Tour de France 2020 | Stage 7 (Millau - Lavaur, 168 km)

Tony?

Yes

 

[Escarabajo]

George Hincapie said that the profile was deceiving because in the Massive Central there are not many flat places. He thought the main riders should have gone to the rollers before the stage because of how short and hilly the start was.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yes

Too many Martins! Can't keep track of them...

I think MS riders were on rollers....

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Gallopin allegedly helped Geraint Thomas because he enjoys watching rugby. DQS will be regretting that they never sent Tony Martin a video of a good Hurling match.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

I wonder if Bennett is regretting right now, that he said in various interviews after the stage yesterday, that he might start to prioritize the green jersey?

 

[Thor de France]

Then tell Sporza they need to behave themselves. How can you be a Belgian sports channel, and not show every second of cycling possible?

I don't know how things are in Belgium (or rest of Europe/World), but here in Norway Eurosport have exclusive television-rights on the first 75 minutes of every stage in this tour. And here in Norway most people use Norwegian TV2 to watch the Tour, so it was a bit problematic on the first stage since they had not announced it beforehand.

Nice by Bora, curious to see what will happen after the sprint.

 

[Salvarani]

Wouldnt be surprised to see Ala try to win the sprint

 

[Red Rick]

"This day we could be talking about for days"

Thanks Sean Kelly

Libertine must be conflicted. Finally some action but she probably doesn't like who it's coming from.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Trentin might have taken the intermediate!

Too many Martins! Can't keep track of them...

And a Martin's, don't forget

 

[TomLPC]

Thought Bora were going off the front Gewiss style then

 

[Gigs_98]

Sagan messed up his bike throw there

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Sagan not happy with Trentin

 

[Red Rick]

Trentin coming off his line a lot there

 

[Oliver]

Trentin might have taken the intermediate!

Yes he did...

It must be a MTF

Sagan hasn't taken a single turn no conflict there

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Don't think they can realistically go faster than they are now. There is still such a long way to go they can't just burn all their riders now.

Well, with Schachmann wounded, their primary goal must be the green jersey. So they can concentrate on going full pull on selected stages and relax on other stages. In fact they can relax the rest of the tour more or less if they can exlude Sagans competitors today. But yes it's a heavy effort for 3,5 hours at 95%

 

[sir fly]

They'll keep pushing until groups behind give up.

 

[spalco]

Sagan not happy with Trentin

To be fair, kind of had a point there. Going that hard for the intermediate - eh, slightly dubious manoeuvre at the end there.

 

[Gigs_98]

Sagan hasn't taken a single turn no conflict there

Yeah, Bora is probably just preparing the final kilometre attack by Pöstlberger.

 

[Jspear]

Hey they are still riding....
