Re: Re:

What other breaks was Barguil involved in other than Foix, I think Station de Rousses and Chambery?

It's not a breakaway prize.
Barguil was very aggressive and not just for show.

This...

Thank you LaFlo for articulating my thoughts better than I did .

So...who was aggressive for the show than?

I dunno. Bouhanni was quite agressive.

I dont think they're going to fill that stadium. Already we're into the top 10 and its not even half full.

Plenty of people at the side of the road though.

Contador got a nice reception there.

Naesen and Latour both fell.

I thought they sold 67k tickets

Bouhanni deserves more than a jersey he deserves a jacket, a straight jacket :lol:

Joking of course..

Re:

That interview with Thomas de Gendt is the most painful thing I've seen in a very long time.

I missed it. How was it?

 

[deValtos]

That descent is pretty sketchy, claiming a large number of riders.

Re:

What does a rider have to do to win that prize? Apparently it's not for the most combative but for the most attacking french rider. 2015 and 2017 results were a joke.

 

[Red Rick]

Meintjes looked terrified of having no wheel to follow there.

 

[silvergrenade]

Lets see how Bertie goes...
Top 10 is possible I think

Isn't it free?

Who got it in 2015?

He's got over 5 minutes down to Caruso in the GC, so top 10 is pretty certain.
He's got a pretty good change to overtake Barguil, though.

Bardet I think, but not 100%

I dont know why no one seems to be getting out of the saddle on this climb. Grinding doesnt seem the most efficient method.

Disgraceful that Barguil won the combativity award. We all know Uran would have won it if he had a different colour passport

Few people like doing that on a TT bike. Just wait for Contador to get there.

Indeed

Sagan deserved it more that year IMO, with four consecutive breakaways.

I meant Top 10 today..

It wasn't bad, it was godawful. The Super Combatif had already been announced for a good twenty minutes, when the reporter brought it up with de Gendt, saying that he, according to some very credible sources, had a very good chance to win it this year.
