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

Van Avermaet so dumb

And Naesen also but he has no racing instinct whatsoever so not suprised.

 

[Valv.Piti]

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

Yes, but the intermediate stages have been really, really good this year I feel.

 

[SarahtheDane]

I love this type of attack! He's quickly becoming a favourite rider of mine, and that has nothing to do with him being danish!

 

[Finn84]

Very rarely we've seen rider who is not a sprinter and not a GC rider to win two stages in one year. Let's see if Kragh Andersen can do that.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

No way Andersen doesn't win this.

Lame finale. What were the others thinking when he went?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Bennett in the group is the perfect accidental ally for Kragh. DQS won’t chase him, others much less likely to do so if Bennett is sitting on.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Man, if Kragh takes his 2nd this Tour I’ll be over the moon

 

[spalco]

The Kraghen is released again?

 

[TomLPC]

Have they really let this guy go again

 

[Valv.Piti]

Lame finale. What were the others thinking when he went?

They thought, oh well, lots of these classics type stages left.

 

[Juan Pelota]

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

What site has live betting?

 

[titan31]

These lads are muppets. Multiple teams there with multiple men and none chase.

 

[Sciatic]

Sunweb timing is impeccable this whole tour.

 

[Billie]

Van Avermaet, Naesen en Stuyven all three complaining about Bora and fight for green fcking up all their chances...

SKA showed them twice lel

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Lame finale. What were the others thinking when he went?

Seriously dude, how can you call this lame?

It’s full on action.

 

[jsem94]

It's over, lmao

 

[SarahtheDane]

I'm calling it now, Stuyven to win

 

[SarahtheDane]

What site has live betting?

danskespil.dk

The odds for Søren now is 1,10 though

 

[Berflamand]

How the hell were Van Avermaet, Naesen and/or Stuyven not immediately on his wheel?? They can't really expect DQS to chase? Or any other team with Bennett in the weels?

 

[BlueRoads]

Lame finale. What were the others thinking when he went?

DQS, Sagan and CCC only looking at each other, MS thinking they are not as strong as DQS and Trentin/Avermaet, the single guys thinking the two-guys teams should ride

 

[trevim]

Lame finale. What were the others thinking when he went?

Van Avermaet was looking around for someone to do the work, probably training for the classics already

 

[spalco]

I think Kragh's got this.

Absolute bunch of morons in that break group.

 

[tobydawq]

Seriously dude, how can you call this lame?

It’s full on action.

It isn't at all. It was until he went solo but then we just get sixteen kilometres solo without any doubt whatsoever who will win.

 

[Salvarani]

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

Hard profiles/mountains makes everyone afraid to blow themselves up and lose everything. It becomes a race of not cracking or dropping. Not attacks and more attacks.

I think people expectations that mountains means a lot of action is false. When in reality it is about riding smart and not have a bad day. Take advantage when an opponent is having a bad day, and try when you feel you are having a good day. If you need to gain back time or put more time into your rivals.

The fact is everyone are on their limit most of the time in the high mountains and the accelerations costs a lot.

I also see a lot people wanting attacks. They get it, but the rider dont succeed and they immediately starts questioning it. Hypocrites.

"Easier" stages could be more fun because attacking, doesnt cost as much. You can sustain the attack and pace for a longer period of time. Instead of a quick acceleration and then having to immediately slow down. Find a rhythm. On a super hard stage.
