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

[broppo]

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

yeah but they wont push on the downhill now, i doubt any team will want to go crazy to reduce the gap of 5 minutes.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

I thought Sagan had blown up but no, Cosnefroy's yoyoing all over the place. Should Pöstleberger be back supporting Sagan? If Sagan's close enough to the front part way up the Col d'Eze he'll be very hard to beat whether the peloton catches them or not.

The bunch can push harder now when Kristoff dropped.

 

[skippo12]

Two Cat 1 climbs and Tony Martin is pacing the peleton. Is this 2011?

I thibk this one is for break

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[SarahtheDane]

As a dane, I have had a feeling since yesterday that a dane will win the stage today. Are we thinking Asgren has a legit shot at winning if the breakaway stays in front?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

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

Why wouldn't you sponsor protective equipment?

 

[perico]

Amador dropped

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Where is/was the Sprint Point?

 

[hayneplane]

If he doesn’t crack in the last 800 metres we might just see a daredevil descent from Sagan to try to regain contact with the front of the race

 

[Faserr]

Do you mean green jersey sprint? At 16km.

 

[Red Rick]

They're not climbing fast

They're just sprinting to the foot of the descent.

 

[sir fly]

I thibk this one is for break

The Yellow jersey is up for grabs.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

5 minutes? It's like 2 and a half minute.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Cool mountain sprint!

 

[broppo]

perfect set up for alaphilippe now

 

[JosephK]

Peloton now only 2 minutes back.

 

[RedheadDane]

It's tight for the dots!

 

[Alexandre B.]

The TV director has a boner with Sagan doing uninteristing things.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

I was thinking the same thing.

I was going to say Pöstleberger got absolutely mugged by Simon Yates last time he was in this position but no that was Mühlberger. Wrong Austrian. Anyway the break will have to ride a lot harder if they want to stay away now.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Cosnefroy and Perez are equal on mountain points and both 10 seconds back on GC, so first over the line today gets the polka dots!

 

[70kmph]

Sagan gave Bora a few million in revenue over the climb

Keeping the Austrian "bergers" apart. That's like trying to keep the German "manns" apart... Does Bora have some weird love of riders with suspiciously similar names? At least they didn't get Zimmermann...

 

[bassano]

It is a pitty that they did not raced today, I expected more after yesterday. Very nice mountain stage wasted. Probably noone of GC riders believe in himself
