are inconsequential, boring and totally irrelevant w.r.t GC

 

[WildspokeJoe]

This stage is horribly dull.

Kreuziger making it to the podium would be divine justice. If only to see the rest getting their due punishment.

But the will not make the podium whatsoever. Not even the top-5.

What is Pantano/Alaphilippe's gap to the chasers?

 

[sir fly]

It's going to be interesting battle for the stage.

 

[hfer07]

I just hope for the sake of cycling that Pantano wins the stage, because so far is has been DULL & BORING

 

[Sciocco]

Re:

90 seconds.

 

[ILovecycling]

I dont think Ala and Jarlinson can make it

btw Nibali riding

 

[webvan]

Can't really see Kreuziger keeping his lead?

Joux Plane, what a climb, still remember 2006 when they were all struggling in turn, barely moving forward Kloden, Pereiro, Cunego, epic! Nice write-up here : http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/racing/tour-de-france/the-col-de-joux-plane-the-tour-de-frances-forgotten-col-262272

 

[Poursuivant]

Where is Kreuziger going next year? Trek? Lol

Re:

around 1:40, they are riding away bit by bit on the flat... but action starts just now

 

[cineteq]

Re:

Neither. Too much work in the flat for nothing.

Pantano or Alaphillipe?

 

[Ikbengodniet]

Kreuziger should be glad if he finishes top 10. Podium is ofcourse totally out of the question.

 

[Flamin]

1'37" at the base for Pantano/Ala.

 

[SafeBet]

So Kreuziger not even on the podium already.

Re:

proves once and for all how overrated nibali's descending is as I've been calling here for years

Don't agree that this proves it, and Nibali is a very good descender, but his descending is indeed overrated

 

[happychappy]

First time AG2R have been on the front of a bike race for years.

 

[cycladianpirate]

Is it raining on the final descent?

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Even if the two in front get caught near the top one of them will still win

 

[BigMac]

Alaphilippe looks set to be this years' super-combatif because the promotor decided to award it based on whoever gets more retweets on twitter. Has it always been like this?

Not funny

Pretty sure that's wrong...

 

[Gigs_98]

C'mon Nibali. Try something
