Tremendous tour for Alaphilippe. Two stage wins and a top 5 in GC, many days in the yellow jersey, and he should receive the most combative award for the Tour overall.

And the KOM jersey as well.Escarabajo said:I know, but they could have won the stage.burning said:Escarabajo said:What a bunch of ****.
Why Ineos didn't want to attack?
Why would they? They are happy for finishing 1-2 in the GC
Supposedly the best climber in the world according to this forum. King of nothing sh it attackswoodburn said:Landa fourth in the Giro and sixth in the Tour. No stage wins. Classic Landa.
I have a very hard time seeing whats so wrong with that. Barguil has been pretty decent this Tour.Pantani Attacks said:Top 10 for Barguil? I take it back, one of the worst TDFs ever. Who on earth allowed that to happen...

They are celebrating him as if he just won the tour. I get the need to hype the leading German rider who finished 4th, but c'mon, he didn't do anything significant during this tour.
The winner attacked once and the other time was a quarter effort. That’s it, you have Landa attacking from 7 minutes behind and G half hearted attacks. That’s it for the whole tour and you want target a kid ?BullsFan22 said:German TV celebrating Buchmann.

He did well, his first top 10 in a gt.TomLPC said:BullsFan22 said:German TV celebrating Buchmann.

Can forgive him a bit because he's at the pointy end of a GT for the first time but yeah, the most anonymous 4th place I can remember.

Are you that mentally lacking that you don't get that Landa attacked far too late to win?
Sure if the stage was 1km longer then you have a point but he literally waited to attack till he had no chance to win.

He would have put minutes into them.Fergoose said:I think we can be extra confident that Bernal would have beaten Steven and Buchmann by at least 40 seconds yesterday even if the stage hadn't been curtailed.

It's really weird how, for a great tour, the top 15 has so many anonymous riders, being harsh, only 4 of them have really done anything beyond follow wheels

They could have won the stage and Bernal the KOM but didn't want to risk Thomas' second place and maybe waited for Buchmann or Kruijswijk to do something.
