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

[Red Rick]

I love the surprised pikachu faces when critize a GT route then the riders go out and do worse in the Tour just about every year.

 

[Salvarani]

But that is a moot point, because putting pressure on others today, while they are hurting, means they have less to fire with on Saturday.

Putting pressure on today for little gain, means less to pressure with on Saturday. Where there is potentially more reward for putting on pressure.

 

[Carols]

Chapeau Lutsenko , Great ride!

So the big question remains. Is Valverde gonna sprint?

 

[gunara]

Some Vuelta vibes later on, where most riders can't hold form for meaningful amount of time, can only be fun at this rate, at this time of the year

 

[Red Rick]

So the big question remains. Is Valverde gonna sprint?

The entire peloton is slowing down so finally Valverde loses time on purpose while enabling Valverde to sprint

 

[Leinster]

Nice comeback by Herrada, who looked cooked on the steep part.

It is odd though, that Cofidis send him out after a stage win, when they have GC aspirations for Martin, today is going to take a lot out of Herrada, and they end up with nothing to show for the effort.

Nothing ventured nothing gained. Herrada is at least showing that it was worth the effort to go for it.

If he'd pulled it off then a stage win for him + a (possible) top 10 for Martin would be a brilliant Tour for them. And Herrada has a day sitting in the wheels tomorrow ahead of the Pyrenees at the weekend.

Well deserved for Lutsenko!

 

[sir fly]

Underwhelming GC day.
Maybe not for Ineos, though.

 

[Leinster]

That's a ridiculously large peloton for a "summit" finish.

Today was much better for a decent attack than the Peyresourde

 

[fuiers]

Lol Alaphillippe. What a snoozefest from GC.

 

[ppanther92]

Ala taking 2s back?

 

[Simurgh]

Hahaha Alaphilippe attacks to gain..2 seconds?

 

[Red Rick]

That's a ridiculously large peloton for a "summit" finish.

I can literally only think of Sierra Nevada 2011

 

[glassmoon]

Chapeau Ala!

 

[Andy262]

Lol, Ala can't help himself.

 

[TomLPC]

Petty, spiteful attack at the end there, good stuff

 

[Salvarani]

Today was much better for a decent attack than the Peyresourde

We can just agree to disagree then.

You are missing the point.

Putting injured captains into the red today, means you have an even better chance Saturday.

Instead you are giving them 2 extra days to recover.

 

[Eclipse]

Shameful

well done Lutsenko at least

 

[Leinster]

Alaf grabs a second back!

 

[Pirazziattacks]

What was Mollema doing? Classic Valverde/Cadel absolutely pointless sprint from Alaphilippe.

 

[Simurgh]

Alaphilippe gained 1 second hahaha

 

[Big Doopie]

that was absolutely miserable.
