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

[Lequack]

Wout saving himself for tomorrows ITT win.

 

[trevim]

Poor Cavagna, a day alone at front and just when he's spent, the best rouleurs of the peloton just casually go off the front without him

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Van Avermaet will definitely attack closer to the finish

there’s ten plus guys there who will do so. Anyone not named Bennett, Sagan or Trentin or working for them who is happy to let this group arrive together needs a full brain transplant

 

[Volderke]

DQS won't react if GvA or Naessen or Stuyven or Kragh Andersen or Rowe go. They can take points away from Sagan.

Michelton will probably help Sagan to close gaps to go for the sprint.

 

[richwallone]

Sagan will bring back his Richmond WC win and escape on the downhill at 5K

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Kragh doing no work at all, seems Arnt is riding for him.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Pretty sure this is better than Col de La Loze and Glieres.. and thats pretty sad

it’s just been consistently that way all Tour really. GC is the dull bit. Give me those exciting... eh... sprinters? every day

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Yes ofcourse. Went out for a bike ride since after the Cavagnaing assuming nothing happened before last 5K.
And now coming back to this!? What the heck has happened? Yes, assumed sprinters continued at intermediate, right? But bet nobody predicted that outcome.

It usually is.

The intermediate sprint indeed continued, but they got caught.

This group was established when nobody was out in front.

 

[Volderke]

Coquard, Hagen, Hoffstetter: Chasse patate.

no they did continue after the sprint, then sat up. Then they all attacked again later, t he beautiful headcases

(edited to add: beaten to it)

 

[trevim]

Trentin!

Bike racing at 50kmh in being more exciting than bike racing at 15kmh shocker.

 

[Lequack]

It usually is.

Yes people keep forgetting that it's usually even worse, I remember Tours where there was a whole first week of sprint stages with no chance for breakaways.

 

[SarahtheDane]

Søren Kragh has the same odds of winning as Sagan, (betting site).

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Here goes sunweb

 

[richwallone]

Trentin... WTH!!! Too far away...

 

[Pirazziattacks]

3rd in the Green comp attacks, closed down by 2nd and 1st. Crazy scenes. Probably the best racing of the Tour tbh.

 

[bob.a.feet]

This Tour has been a strange mix of absolutely terrible stages and genuinely great stages.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Sunweb again

 

[Volderke]

Those who want to win the stage should react now.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

DQS won’t chase anyone except Sagan or Trentin.

 

[richwallone]

And there goes the stage winner!!!

 

[burning]

He might be gone again, this guy knows when to fire his shot.
