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

[spalco]

De Gendt's not making it today, really good attempt though.

 

[Simurgh]

Pogacar mechanical!

Bora back then was called NetApp.

The team that was called Cannondale back then, was what used to be Liquigas. Sagan left to ride for Tinkoff, and Cannondale merged with Garmin to form what is now EF.

I don't think that was the only time Sagan's teams did that. They certainly did it on a couple of occasions in the Tour of California, but I think they got caught out a couple of times as well. Taylor Phinney got he jump on them and stole a stage once.

Thanks for correcting me, you are of course right (in fairness, the commentators didn't say they used to be called Cannondale, that was all me )

Pogacar's daily puncture

 

[BlueRoads]

What is wrong with Pogacar's bike?! He's got a problem every day, right?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Commentators saying Pogacar has a puncture almost every day.

 

[Laplaz]

342332145532 puncture for Pogacar. How is that possible??

 

[Jspear]

At least the change was fast.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

With all the strength Bora has spent today, I wonder who is going to chase, when every team without a sprinter starts to attack in the last 10 k?

 

[Krokro]

Rimbr4k3s lol

 

[bambino]

At least the change was fast.

Amount of training at same level with F1 teams.

 

[BlueRoads]

Is there any reason for group 2 not to fall back to group 3? Except pride?

 

[Leinster]

At least the change was fast.

Well he's had so much practice now...

 

[Gigs_98]

At least the change was fast.

They have a lot of practice

Whats the Time limit today?

Time limit should be around 15-17 minutes....

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Whats the Time limit today?

Not gonna be a factor.

I thought they might have it down as that group 3 might miss the time cut, and people like Ewan and Bol are in it, meaning fewer threats in sprints in coming stages. If they drop back and form one large gruppetto they'll inevitably be allowed to stay in. At this point it's less likely that that will be a factor, but it's fairly reasonable thinking.

Too many minutes back. Dani Martinez is there and there are some EF guys helping the chase for some reason.

 

[Gigs_98]

If the wind is like the forecast said they'll reach the really dangerous crosswind section in something like 5km.

 

[Faserr]

Calm before the storm?
Direction change incoming.

Might snatch the puncture jersey from Alaphilippe .

 

[Eclipse]

Alright lets see if we get anything else

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Ineos to the front, must be crosswinds coming.

I thought Voigt was explaining cycling for 4 year olds.
Yesterday Wiggins was said to explain to a golden retriever.
Then who does Contador explains things to? The fruit flies in my kitchen?
