Tour de France 2019 stage 8 Mâcon - Saint-Étienne 200 km

[DanielSong39]

Astana is going for the stage win, clearly it's important to them.

 

[Samamba]

Yeah I jinxed it earlier. De Gendt and De Marchi are not making this now that EF joined the chase.
Gonna be an exciting final tho if Alaphilippe doesnt win this easily.

The race will pass close to the Kivilev roundabout near the finish.

The "great" Christophe Laporte has quit the race

I wonder what Bouhanni is thinking.

Was off the back on the first climb wasn't he?

 

[MartinGT]

Not Bouhanni. Laporte I mean

Probably that he was a good mentor for Laporte, considering he finished only 2 of the GTs he started.

Simon Yates dropped again
If the bunch can catch the breakaway it could be good for Van Aert.

G to win after Ineos does no work to bring the break back. :lol:

Obviously.

 

[HelloDolly]

Sagan and Matthews are both struggling

 

[Flamin]

Van Aert done for.

Standard

The other day when DQS were working on the front was mad. They should have said to Ineos its their responsibility.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

It would be interesting, if we see Astana and EF in an alliance on all the mountain stages.

It would throw off the expected Ineos dominance.

No

 

[Broccolidwarf]

LOL - Lutsenko just grabbed an Arkea bottle, before the guy could pull it away

It's Vino's birthday or why are Astana so lively?

they are going through the vino countryside

 

[DanielSong39]

Doesn't look like the break will make it

Assuming that EF has a strong team in the mountains, then perhaps - it is an assumption that I would really like to contest though! Besides, Uran isn't strong enough to be worth allying with for Fuglsang.

Nah... not the mood Vino's following today's stage in.

 

[Flamin]

Re:

I actually think they will.

 

[HelloDolly]

how about kwaito for today ?

If Ineos let him off the leash ??

 

[Wvv]

GVA still looking good. I'd be so very glad if he could snatch up a stage win here.
