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

[Bonimenier]

I'd like to see mma between Sagan and van Aert. You know Sagan would crush him at that too.

Too?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Sagan is definitely not surviving Suc au May if the racing is starting already.

Higuita cooked

Since last week...

I'd like to see mma between Sagan and van Aert. You know Sagan would crush him at that too.

They are really similarly matched in terms of weight and height surprisingly, not sure what the difference in reach is.

I would guess Sagan has been in more fistfights than Van Aert though, I would definitely give him the advantage.

 

[fuiers]

Weird scenes. Riders launching themselves like in training.

 

[Leinster]

Bora closed the break too soon.

They just want to make sure that Sagan has more than a handful of points to sprint for. If they get the full (50 for this stage?) would be nice, but even if there's a top 5 spot to get, just to pull back 20ish on Bennett would be a reasonable return for the day.


But the way this is going it looks like there's going to be 20 or so guys up the road. Bora must reckon they can reel a lot of them in on the roads after the last climb.

 

[Simurgh]

The stage is taking an interesting turn now

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Benoot doesn't have it today, couldn't keep Kraghs wheel when Soler accelerated.

He was last in the peloton on that last climb. Not looking good.

 

[Laplaz]

Hirschi?

 

[roundabout]

ok, probably Sagan doesn't make it over the next climb

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Soler 40km solo?

 

[Leinster]

Sagan on the tail of the bunch on the easier first climb.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Sunweb are class this Tour. Rooting for Hirschi again.

 

[ppanther92]

3 Sunweb riders, one of them Hirschi

 

[Leinster]

Benoot doesn't have it today, couldn't keep Kraghs wheel when Soler accelerated.

He doesn't need to have it, himself and Kragh are there to set up Hirschi.

 

[ppanther92]

But no organisation at all in the peloton. Whats going on?

 

[Pirazziattacks]

3 Sunweb riders, one of them Hirschi

There's another one in the second group as well.

 

[fuiers]

Alaphillippe in that chasing group?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Difficult for Sunweb, the 3 others will soon refuse to take turns.

 

[ppanther92]

De Marchi called back to ride for GvA or Trentin.

 

[Leinster]

Now Jungels is working to put as many bodies between 1st place and Sagan as possible.

 

[Leinster]

Difficult for Sunweb, the 3 others will soon refuse to take turns.

They want to get Hirschi to the steep part of the Suc au May. He might be able to make it solo from there, or even if he can 2-up with Soler. Then Soler will be committed to work in case Benoot and/or Kragh catch up.


Isn't Kragh supposed to be a pretty fast descender?

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Jungels seems to be catching the first group by himself.
