Tour de France 2015 stage 20: Modane - Alpe d'Huez

[Hugo Koblet]

1'15. Perhaps Movistar could have actually won this Tour?

Re: Re:

Froome getting spat on again

Froome should adopt the use of the Hinault approach more.

Hi Afrank - how you doing ?

Yes agreed - Hinault would have got off his bike - smacked the guy and carried on . . .

I'm well.

I'd like to see one rider just wack an abusive fan in the face and continue riding by as if nothing has happened. Would make a very satisfying gif.

Re:

last k is flat to downhill - might end up saving froome.

Forgot that, good point

 

[huangho]

1:20 down... Froome has it

 

[Zoophonic]

Who was the poster who said Quintana was overrated a couple of days ago. This is such a brave effort.

Belli did once. He was thrown out of the race.

Pinot will win the stage

Re:

Pinot deserves the stage much more than Quintana.

Why exatcly?

Re: Re:

Well it's obvious now, quintana's 3rd week is really good while froome's 3rd week is average at best. Except for vuelta 2014 but that doesn't count since froome didn't start in top shape

Average at best? That's a bit ingenious. It's a 3 week race not a one week one.

1 week ago he stomped quintana and now he can't follow him and even piti is better than him. Of course his 3rd week is average if you compare it with how strong he previously was.

Best climber in the world, hands down

Agreed.

The Ryo Prophecy!

Too bad he's banned.

Wait, Ryo was banned?
After all this time? What did he have to do?

He gets banned all the time.

Re: Re:

Porte looks like a great signing for BMC. Doing his job like a boss..

He can't go 3 weeks without a bad day. Great for 1 week tours though

I'm not talking about leading a team. He's obviously an unreal superdomestique.

If Valverde actually did some decent pulling for Quintana.

 

[jsem94]

Chapeau Pinot. He has been suffering this Tour, but he saves it with this win.

 

[Tigerion]

Ritchie has a great TT on him, time to put it to use

He gets banned all the time.

I can imagine. It's just that with all the things he gets away with, I always imagined he'd have to step up and murder someone on live TV to get banned

Anyway, back to the race. Pinot has this. That's good to see. Shame Froome's train kept him in yellow.

 

[SeriousSam]

A second rate rider like Pinot winning Alpe, what a lucklustre finish to the Tour de France.

 

[46&twoWheels]

Quintana doing a sagan for the second consecutive stage!!

 

[Irondan]

Froome is going to make it by the skin of his chinny chin chin...

 

[Pricey_sky]

What an effort from Quintana, chapeau!!

 

[TI-Raleigh]

Quite the redemptive victory for Pinot (assuming he pulls if off).

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Pinot is actually riding very strongly. Quintana is the only one who has been coming a bit closer.......

 

[Melo]

Movistar *** as ***. If they didn't protect Valverde's 3rd spot in previous days, they could've won the yellow jersey. Lame Unzue, lame.

 

[GuyIncognito]

It's official. Quintana would've won this Tour without the stage 2 time loss.
