Tour de France 2020 | Stage 14 (Clermont-Ferrand - Lyon, 194 km)

[roundabout]

I think they wanted to make sure that Sagan himself survives

And probably Oss and Pöstlberger would be needed

 

[Red Rick]

Any word on where Ewan is?

Any word on where Ewan is?

He was dropped fairly early, be surprised if he wasn't at least a couple of minutes behind Bennett.

Any word on where Ewan is?

Some 9 minutes behind Küng, together with Kluge.

He’s six minutes behind Bennett group

 

[Salvarani]

They making sure there is no rest today

Super fast day

 

[Rollthedice]

Green is the new yellow.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Not sure if a night goes by when the SBS television coverage doesn't ignore the actual race for a while to reminisce about Cadel winning the Tour. God help us Aussie viewers next year when it's the ten year anniversary!

 

[SafeBet]

Latour abandons. Not the best couple of days for Ag2r.

 

[spalco]

The Quicksteppers aren't really catching up to the peloton so far.

Any word on where Ewan is?

On a French country road.

In a TTT they should be better. The problem is there's another cote just ahead of the riders.

Yeah it’s a delicate balance they have to find, not killing Bennett

 

[Salvarani]

Bad news for Sagan. Pöstlberger puncture

 

[Leinster]

On a French country road.

Rhone-Auvergne, mountain mama, take me home, country roads

 

[johnymax]

CCC helping right now

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Sagan looks cooked too

 

[Eclipse]

Just loving how relentless Bora are being - not much fun for guys who want to be in the breaks but it's made for some really interesting dynamics on the road and days like this are a lot more watchable.

I suspect we'll see sunweb try and capitalise on the matches Bora have burnt later on and there will be plenty more attacks in the last 60k

 

[BlueRoads]

I could imagine van Aert would love a win against Sagan today...

 

[SafeBet]

CCC helping Bora now. Gap close to 2 minutes.

Great stage so far and probably full gas to the finish.

 

[roundabout]

Looks like everything worked out pretty well for Bora and now it should be up to Sagan to finish the job.

Disappointing that there were no attacks between the sprint and the start of Beal

 

[tobydawq]

Bora will do what they did on stage 7.

And CCC will help them.

So, anything else you want to know?

Latour abandons. Not the best couple of days for Ag2r.

He hadn't seemed right all tour. Forgot he was even there until this morning

I said before, this is the risk Bora are taking with this. Having CCC to help them will make it easier, but it will be hard to control breaks over the final 10-15km if they burn all their matches for 120kms.

I guess he hung on for Bardet's sake?
