Tour de France 2020 | Stage 13 (Châtel-Guyon - Puy Mary, 191.5 km)

Mollema was in the screen walking out of the bush, so he probably went "*** that wrist broken get in the car asap

 

[richwallone]

Sam Bennet is still in the main group?

Yep, even Ewan’s there thanks to the crash...

 

[RedheadDane]

If Bardet hit his head, I just hope someone keeps on eye on him in case he's got a serious concussion. The way he collapsed after first getting back on his feet was kind of worrying...

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

yeah looks like peloton slowed so much everyone got back including the Ewan group

Yep, even Ewan’s there thanks to the crash...

They did not get back at all. He's still minutes behind according to a guy on the motor who just bridged from Ewan to the peloton.

JV is playing with fire, EF seems to have something saved for Uran...

Yep, even Ewan’s there thanks to the crash...

But Bennet was there before the crash, I saw him!!

Yeah, he was, struggling but was there for quite some time.... Sorry for the confusion.

EF are locking the team classification. Uran won't attack.

 

[Tigerion]

Last gap I heard was over 3 minutes and Bardet group was only a minute behind once they got moving. Bennet was still in going over the last climb so I would still expect him to be there.
Not sure if Ewan got back, they probably had to slow for longer. Either way it will help

 

[Red Rick]

Ewan probably gonna finish like 25-30 minutes down today...

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

According to the data, Ewan now 45s behind the peloton.

Yep, they were leading it in the first week before Movistar took over... It looks more and more the break is going to make it to the finish....

 

[richwallone]

According to the data, Ewan now 45s behind the peloton.

I stand corrected then.

Edit: Nah, he is back... Just saw the live images of him at the back of the peleton

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Ewan just bridged.

 

[Tigerion]

Ok, Ewan just back

Lol

Bennett has been there all along, or more precisely since the early grupetto got back on ages ago.

Ewan has been minutes behind with two team mates and Ryan Gibbons all day. The race tracker disappeared that group when the peloton slowed to let Bardet and other crash victims back. However there’s now more reliable sounding info that the Ewan group is still chasing.

 

[Jagartrott]

According to the data, Ewan now 45s behind the peloton.

They'll bridge just as the road starts going up again.
But he'll survive today.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

lol except now he actually is back

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

Ok, Ewan just back

Now, if I were pedantic I would search this forum and look for the messages saying Frederik Frison was a worthless signing by Lotto that only got his contract because of his uncle. Fortunately for those users, I'm a lazy panda.

 

[perico]

Helped that the peloton eased off after crash.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I stand corrected then.

Edit: Nah, he is back... Just saw the live images of him at the back of the peleton

He wasn't when you claimed he was. The guy on the motor confirmed that he was still far behind when the computer said he was already back. Then the computer said 45s. And the live footage was of the moment he got back.

 

[huangho]

That speed sensor is not calibrated...

Lol

 

[Red Rick]

DQS should just ride Ewan OOT on stage 16.

 

[Red Rick]

Lol

I only end up right when I'm trolling.

The 9km between the top of that and the start of the steep part of Puy Mary will make attacking there pretty questionable

Yep. Good to see some scouts up ahead but the timing of when you drop back your advance domestiques will be tricky. Too early and they"ll get dropped on the Nerone, too late and any attacks will be neutralized. With no bonus seconds available it's hard to see this as anything but a mountain sprint but I'd love to be proven wrong.
