Tour de France 2020 | Stage 19 (Bourg-en-Bresse - Champagnole, 166.5 km)

Bora working for Sagan, Mitchelton for Mezgec and NTT for Boassen Hagen

This failed break shows once again how hard it is in this Tour to simply get into a succesful break. Some people only watching the final kms (not you on this forum) always ask why some riders don't go in the break, like it's a 100% sure choice you make.

It'd be funny if Bennett got into troubles and all Quickstep riders from breaks would be called back to help him get back on...

 

[LeChuck]

Jumbo working for WVA ?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Pogacar forcing Jumbo to reel in the break for Kristoff, by jumping across...... pretty smart

 

[Valv.Piti]

Sunweb with some lame tactics, Kragh Andersen simply has a better chance in a group of 4 than Bol in a group of 150.

 

[Volderke]

Ewan slightly dropped again.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Caleb KO

 

[richwallone]

Pretty much downhill from here...

 

[Leinster]

I think they did great on several occasions and basically controlled the whole stage, only to realize Sagan isnt the Sagan of 2016.

Well, Sagan's chain came off one time, he got relegated after getting boxed in another time, and they completely burned themselves off dropping Bennett another time, so he had no support in the final 3km into Lyon and had to try and lead out and win a bunch sprint solo. Even 2016 Sagan would've had trouble with all that.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

I cannot think of a worse job in the Tour, than being a Lotto Dom.

 

[Sciatic]

Attacks keep up all the way to the finish?

 

[F_Cance]

Sunweb killing all the groups bc 1 or 2 riders are not enough for them and they want a 3rd one in it.

 

[Volderke]

Sagan, Bennet... what are they thinking?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Most the sprinters are attacking now, cool race!

 

[richwallone]

Jumbo isn't interested to shut it down

 

[SarahtheDane]

See, if they are going in a break either way, it would have been better with the first one than this.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Mezgec and Bol in the 2nd group

 

[Valv.Piti]

Sagan 2016 would have won the jersey easily, its lazy to question his team.

 

[Volderke]

Still some bumps in the finale. This is a good race day.

 

[burning]

The peloton is giving up, the winner is in one of the front groups.

 

[Billie]

these guys are gone

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Calling it now, Kragh to attack with 2-3 k to go, and none of the sprinters want to spend themselves chasing him down

 

[RedheadDane]

So... it's gonna be between the sprinters... from the break?

 

[richwallone]

Hoping for Sagan or Avermaet to take it...
