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

[Brullnux]

French people love their likable losers. I'm wondering if there isn't more acclaim in almost winning the Tour de France as a french cyclist, than actually doing it.

Nobody can know, no French cyclist wins it anymore

Do you expect anyone but the Jumbos to beat Cavagna's time?
Pogacar?

 

[Luthor]

Martinez in that outfit, I was like "Is Higuita back"

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Schachman also faster climb than Cavagan.

Sure do. Truck on the course in Luxembourg, coming from the opposite direction.

 

[SafeBet]

Current leaders on the climb:

Fraile 17'37"
De La Cruz 17'40"
Geschke 17'48"
Schachmann 17'49"
Cavagna 17'53"

I thought someone might go below 16' but I'm not sure anymore.

 

[Big Doopie]

this is basically the perfect length of effort for WvA. similar to cross.

 

[BlueRoads]

yeah, van Aert is going to smash it

 

[bob.a.feet]

The way Ned Boulting was talking about Quintana you wonder if he knows he's injured.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Television viewing wise, it's a good thing that Pinot is so far down in the standings as he will finish early, so at least we'll get to see coverage of most of the GC contenders.

 

[Krokro]

So I've been told that WVA will go full mayhem today?

 

[TomLPC]

I wonder if Kuss will really attack the steep part of that climb towards the end

 

[gregrowlerson]

So I've been told that WVA will go full mayhem today?

We'll know at the first time check. He 'looks' fast so far.

 

[Big Doopie]

according to tdf tracking soler is doing well.

 

[Big Doopie]

at least he seems to be keeping his distance with WvA...

 

[roundabout]

yeah, van Aert is going to smash it

live data says that he is slower than both QS

 

[Big Doopie]

actually that does seem to be switching to the advantage of the belgian...

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Carapaz on the flat

 

[burning]

Nobody can know, no French cyclist wins it anymore

Ouch, that hurts.

 

[richwallone]

So I've been told that WVA will go full mayhem today?

He'll be easily ahead of Cavagna at the first time check!!!

 

[Big Doopie]

He'll be easily ahead of Cavagna at the first time check!!!

dont think so.

 

[Simurgh]

Van Aert +40 secs at the intermediate

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Van Aert a lot slower than Cavagna after 14.5k
+39s

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Van Aert riding a human TT.

 

[richwallone]

Damn WVA only 3rd

 

[BlueRoads]

wow... is van Aert really a climber now or was Cavagna so amazing?
