Tour de France 2020 | Stage 16 (La Tour-du-Pin - Villard-de-Lans, 164 km)

[luckyboy]

You could already guess it from the parcours, but the mountain stages on this Tour have been so uneventful...

 

[Eclipse]

Peak bottle acceleration from Pog lol

 

[topcat]

Pog attacks to get a bottle. Jumbo brings him back

 

[huangho]

Kamna has this... 45" with less than 10k to go is enough!!

Fuglsang sprinting used to be like watching syrup drop off a spoon.

He has worked a LOT on gaining a little punch, in the last few years, but it used to be, that irrespective of the group, Fuglsang could never win a sprint, even against tiny climbers.

Kämna was a world class TTer in the junior ranks, he won the 2014 Mj WC and finished 3rd in his first year in the u23 ranks one year later. He was also always a good climber and only 65kg, that's why people always saw him as a potential gc rider.

I'll be very happy if Kämna wins, but I would be just as happy for Carapaz. Will be a nice outcome anyway.

Training ride for GC

 

[huangho]

I'll be very happy if Kämna wins, but I would be just as happy for Carapaz. Will be a nice outcome anyway.

But TBH Kämna deserves it a bit more...

 

[Bolder]

What's cool about the TdF is that almost every year we see some new stars emerging -- Hirschi, Kamna (plus his ride in the Dauphine) are fabulous riders, even when they haven't won they've been on the pointy end.

 

[Gigs_98]

Holy sh*t, Kämna is completely destroying Carapaz on the flat. Like, I expected him to stay away, but 1 minute over that stretch is a lot.

 

[Faserr]

1:10 min already

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic calling Nibali saying "look at me giving Carapaz 14 minutes"

 

[Bolder]

You could already guess it from the parcours, but the mountain stages on this Tour have been so uneventful...

Disagree, but can't argue with today's stage.

(Maybe not "exciting" but certainly not "uneventful")

Kamna has this... 45" with less than 10k to go is enough!!

As long as it is flat and he is 1 vs. 1 against Carapaz or Reichenbach, he will gradually increase the gap. Way more power than those climbers. He decides it when he dropped Carapaz.

ITT talent vs ITT disasterclass.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Kämna looks so smooth on his bike.

He's on fire. Carapaz isn't even going backwards Kamna's just a rocket

 

[BlueRoads]

But TBH Kämna deserves it a bit more...

True. But a stage win "for Ecuador" would have been nice, too.

 

[bob.a.feet]

I am quite sure this won't happen. Still a great rider.

We'll see...

 

[huangho]

Kämna destroyed this 20k TT!! Well done!

 

[Red Rick]

Carapaz attacking Bernal's GC position.

2019 Vuelta > 2019 Giro > 2019 Tour confirmed

 

[sir fly]

They couldn't take the points but Kämna makes a point with the stage.
Strong ride. Congrats.

 

[Rollthedice]

ITT talent vs ITT disasterclass.

That disasterclass put one minute and a half on false flat on Nibali and Roglic. Still giving me nightmares.

 

[bob.a.feet]

Cosnefroy's been in the polka dots for so long now, he should be allowed wear polka dot bands on his sleeves for the rest of his career.

 

[Eclipse]

Well done Kamna and well done to all of us for not having Kirby on commentary for it
