I think today I could keep up with the peleton, maybe even go on a break... What are they cruising at? Like 25kph?

All I know is that lot of times in Paris the win is taken by someone who is least predicted before the stage to take it.
“I’m angry and disgusted that no-one has shown solidarity with Kevin Reza”
Rob Hatch doesn't sound best pleased
So in true 2020 style, neither Bennett, Ewan or Van Aert will win.All I know is that lot of times in Paris the win is taken by someone who is least predicted before the stage to take it.
I hope so Let someone else enjoy the limelight, too...So in true 2020 style, neither Bennett, Ewan or Van Aert will win.
One day Mas will accidentally win a Grand Tour, I'm sure of itAnd people were ridiculed for saying some of the contenders could have tested his legs on stage 6 when his form wasn't there and he'd crashed earlier in the stage, in order to try to reduce the number of riders in the GC battle.
What is he talking about?
They were meant to let Kevin Reza lead them through the depart
It didn't seem to materialise
Perhaps something wasn't communicated, I'll reserve judgement but at best it's a poor look. "That's enough equality for today".
That's my wishful thinking for him to win in Paris but it is almost impossible given his form against Ewan, WVA and Bennett this year... They look like they are "toying" with him

What about the world champion? Or Trentin. Mezgec perhaps.entirely possible. lots of people are very very tired. it’s in no way a normal sprint.
in a normal sprint theres like an 80% chance either Ewan or Bennett takes it. Today I’d only really be surprised if it was someone other than those two, Sagan, WVA, Bol, Kristoff. (Now I’ve said that it will probably be some third tier sprinter nobody even remembers is here like Bonifazio or someone)

Makes me think where he'd land... Wild water?I heard they were watching Roglic carefully yesterday as he had a history of jumping off hills
For what? For a best rider over 30???I like the idea of a "silver" or "grey" jersey
Very true.
In the 2000s only stage win of the race in Champs:
2000 Zanini
2001 Svorada
2003 Nazon
2008 Steegmans
2017 Groenewegen
2018 Kristoff
Additionally Hushovd (2006) won prologue but not mass sprint stage and Bennati (2007) who had won from a break earlier in the final week.
25kph in the peloton must be like 40W or something.I think today I could keep up with the peleton, maybe even go on a break... What are they cruising at? Like 25kph?

no idea if he counts as "3rd tier" yet again, but Boasson Hagen usually does well in Paris, and finished 4-4-3-4-5 over the past five years. Maybe he can spring a surprise - although another 5th place is probably more likelyentirely possible. lots of people are very very tired. it’s in no way a normal sprint.

Biggest curve of all with Vino.
