32ème édition du Tour de l'Ain (2.1) // August 7th - 9th 2020

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Almeida lost 15 seconds... Van Wilder must have been dropped from that group, didn't see him finish yet.

 

[Savant12]

Ineos having only one leader for the TdF based on current form.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Bernal showed he can strut it with not much support.

 

[Jspear]

Did the first turn on the climb then dropped.

I think Jumob is gonna set the record for most work put into failed sprint leadout

.....

Ineos having only only leader for the TdF based on current form.

Aye but look at the team they brought....Froome and GT always take a long time (at least in recent years) to get their engines cooking.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Aru +14s
that's my boy!

 

[TomLPC]

Wouldn't worry about ineos, their best mountain domestique luke rowe is just riding himself into form

 

[Rollthedice]

Quintana had a nice nap today. Tomorrow gonna show them, trains or no trains.

GC

 

[F_Cance]

This is so unlucky. Mollema would have at least finished in the top 3. That was really great timing, but f** Sram had to ruin it. Now even the dropped riders finished in front of him.
Also the 3rd place in GC is now out of reach. Would have been between him and Nairo

Laughs in Sivakov

There used to be a time when one leader was enough.

Laughs in Sivakov

A very good last man for Bernal. Just like the Porte/Poels role for Froome.

The future is now old man

 

[JosephK]

Nice to see Nairo continuing in recouping his form after the crash and layoff to recover. Dumoulin is getting more work in, which is good. It looks like Roglic will be Jumbo's top guy for the TDF, but maybe Dumoulin will be ready by then. Bernal looks very strong--maybe Sivakov will be a factor for Ineos also in le Tour. Not sure about Froome and Thomas.

 

[HelloDolly]

A very good last man for Bernal. Just like the Porte/Poels role for Froome.

Well according to reports Sosa has been the best in training

 

[Pricey_sky]

Laughs in Sivakov

Yeah, all the gossip in the past few weeks was Sivakov was flying, I think he’ll be a huge help at the Tour. Sosa was also going well too.

 

[Rollthedice]

Do you think Pino was watching the race or playing with his little lamb?

 

[Red Rick]

Do you think Pino was watching the race or playing with his little lamb?

He's aiming for his Moby *** this September

 

[F_Cance]

That was even worse than the sky train today. 3 jumbo riders in a 6 man group and their only attack was the halfhearted Kruijswijk attack. Really painful to watch.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Looks like my predictions regarding young guys was pretty much spot on. Almeida (1998) and Van Wilder (2000) tough as nails. Vanhoucke (1997), respectable.

[TourOfSardinia]

G. Thomas +05:07 ?

 

[ppanther92]

G. Thomas +05:07 ?

Yes, came in in the same group as Dumoulin today. But I guess they will kind of be there at the Tour. Froome - can't see that anymore...

 

[Red Rick]

Froome 12 minutes down.

All that happened was Jumbo drilled a borderline cat 1 climb.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

... Froome - can't see that anymore...

Damaged Goods for ISN ?
