Tour de France 2020 | Stage 1 (Nice - Nice, 156 km)

[Alexandre B.]

Is that right, Sivakov is in front of Alapoggio?

That's his bike on the team car.

 

[TomLPC]

Bernal is way behind with 1 teammate, TJV should be putting in a few testers with their lads on the front, none of this neutralisation nonsense

 

[Red Rick]

I'm not sure htis is gonna be a bunch sprint.

That descent coudl well be madness.

I'd rip the climb if I were Jumbo.

 

[BlueRoads]

Did Ala's material change significantly during the break?

 

[JosephK]

Bernal not looking well, either? What the [bleep]? The weather is throwing a spanner in the TDF on day 1.

 

[Red Rick]

So one wet descent and Jumbo is gonna do what Luke Rowe tells them to do?

The Stockholm Syndrome is strong.

 

[Faserr]

The final descent is not the same one. Don't know if that one is better.

Yeah, might even be a chance for the break (or another later break) if this weather continues.

 

[SafeBet]

Tony Martin doesn't want to be punched again probably.

 

[sir fly]

Well... unexpected twist in the tale.
To me at least.
Thought they all can handle soaked roads more-less equally.

 

[Red Rick]

So direction has missed that Dumoulin is way behind as well.

 

[ice&fire]

The final descent is not the same one. Don't know if that one is better.

It's further away from the finish.

 

[Ted Striker]

So direction has missed that Dumoulin is way behind as well.

Come on jumbo, attack

 

[spalco]

Has Alaphillipe overtaken Sivakov yet? He looks strong and motivated despite whatever happened to him.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Dumoulin well back for some reason, so no way Jumbo would be riding hard at the moment.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Offtopic, but, is Ineos actually serious about this ridiculous vehicle? What else could this guy do to say "*** you" to the environment, make the car run on liquified rhino horns?

I'm reliably told the car it's based off, the old Land Rover defender, was a series of terrible vehicle that fell apart all the time. Why anyone would want to start their own car company solely to recreate that I don't know. That's Musk level crazy.

 

[JosephK]

Dumoulin caught behind. Maybe explains TJV not pushing on.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Will Shitty Weather Mads be involved in the sprint?

 

[BlueRoads]

I'm constantly seeing riders at the back and have no idea what happened.

 

[JosephK]

Dumo back on.

 

[tobydawq]

Will Shitty Weather Mads be involved in the sprint?

Yes, he said they will be riding for him in the finale.

 

[JosephK]

Carlton Kirby having to carry the water solo for Eurosport (tech issues).

Cause people buy stuff solely based on shiny marketing.

 

[topcat]

Are they out of the neutral zone yet?
