Tour de France 2020 | Stage 12 (Chauvigny - Sarran, 218 km)

[ThePirate81]

No chance for Sagan on Suc au May if Alaphilippe or Van Avermaet or Hirschi will attack.
I guess Bora is riding for Schachmann.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Shoulde be too easy for the GC guys

I would say so too based on the whole parcours, but there are time bonuses at the top of a 3.8 km at 7.8% hill. That’s certainly not too easy if they decide they want the time

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Zakarin out.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Poestlberger and Oss finally getting a bit of a break from pulling. Long day for the two of them. Although now that CCC are pulling the pace has dropped

 

[roundabout]

I would guess that CCC would want a controlled run-in instead of chaos in the last 25km (I don't know if they actually have riders who can get over the climb close enough to the best apart from GVA)

 

[Cinemaniak]

Jumbo's timing to get the leaders jersey couldn't be more perfect.

 

[Cinemaniak]

Why is CCC working?

Forgot about Trentin's exploits to Gap last year?

 

[roundabout]

I indeed did.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Is Agreen trying to go solo with 105 k to go?

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Forgot about Trentin's exploits to Gap last year?

I remember. Asgreen was in that breakaway, too. And now he is gapping to both GVA and Trentin

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Why is CCC working?

Working for Trentin and Great van Avermaet

 

[Red Rick]

Yeah CCC working is pretty logical

 

[BlueRoads]

On that photo Poulidor looks so much like van der Poel.

 

[Velolover2]

This looks much tougher than on the full profile because of the descent and milder final 700 m. If Jumbo wanted to gain more bonus seconds, they could go full gas on this one. 10 easy bonus seconds for Roglic.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Yeah CCC working is pretty logical

It certainly makes more sense than having Trentin go all in for 5th place in the competition for green.

 

[BlueRoads]

Alaphilippe
Pinot
Bardet
...
no mention of Martin

I for one can't wait for the fnial ITT cause we might get the first stage where Roglic and Bernal don't finish s.t.

First 2,5 km up to downhill section. Is that way more tougher than Mur de Bretagne? Sagan was able sprint there in his prime years. He could hang in there with reasonable gap.

Mur de Bretagne is only 10% for like 800% or so then the 2nd km is 4% with even less at the finish

 

[BlueRoads]

either Roglic wants this or van Aert wins...

 

[Red Rick]

Why not both?

 

[Breh]

Zakarin

Let's hope he can race La Vuelta!

 

[BlueRoads]

Why not both?

True

 

[Red Rick]

Yeah at this rate it's a pretty simple effort on the cat 2 climb to catch the break and take the bonuses.
