You think people think they can overtake Bernal? Not unless he crashes. I think there will be fireworks for the podium but that is about it.Broccolidwarf said:5 riders inside 1,42 of yellow, up the last mountain of the tour.
Tomorrow is going to be an epic battle, with 5 guys all thinking they can win the Tour.
Well you obviously cant give time bonuses for the stage win, but there was 8 seconds on top of Iseran. Thats the seconds Im speaking aboutthehog said:Valv.Piti said:Why in the world wouldnt you at least give him the time bonus?? I mean, that doesnt make sense at all.thehog said:So no time bonuses - no 10 seconds or 8 seconds for Bernal. Puts him what 45 up on Ala?
The stage has to finish, it didn't so no time bonuses, which is fair given the situation.

From what I've seen on Twitter, the people complaining about the timing were largely people who were already complaining about the cancellation itself and had to shift their position as the state of the road became clear to avoid having to actually change their minds.luckyboy said:I don't know how people are complaining about this decision and the timing of it when they have no idea whatsoever when the storms and mudslide happened.
We didn't see any images of the hail or mudslide until Bernal was at the top of the Iseran. There was still a mudslide when reporters got there.
Maybe the road was perfectly passable when the riders were halfway up the Iseran. Nobody here knows.
This is the only decision to take considering the situation.

In that case, what you definitely didn't see was Bernal and Yates contesting the stage win.staubsauger said:I saw Bernal being first on top of the Iseran, before the race was stopped. For me he has won this stage as that's what effectively happened. I stopped caring what rewritten history books claim years ago. I just hope he doesn't need the bonus seconds they stole away from him tomorrow. Glad he's legitimately earned the yellow jersey at least!

Agree, they have done the most fair thing.JRanton said:staubsauger said:I saw Bernal being first on top of the Iseran, before the race was stopped.

He was awarded 8 bonus seconds because those bonuses at the top of the Iseran were already in place for the stage. I think they've done the fairest thing they could in the circumstances.
He could protest!DFA123 said:Doubt it. He was struggling with the altitude more than anything - something that massively favoured Bernal. Probably would have closed the gap on the last climb if anything.This Charming Man said:Allaphillipe is very fortunate with this calll.....he would have lost many minutes on the next climb.

It's a dead end.Bardamu said:They should add the Tignes to the race tomorrow. It's not a big detour.
