Tour de France Tour de France 2020 | Stage 10 (Ile d’Oleron / Le Chateau d’Oleron) – Île de Ré / Saint-Martin-de-Ré, 168,5 km

[perico]

Even the Comcast sports ticker on my tv refers to Roglic as “former ski jumper” leading the TdF

Congrats to Sam Bennett, but pretty good sprint by Sagan too.

 

[BlueRoads]

Bennett must be so relieved.

 

[Eclipse]

Happy for Bennett. A good couple of inches clear.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Jesus, Mads Pedersen got 5th...... he was at the back of the peloton with Porte with 2,5 k to go?

 

[sir fly]

Congrats to Bennett.
A rewarding stage for him.

Not a bad stage at all.

 

[Simurgh]

Finally Bennett got it, congrats. A positive surprise is to see Gorilla Greipel 6th! And Viviani showing some promise after a meagre year, to say the least

 

[BlueRoads]

Viviani 4th, Greipel better than before.

Who's in green?

 

[Valanga]

Who's in green?

Bennett

 

[Leinster]

Nice one, Sam. Great leadout by Quickstep.


Have to feel a bit sorry fo the Sunweb lads, Doing all the work for these sprints, and Bol manages all of 8th place.

 

[tobydawq]

Very bad timing from Ewan. He should have won that.

 

[SafeBet]

Bennett so emotional. You can feel he'd been waiting for this win since forever.

 

[Gigs_98]

Was rooting for Ewan but Bennett winning a stage is very nice as well. That must be such a huge relieve. Being the main man for the best sprinter team and not winning in the first week must have created so much pressure.

 

[fuiers]

So Bennett now has a win in every GT? Well done.

 

[Leinster]

Bennett is now the 2nd ever Irishman to win stages in all 3 Grand Tours. The first was Shay Elliott (1960 Giro, 62 & 63 Vuelta, 63 Tour).

Sam's getting a bit emotional.

 

[movingtarget]

Ewan was in the perfect position but Bennett was too strong. Better sprint by Sagan.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Nice one, Sam. Great leadout by Quickstep.


Have to feel a bit sorry fo the Sunweb lads, Doing all the work for these sprints, and Bol manages all of 8th place.

Still they must feel better than Bora did after the wasted effort on stage 7.

 

[Netserk]

Very bad timing from Ewan. He should have won that.

Nah, didn't really gain much when he was out in the wind. He needed to be the one who had the leadout to win today.

 

[tobydawq]

Nah, didn't really gain much when he was out in the wind. He needed to be the one who had the leadout to win today.

To me it looked like he got up next to Bennett quite quickly?

 

[fuiers]

Just watched the replay. Benny showed earlier how long of a win hell get.

 

[movingtarget]

Great bike throw by Ewan got him closer but I think he just ran out of legs.

 

[titan31]

I really hate Eisel. He talks some nonsense

 

[Gigs_98]

That replay made me laugh. There is a sunweb guy still at the front with like 250 meters, he finishes his leadout, pulls to the right, looks behind and realizes Bol isn't on his wheel. And not only isn't he not on his wheel, Bol somehow mentioned to go from positioned in front of Ewan and Sagan to not even being in a position to contend the sprint within 100 meters. The guy just looks down and slides back into the main bunch.

 

[BlueRoads]

To me it looked like he got up next to Bennett quite quickly?

Yes, but I think he had to do a lot of work by himself already before the real sprint. Hardly any Lottos left. Could have timed it even better but the conditions were far from perfect from him.
