Tour de France 2020 | Stage 18 (Méribel - La Roche-sur-Foron, 175 km)

[roundabout]

That's a big main group and 6 Jumbos still there

 

[titan31]

Too many jumbo there. Going to be hard for any GC action with that

 

[happytramp]

Why is Sagan on his own?

 

[roundabout]

Not sure why Bahrain are working so much so early

 

[Red Rick]

Not sure why Bahrain are working so much so early

Rome wasn't built in a day

Similarly

Landa cannot be freed in a day

 

[Eclipse]

7 mins for Ewan? Well he's surely done

 

[fuiers]

Not sure why Bahrain are working so much so early

This reminds me of Giro last year where Movistar dominated the stage and Landa made his move and Carapaz dropped Nibali and Roglic.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Rolf Soerensen saying, that Caruso would not be pulling hard in the break, if he was there to win the stage, so he expect Landa to try something again today.

Question of course is if he can.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Looking at Greipel and Cavendish I can’t help thinking that Kittel had the right idea in just walking away when he couldn’t cut it anymore.

 

[Red Rick]

7 mins for Ewan? Well he's surely done

Probably makes back a few minutes in the descent tho

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Gesink is the old Poels

Thats quite sure. They are definitely pulling for another Landa disappointment.

British ES is speculating they are trying to make the Jumbots power themselves out in the chase.

 

[fuiers]

Lol KOM fight

 

[Eclipse]

Hirschi keeps impressing

 

[Forever The Best]

Carapaz vs Hirschi. Nice.

 

[DenisMenchov]

We need a live KOM standings after every cole today

 

[spalco]

Yes Hirschi! Very happy he's going for it.

 

[ppanther92]

Hirschi now with 41, Carapaz 40.

 

[Red Rick]

If they split the points too much today Roglic or Pogi will just take it on PdbF

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Probably makes back a few minutes in the descent tho

The issue is that he needs to make the minutes on the grupetto and they will also be doing very fast descents.

 

[DenisMenchov]

If they split the points too much today Roglic or Pogi will just take it on PdbF

But Carapaz can save all the power just for the climb in the TT. The two of them need to go full gas for the flat before the PdBF.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Hirschi going for another long-range attack?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Chis Anker saying Hirschi found a 100 k attack too short, the other day, so today he’ll try 125.....

 

[SafeBet]

Will Movistar start chasing to protect Bala's top10 when the gap goes over 3 minutes?
