Kristoff is gonna crush Turini for Aru obviously

Formolo

 

[skippo12]

Was Kristoff wearing a random yellow face mask or do they have an official one for the race leader?

Who'd be the sponsor of a mask?
COVID-19? Corona group?

I think they have an official one. After all they even have a dots mask and the podium giuys had masks fitting their outfits.

COVID-19? Corona family?

Bunch of clothing producers changing their producing-line to manufacturing masks.

(And I just changed my English to non-existant...)

 

[ngent41]

there's some video of him celebrating on the UAE bus, they brought their own yellow masks. Its got the UAE logos and what not

 

[Simurgh]

Dani Martinez mechanical

 

[Red Rick]

Designer masks

 

[Cassirer]

Sagan done for the day :/

 

[Red Rick]

I swear when deciding race tactics DSs only look at if it's the Tour de France and not the actual race profile.

 

[sir fly]

The breakaway upped the pace a bit it seems.
... Comparing to Colmiane.

Sagan hopes he'll be able to rejoin on the descent.

The Tour

21 stages where you can lose the Tour but can't win it, and everyone rides accordingly

 

[Faserr]

Nothing happens... Are they gifting the win to the break?

 

[Salvarani]

I realized why it is so miserable reading these threads during the race. Gonna just watch it without checking here.

 

[JosephK]

If the GC guys are going to take the day off, maybe Asgreen can win this stage?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

The Tour

21 stages where you can lose the Tour but can't win it, and everyone rides accordingly

Well, if you can lose the Tour, you can also win it.

 

[RedheadDane]

Imagine if Perez wins this. Probably not the guy Cofidis would have expected to be behind their first Tour stage win in a million years.

 

[Red Rick]

They're probably gonna casually give up an extra minute on the descent.

 

[Gigs_98]

I agree that the pace probably won't be so low that there will be a 150 men peloton on the Turini but I can totally see a group of, say, over 50 guys there. Now if someones condition is absolutely horrendous he could therefore still drop but if you are hurt from a crash or that sort of stuff you can usually just bite on your teeth go closer to your limit than you would usually like to and still remain in the peloton. It will take a proper effort to genuinely expose weaknesses and I'm unsure whether a team will make that.

Yeah...so about that...

 

[sir fly]

If the GC guys are going to take the day off, maybe Asgreen can win this stage?

Yes.
Yesterday's mess still feels.

 

[Red Rick]

Yeah...so about that...

I can't believe I fell for it.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yeah...so about that...

Don't you have something important to do? Sewing a tutu for your neighbour's goldfish, or something like that.

 

[broppo]

are they really letting the breakway win? what a waste for guys like alaphilippe and formolo

I mean, there is still a long way to go. 4 minutes on 90 kilometers is more than doable
