Both days (Galibier and Iseran) last year were colder and humid, much like today.IIRC a heatwave around the 2nd rest day and into the last week. Then the storms arrived a few days later.

Yes, which both were a few days after the second rest day weren’t they? I’m sure the week started with a heatwave though.Both days (Galibier and Iseran) last year were colder and humid, much like today.
If Pogacar drops Roglic, Bernal will follow. I can see that happening in the last week. And if that happens, I'm not sure whether Roglic can gain that much time on both of them.Think if he doesn't drop Roglic on GC it's gonna be nearly impossible
One would start to hope. Didn't expect i'd be saying that a month ago.Looked a lot better today. Yesterday and stage 6 might come back to haunt JV badly
And not that unfairly. Should have done more. Bernal's form trajectory looks good.Looked a lot better today. Yesterday and stage 6 might come back to haunt JV badly
I hope it comes back to bite themLooked a lot better today. Yesterday and stage 6 might come back to haunt JV badly
Depends on what's wrong with him. If they don't, use rest day to find out.Any point in staying after the rest day? Not going to win a stage and what value is maybe fighting for 10th? 5 weeks to the Vuelta...
If riding on doesn't make whatever issue he has worse, then there is also little point in abandoning.Any point in staying after the rest day? Not going to win a stage and what value is maybe fighting for 10th? 5 weeks to the Vuelta...
Agree- to finish 7 minutes down suggests it is something more than just a bad day.This was one of the worst climbing performance of Bernal's career in the WT, and possibly ever.
It's pretty clear something is off. Might be related to his back injury or a mistimed preparation due to lockdown or even an undisclosed illness.
I think anything happening in 2020 shouldn't automatically be taken as an indication of riders present or future level. And this applies to Bernal as to many other riders. It's been an odd year for everyone. Some respond better than others, physically and emotionally. I still consider Bernal a champion and look forward watching him fight for a GT win again soon.
Yes. I think having won the Tour de France at age 22 is a pretty good entry for Bernal's palmares. He's not looked like himself the past several weeks. I expect to see him back competing for grand tour wins in 2021.This was one of the worst climbing performance of Bernal's career in the WT, and possibly ever.
