2019 Tour de France, stage 9: Saint-Étienne>Brioude 170,5Km

[Keram]

Bora and Sunweb decided to have a day of. Sunweb is probably tired chasing for Bling's minor placings and Bora needed to rest Sagan after yesterday stage where he was hanging on for dear life. I expected Schachmann in the break not Posti though. He is anonymous this Tour.

Tiesj will kill them on the hill and take a magnificent solo win.

For his 2nd pro win.

I think he has some serious competition in this break.

 

[sir fly]

Wonder if anybody from All England Club's following the Tour at the moment.

 

[HelloDolly]

Ivan Garcia looks good as does Traknik

As they have 2 you'd think they'd be favourites

 

[HelloDolly]

Postleberger now looks like he could be the man ftw

Re:

The guy has five sevonds and doesn't climb particularly brilliantly.

 

[sir fly]

These moves look like feeling out to me.
To make sure what to do later on.

Stage wins dont always go to the strongest ...they some times go to the smartest and the one who saved energy

He will have a minute in no time (if the chasers don't start riding at +90%) and it's not like that last climb is that hard.

It's not that easy either. But it does look better for him now.

That would really suck if he just won like that.

First 1.5km is pretty hard if I remember correctly so they to go all out immediately on that climb.

Moto in front and behind Pöstlberger. Wow, nice help

 

[HelloDolly]

If it comes back one has to favour Cortina or Impey

I meant Naessen for the sprint

 

[sir fly]

Salmon shot in the field!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

10 seconds

 

[HelloDolly]

Of course Tratnik needs to slow it down for Cortina

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Well, if they stay ahead, Impey will take it.

Yeah, darn it. I have some money on Benoot.

 

[Valv.Piti]

This is some classic Soler-climbing going on here.

Re:

You mean underwhelming?

 

[Simurgh]

Bardet attacks! Porte and Bennett follow

Re: Re:

Exactly, underwhelming diesel stuff.

Bardet on the offensive!

Re: 2019 Tour de France, stage 9: Saint-Étienne>Brioude 170,

Sky clawing it, Bernal should've attacked instead, far more entertaining

 

[Simurgh]

INEOS shutting it down..
