Tour de France 2020 | Stage 2 (Nice Haut Pays - Nice, 186 km)

[perico]

How far back had Powless dropped back. He wasn’t too far from the top when he dropped

 

[bob.a.feet]

Roche got 5 points at the top. Either he's decided he's going for the KOM, or Sunweb are completely running out of ideas for this race.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Rigo it is then. Damn

I think that Higuita was always EF's best chance at a high GC placing.

 

[Simurgh]

Valverde mechanical

 

[BlueRoads]

As it's not van Aert leading on the descent I suppose they are riding for him at least in half.

"There's Pogacar eating the rider from UAE"

Ned Boulting needs punctuation.

 

[perico]

Mountain Martin and TT Martin still in.
Classic Martin dropped

Dan was dropped at the start of Col d’eze. He’s way back. Forgot about Guillaume.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Valverde flat tyre.

 

[Lequack]

Yes today has to be for Wout van Aert.

 

[perico]

Valverde mechanical

Sh*t. Oliveira was still in front so they shouldn’t need to sacrifice the young guns (with rubber bullets since the restart).

 

[CTQ]

Only 4 Ineos in the lead group.

Had this been last year, the whole team would still be there.

Amador and Sivakov crashed twice each yesterday...

 

[Simurgh]

FDJ at the very back as expected..

 

[Breezy1985]

Forgot about Guillaume.

Everyone did. Thats the plan

 

[Simurgh]

Valverde has almost caught the peloton..yeah he’s back

 

[Ted Striker]

Bala back on

 

[RedheadDane]

Everyone did. Thats the plan

Too many Martins to keep track of.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

"There's Pogacar eating the rider from UAE"

Ned Boulting needs punctuation.

Cannibalism is certainly frowned upon in the peloton!

 

[Simurgh]

Valverde mechanical yet again

 

[Oliver]

Valverde back on his own bike

 

[shalgo]

Lemond and Hinault retired too!

But not Rebellin.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Valverde just had his 2nd puncture in 30 minutes

 

[Breezy1985]

Did a fan just hit Bala?

 

[Breezy1985]

Did a fan just hit Bala?

Puncture 2?

 

[jaylew]

I think that Higuita was always EF's best chance at a high GC placing.

I'm still thinking it's
Martinez
Uran
Higuita

I don't see Higuita as a GC threat in this Tour but I could be pleasantly surprised.

 

[Gigs_98]

Oof, that's a lot of fans...
