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

DQS should just ride Ewan OOT on stage 16.

I guess, if they want to win in Paris

That’s it, Jumbo isn’t interested to pull this escape back for some bonus seconds for Roglic. The winner will come from this escape...

You decided when they hit 9 minutes?

Shcachmann shakes his head a lot. He looks like he's constantly disappointed or else his DS keeps asking him questions.

 

[Red Rick]

Right on schedule to miss GC action cause breakaway dudes

You decided when they hit 9 minutes?

Nah, I kind of knew it but was hoping for some more action from other GC teams to revive the peleton, however illogical and futile my hopes were...

Sam and him are mates... Doubt he'd want to do that.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

New grupetto forming

 

[BertiewasbetterthanFroome]

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...

Agreed he reached for his head after the collapse

 

[BlueRoads]

I think Barguil will win this stage. But I am hoping for Martínez or Kämna.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

As usual, Dan Martin doing waaaay too much work in the break

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Fast forward to a rider saying the peloton took it easy because there's been a lot of hard racing recently. Hard racing or hardly racing? No one's going to beat the jumbo train by soft pedalling most of the way to Paris.

 

[Lequack]

Finishing climb from the air

 

[Breezy1985]

Sam and him are mates... Doubt he'd want to do that.

This tour has been hard enough already and given the year that's in it I don't think anyone should be trying to ride someone out of the race.

If Sam wants to beat Ewan he should do it on the streets of Paris

 

[bob.a.feet]

Ineos take to the front.

No GC rider was going to get away on the first cat. 1 climb, and until the steep cat. 2 they are hitting in a bit, there has been no terrain in which a GC rider could attack, without getting reeled in.

I think you are asking for too much

 

[gregrowlerson]

Ineos take to the front.

Finally some grenades being potentially unpinned.

 

[richwallone]

EF Education has the worst looking helmets in the peleton... They look like a cheap $€£40 mushroom cap

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Chessman making his move

 

[richwallone]

Schachmann!!! GO GO GO

They should hit up Nintendo for a Mario Kart sponsorship

 

[BertiewasbetterthanFroome]

Prediction: new yellow tonight

 

[richwallone]

Alanphillipe doesn’t like it. Put Cavagna on front to keep it in check...

 

[huangho]

That road is too small for main group

A long range attack here was extremely unlikely of course. But was someone at least trying to make it hard a bit earlier too much to ask? It's as if all the other GC teams are too timid to do anything other than leave it to Jumbo and Ineos.
