Tour de France 2020 | Stage 17 (Grenoble - Méribel Col de la Loze, 170 km)

After yesterday, can we start calling Kamna, Karma?

 

[RedheadDane]

Alaphilippe. I could try to drop Gigs but he's done nothing wrong.

He's apparently watching!

 

[Brumdog66]

MAL takes the stage Pog takes yellow

How about calling him Kämna?

 

[Luthor]

I guess Roglic isn't happy with just one win.

 

[gregrowlerson]

He's apparently watching!

The problem is that with covid, there are no gigs on, so that leaves gigs....on the forum.

Actually I have no idea if our absent hero even likes live music, but I enjoy my word play.

Alaphilippe. I could try to drop Gigs but he's done nothing wrong.

Gigs knows the unwritten forum rules of not watching any race live!

 

[Luthor]

Kämna gained a lot on Carapaz on the flatter part, no?

Kamna is going for the KOM points on Mad, not for the win.

 

[Gargamel35]

I guess Roglic isn't happy with just one win.

I think he wants another shot at it. Being first on this stage is also a very good thing for overall lead (If Pogačar isn't right on his wheel or beats him for the finish...again.).

 

[gregrowlerson]

How about calling him Kämna?

Fair point. I need to set up my German keyboard. That has more dots than the KOM.

 

[johnymax]

Don't forget it is the last Giro winner out there in the break. You give him 6min of headstart and it won't be an easy task to get him back.

 

[Valv.Piti]

My favourite climb in the Alps, lets go!

(...apart from Alpe d' Huez, please dont crucify me - its a La Marmotte-thing)

 

[gregrowlerson]

Gigs knows the unwritten forum rules of not watching any race live!

But like Contador with chaingate, we can be happy with him watching once, right?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Please somebody, anybody, do something on the Madeleine

 

[ngent41]

one of the eurosport commentators needs to stop breathing into the mic so loud.

Hopefully. It's the ten year anniversary of Schleck, Contador and Navarro doing plenty.

I don't bother to write Pogacar and Roglic right... or Morkov... hope they are okay with it... I guess Kaemna would be okay, too... or you just call him Lennard.

One of the Bahrain riders was emptying himself a bit so maybe a prelude

 

[Vino's Mum]

Please somebody, anybody, do something on the Madeleine

It’s happening...

"Grand tour cycling at its best is not sex. It's even better." - Red Rick, probably.

 

[70kmph]

Wild man Kamna, beast

 

[Flamin]

That's kinda like hoping something will happen in a pancake flat stage without wind though.

Outside Pogacar, I don't even expect much from Loze either.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Oh yeah, that stage was great. Dani Navarro was a beast that day.

Hard side Madeleine, 2nd last mountain stages and this is the expectation. Yep, thats the Tour

The poor French are so desperate. Front page on latour.com is “Alaphilippe wins intermediate sprint” in big bold letters. Lololo
