Tour de France 2020 | Stage 4 (Sisteron – Orcières-Merlette, 160.5 km)

[TomLPC]

Kuss and Van Aert very impressive too

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Worst opening MTF ever. Even so, quite a few big names clearly not good enough.

 

[Faserr]

Buchmann got a 7 sec gap. No in shape.
Roglic strong as ever.

 

[skippo12]

Buchmann lost 5s. Don´t think they dropped anyone else.
I think Alaphilippe was at his limit. Bernal lost a few spots in the sprint as well.

 

[ppanther92]

Ala confirms that he is still very good but not quite on the level he was last year.

 

[Movitrain]

No MOV riders could keep up until the end... Man it's really going to be a long and painful season for them huh.

 

[Big Doopie]

Did anyone of interest lose any time? Carapaz I suppose

higuita. :-(

 

[wheresmybrakes]

I would wonder what Roglic would have been like on a proper climb. He didn't look too dominant there, his team did a good job but i would have thought he would have won more convincingly. Still recovering from his injuries. Not an out and out favourite for me, yet.

 

[Simurgh]

Roglic 1st, Pogacar 2nd, Nairo 3rd, Guillaume Martin 4th, Alaphilippe 5th

I think its great for stage 4 tbh

Jumboys sedated puncheurs legs.
Well done.
Congrats to Slovenians.

Was Dumoulin in front group? Did not catch my eyes.

 

[Brullnux]

So is Roglic's plan use his insane team to drag him up, win the bonuses, and then take the time needed in the TT?

Up hill sky jumping?

Yes, but it was really on the limit for him.

11th

Yes

 

[Red Rick]

What kind of MTF is this?

The French sister of Montevergine

 

[LaFlorecita]

When will be the first stage that's not a total borefest?

believe so.

yup. behind pinot and yates.

what a load of crap, he won easily, he wasnt trying to win a lot of time here jsut to win the stage.

 

[HelloDolly]

There was very little anyone could do with JUmbo Visma pace....they have the best riders at the moment

 

[TomLPC]

All my boys, the non-ineos/jumbo international brigade finished in the front group so that will do for me.

 

[Red Rick]

I seriously dont know what people were expecting here, this was the most obvious sprint MTF ever

WHERE'S VALVERDE???????
