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

[Poursuivant]

De gendt is a beast

 

[PremierAndrew]

Peloton down to 30-40 riders

 

[Samamba]

Too bad De Gendt isn't the best descender.

 

[Flamin]

Descent could be interesting.

 

[Miburo]

How can i forget that terrible giro, that wasn't the giro. It was something else, please don't talk about it anymore

 

[GuyIncognito]

As expected, everyone's afraid of the Joux-Plane

As they should be. Anytime it's included the riders end up calling it the hardest climb after the fact. The numbers of it don't seem particularly tough, but there's just something about it that makes so many crack

Re: Re:

Why can't LLS call it a day and let the racing begin. He wants to pull way too long, way too much, for some reason. Always. Why?

Because he's told to.

It's up to his DS and/or Aru to tell him to up the pace.

It just boggles me then. AG2R asks to up the pace - they have 3 with Aru apart from LLS + Fuglsang and Nibali out in front.

I remember the same thing happening to the stage to Sotres Cabrales. Dumoulon was soooo close to dropping, yet, LLS kept on going in his tempo despite Astana having many more available. I mean, he is a very good rouleur and decent climber, but... meh. I may me very wrong here, but I think it has something to do with his ego.

 

[Escarabajo]

Pantano doing his thing on the descents!

of course i mean in the tour

in the giro i know that it's impossible

Im sure Giro 2012 was closer

10th was 8 minutes back, so close

It was actually 6 minutes after the 19th stage, 15 riders inside 10 minutes

Oh, sorry, I was looking at the final result

Sorry dude. Seriously, sorry....

 

[Taxus4a]

Again nobody want to attack from far, so Froome will win this Tour except crash or something like that...

 

[sir fly]

Quintana will have to drop Bardet for good on Jeux plan if he wants the second spot.

Re: Re:

Did Majka even attempt to help kreuziger?

Has Majka ever worked for anyone?

Nibs on his way...

wow, I wonder where does it come from... Contador fanboys being unable to accept the reality in which their star does not shine anymore and the team had to order Majka to follow the polka dot?

I do not really follow him but I can remember he was pulling really hard for Sagan during TdSuisse las year...

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Re:

He is chanceless on Joux Plane anyway, I think

 

[Flamin]

Pantano owning in the descent.

 

[ILovecycling]

Wtf Pantano
This is sagan lvl

 

[hfer07]

Pantano seems to have the descending gift in him

 

[mb2612]

In the 1968 Tour de France, the top ten was separated by 7'55"

 

[Arredondo]

Pantano is a joy to watch

 

[Flamin]

And of course Alaphilippe the cx'er.

 

[jalep]

Pantano hahahaha descending

 

[doperhopper]

de gendt had 47 sec on top... caught, rolland passed and dropped by the group

hahaha, Kelly praising Lemond for being good descender ("he's a bit heavyweight now")

 

[Gigs_98]

Where Is Nibali?

I remember that stage as well. Sagan won the stage, IIRC?

 

[Escarabajo]

Sh!t Pantano!

Scary descent!
