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

Oh *** this. Very unlucky Hirschi.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Needs to drop Hirschi by a minute on the Glieres then.

Hirschi dropped himself
off the bike

Needs to drop Hirschi by a minute on the Glieres then.

Either that or he could help Kwiato.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yikes, Hirschi...

 

[Savant12]

Hirschi thinking he can lean the bike like a Moto GP rider.

 

[70kmph]

Hersheybar wipes out

 

[JosephK]

Hirschi crash intentional to get adrenaline rush.

 

[spalco]

Looks like he did absolutely nothing wrong there, just bad luck. Get them back with anger in your belly!

 

[Bardamu]

Not even a scratch on those shorts!

 

[richwallone]

Hirschi the jersey, Kwiatkowski the stage could be a fair deal.

(don't think they are actually making any such agreement though)

I wouldn’t mind Kwiato winning it but it’ll be really tough for him today though...

 

[Finn84]

Just from the ad break into pictures with Hirschi down. Reminds me of Ullrich crashing in 2001.

 

[Red Rick]

Even tension for one classification was too much for this Tour de France.

 

[richwallone]

Jeez, just got back from a piss break and Hirschi’s dropped

 

[roundabout]

And here's where the screwed up categorization may even have an effect

 

[Berflamand]

Unlucky with the fall yes but rather lucky there was a slightly uphill grass part to just 'graciously' slide onto and not a stone barrier or ravine.

 

[Red Rick]

Yeah Hirschi in full super tuck losing time on descent front group is moto pacing alright

 

[spalco]

Damn, what you guys think, should Hirschi keep pushing or fall back to the poursuivants and hope for the best?

 

[75Driver]

Not the best descent to be catching up. Lots of little bellies and tiny uphills scattered throughout

 

[spalco]

Yeah Hirschi in full super tuck losing time on descent front group is moto pacing alright

Kwiatkowski can ride downhill fast too.

 

[Brumdog66]

Huge Kwiat fan but no way does he make it over Gileres

 

[Red Rick]

Damn, what you guys think, should Hirschi keep pushing or fall back to the poursuivants and hope for the best?

It's 2 minutes, those guys won't see the front of the race again.

 

[titan31]

Hirschi ain't catching back up it looks like. About the only interesting thing from the stage is done for

 

[JosephK]

Nice move by Carapaz and Kwia. Most combative rider award to Ala again?

 

[Finn84]

Frison and Kluge are about three minutes behind gruppetto.

 

[bob.a.feet]

Fs looks like Ineos for the stage and the KOM.
