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

[Broccolidwarf]

Carapaz dropped

edit: because of mechanical

Puncture

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Must be a horrible feeling, knowing you blew your chances on such a *** "sprinter"-stage and have another 20km to ride thinking about your failure.

Well, this was very unlikely to "just" be a sprinter stage, so it's not really weird to see a few guys losing time.

 

[Simurgh]

Gap has reached a full minute

 

[huangho]

4th group is going to be out of time limit!!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

4th group is going to be out of time limit!!

Is that based on actual time gaps, or are you guessing?

Castroviejo trying to tow Carapaz back (+36'')

 

[IndianCyclist]

Ineos Plan B out

 

[Krokro]

Last group aroud 12mn. Going to be close?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Tables have turned, JV and FDJ now riding to get rid of Carapaz on GC

 

[Escarabajo]

What a stupid move by Ineos. Incredible!!!

 

[Big Doopie]

Interesting that Castro is dropping back for Carapaz. Limiting losses for GC, or just keeping him fresh?

The Ewans group you mean? Do you have any info where they are? The broadcast hasn't shown them in forever.

 

[huangho]

14 min according to radio...

Actual time gaps.

What a stupid move by Ineos. Incredible!!!

I missed it, didn't Carapaz get a puncture? Did they keep drilling it afterwards? Wondering what you're referring to, thx.

 

[Vemos]

Richie Porte...arguably the worst rider in the history of cycling when it comes to making the front group when there is a breeze.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

What a stupid move by Ineos. Incredible!!!

Why is it stupid?

It was all working out..... you can't plan for a puncture at the wrong time dude.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Nice work by Astana on the front

Probably keeping him close. But I guess this will end in them finishing in group 2.

 

[Orbit501]

Which sprinters, or at least sprinter types, are left in this front group?

As far as I can tell so far ........Coquard, Mezgec, WVA, Sagan. Anyone else?

Is Hofstetter still here after his crash earlier?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Daniel Oss has officially been awarded the red numbers for tomorrow

 

[Escarabajo]

Dropping Castro. Leaving Bernal with only one.

Castroviejo dropped back to try to drag Carapaz back to the lead group.

Gap between front group <-> Pogacar/Landa is reaching 1'20''
