Tour de France 2020 | Stage 6 (Le Teil - Mont Aigoual, 191 km)

[Red Rick]

It would be foolish to attack atm, so I dont know why they are being called cowards. It doesnt make sense.

I'm calling them cowards for not attacking 20 minutes ago, not for not attacking now

Aru... is just aruing.

 

[dercuforever]

Yesterday stage was more exciting (GC wise), at least someone tried something in the crosswind...

 

[bajbar]

It was at the top of the climb, which according to the map is 13.5 K from the finish line..... so yeah, not 12.7 - but still below 15!

Lutsenko was at the top. It was at 2km to go board to the top for the peloton.

 

[Lequack]

So strange that the peloton is still so big. I guess Ineos still have an effect of no one attacking.

 

[Rollthedice]

Bernal looks so bad man.

Top 10 material.

 

[Escarabajo]

Bernal looks so bad man.

How could you tell?

 

[Sestriere]

Rabofail. Riding for Dumoulin already? Gotta hit the iron when it's hot. Roglic is hot right now, but they do nothing to gain time. Waiting for week 3 when he fades?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Even the fight for the stage win hasn't been particularly interesting. Like I said two days ago, neither Orcières-Merlette nor Lusette-Aigoual are worth much without a decent run-in and in week 1.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

This is classic 2012 Giro mindset. A bit like when Sylwester Szmyd was making the pace late in his career, so many people are used to Ineos getting on the front and drilling it that they think "if I can follow their tempo, I'm doing fine", and give them carte blanche to set whatever speed they want and people will let them.

 

[TomLPC]

Some of these riders still have Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to sky I think

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Lutsenko was at the top. It was at 2km to go board to the top for the peloton.

I dunno what pictures you are watching, I saw them both get a bottle on the crest of the climb, when the decent started

 

[Gigs_98]

MS back at the front realizing yellow is in danger again because the Ineos train climbed slower than GVA...

 

[glassmoon]

Pog uff

 

[Salvarani]

Of course it wouldn´t make any sense to attack now. It is just disappointing that no team was willing to set a higher pace.

Yeah... I just dont understand why people on here that are really knowledgable most of the time make such posts though. Or shows that lack of patience for race thats just developing.
Today is more a stage where you dont wanna lose time. A stage like Saturday is probably where someone that is feeling good might make a real effort to distance some rivals.

 

[Salvarani]

Damn pog

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Mitchelton riding because of Pogacar or because of Van Avermaet?

 

[BlueRoads]

Pogacar has had some mechanicals in these days...

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Damn pog

Pog Bah

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

It was 13,3km for Lutsenko. 15km for the peloton.

Does the same rule not prohibit taking drinks on a climb?

 

[BlueRoads]

Mitchelton riding because of Pogacar or because of Van Avermaet?

Lutsenko?

 

[Salvarani]

I'm calling them cowards for not attacking 20 minutes ago, not for not attacking now

I would call them stupid for attacking 20 minutes ago.

 

[roundabout]

pretty good crowd for a stage in the middle of nowhere

 

[Red Rick]

Imagine the ASO, risking the public health to bring the boredom to your living room

 

[Broccolidwarf]

I honestly don't understand why none of the secondary GC teams try something on a stage like today.

People like Porte, Mollema, Bardet, Mas, Martin, etc.

A lot of GC captains are riding injured, and not putting pressure on them in the first week, will allow them to recover without losing time.
