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

Why does de Gendt go all in here, when there is hardly a chance the break goes through?
Do they expect Ewan to fall out of the time limit today while before they had hope?

I guess when you've pushed hard to get 15-20 seconds it's hard to just let go instead of hoping others will catch up and help a bit.

Kamna or Skujins should go into KOM jersey after Madeleine before Roglic or Pogacar take it for good

I'm just surprised he showed more will o go today than in any other day. But maybe it's still about the green? I'm suspecting Alaphilippe and Declercq went because of the sprint as well.

Greipel already dropped. Thats going to hurt...

 

[Salvarani]

Kämna

 

[Finn84]

Ewan and Greipel dropped from the peloton in uncategorized climb.

Ewan too. But they will probably come back on the flat leading to the climb with Ewan's teammates.

 

[Salvarani]

Great group this

 

[ppanther92]

Great group this

But rather small and no teammates who drive the pace till the climb.

 

[Amazinmets87]

Greipel and Ewan already dropped? Yikes...

 

[roundabout]

Guess Bora don't want to chase Kämna

 

[Finn84]

It's quite surprising that climb is not categorized. Could easily be 4th.

Were did he say that,?

in Het Nieuwsblad today

I would love to see all the sprinters make it to Paris but it's really not looking good for Ewan

Kudos to Alaphilippe for his persistence even though he knows with his condition he'll never win today.

Every climb is a *** for Ewan at the moment

I don't get Alaphilippe. Does he just want tv-time? Is he training for the Worlds? Can't he help himself? Or will he drop after the sprint?

 

[pink_jersey]

Any idea why? He was looking good.

Focusing on worlds ITT

He's always putting on a show. I still laugh about his tactics yesterdat where he followed Carapaz attack and looked as badass as ever only to blow 30s later They guy is hilarious. It's like his ego doesn't let him go sometimes. Still, the guy is a real champ and one of the best characters in the peloton and one of the most offensive riders in the last years.

I hope fo Landa

Ewan too. But they will probably come back on the flat leading to the climb with Ewan's teammates.

No teammates and already 2,5 min down.
Tour finished for Ewan.
Sagan has a small chance to be on the podium in Champ Elysees. It would be very frustrating for him to be beaten by WVA.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Impey in trouble, he needed another couple of riders to link up with him. Now he’s losing ground to the front 5 and the peloton have stopped riding.

Jumbo blocking the road again

Yeah sure looks blocked to me. They are not even in front rn.
