Tour de France 2020 | Stage 20 ITT (Lure - La Planche des Belles Filles, 36.2km)

If Cavagna ends up winning this, I’ll have to eat my words yesterday, about how dumb it was for him to do a long range attack

If Cavagna ends up winning this, I'll have to eat my words from right now where I'll say he's never winning lol

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Danish TV reporting a lot of botched bike changes.

I wonder why the Tour has no cameras in the zone where they change?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Did that little smile from Kragh mean, that he is going for it today?

Wishful thinking

If he did it as training yesterday and not for the actual stagewin, i'm sure he knew what numbers he had to push not to ruin his chances today?

I’d be quite happy to be proven wrong, it will teach me something new about cycling

Sees Kragh taking off

Nah Sam sorry mate I gotta save me energy for the ITT tomorrow

Chris Juul saying he thinks Mads Pedersen can win tomorrow..... without being prompted to talk about him.

Personally I’d be shocked, but it would be epic, on his last race day in the jersey, on Champs Elysees.

I would really wish this for him. It's such a shame that he hasn't gotten to ride in his rainbow jersey that much. It would be beatiful with a win on the Champs Elysees.

Now we'll see what a 2nd hand pair of legs is worth.

 

[Luthor]

So Sivakov is supposed to be a future GC contender?

It is odd to think about, that if a climber wins it, he gets to ride 2 Giros is the jersey, and if a puncheur takes it, he gets to ride 2 classics seasons it in.

Yes, but you can’t perform in a Tour, where you injure yourself early, and then constantly crash to compound the injuries.

~Wout Poels, after setting 4th time

Sky - marginal gains
Bahrain - maximum gains

A little off topic note: Just catching up on the podcast with Johann Bruyneel... He is funny: Sam Bennett will follow Sagan on the last stage to Paris, after the stage, to his hotel room, always having him in sight

I thought he'd do well today cause on the final climb he wouldn't need his *** *** brakes.

 

[SafeBet]

Looking at the gaps and being a devote follower of #Landismo, I won't completely rule out Dumoulin overtaking Landa today.

I don’t think we can judge his true potential right now.

You get way more tired riding a Tour injured, because you sit on the bike differently, and use your muscles differently, to compensate for the pain/discomfort.

That was Devenyns with Bennett though...

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Man, TT days are always incredibly boring.

3 minute gaps right?

4 position difference?

3 x 4 = 12 minutes

Nah. No chance.

Just kidding. I agree with you. Big Tom has a shot at improving a number of positions today.

 

[Luthor]

Bauer might be OTL.

 

[BlueRoads]

Bauer might be OTL.

Because he exhausted himself yesterday fetching the bottles?

Until it gets to the last 10 riders on GC
