Tour de France 2020 | Stage 8 (Gazeres-sur-Geronne - Loudenvielle

[Eclipse]

Today's winners = Pog, Yates and Bernal

I really will laugh if Roglic marks himself out of the win.

 

[75Driver]

Happy for Pog too. He dug deep to get back some time. Gutsy ride by Yates as well. Overall great great stage.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Pog took 40 seconds
Bardet took 3

 

[SafeBet]

Buchmann lost more than a minute.

 

[Luthor]

Crap day, GC it's kinda over for Dumo and Pinot

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Buchmann disappointing.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Brilliant stage!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I'm sorry, but how does Roglic have so many fans? He seems nice enough and all and is obviously ultra strong but he's the most boring GC rider since maybe Wiggins

Some people spotted him on Adria Mobil when he was a real wildcard and feel vindicated, back then he had no team and was a real unusual story being a late starter, which made him appealing because he hadn't had all that exuberance coached out of him at a young age like most.

Back then he hadn't really learnt what a weapon his TT was because most of those races didn't have many long TTs, since he's gone to the top level and developed the TT as a weapon, he's retreated into his shell a lot.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Roglic see,ed to respond so easily on these attacks and when his biggest rival was obviously in trouble, he didnt capitalize. Thats stupid.. oh well. I hope Bernal or Pog wins

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Buchmann probably paying for how Bora rode yesterday.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Crap day, GC it's kinda over for Dumo and Pinot

Yeah, kinda...

 

[Brullnux]

Imagine showing useless breakaway riders instead of the actual race

The main useless riders here are the ones chasing yellow

 

[LaFlorecita]

Cheering for Pogi now

 

[bob.a.feet]

Buchmann probably paying for how Bora rode yesterday.

Hasn't recovered from the crash and missed training.

 

[Salvarani]

Good stage

Lets see what tomorrow brings

 

[roundabout]

Buchmann probably paying for how Bora rode yesterday.

Or for the Dauphine fall and lack.of training aftet

 

[Bolder]

Honestly Quintana looked the strongest today. No way he wants the yellow before the Alps, however.

I did miss the appealing backstory I admit

 

[F_Cance]

What was the point of Dumo working... TJV gained nothing basically

As if he would have survived that much longer without working for 2 minutes

 

[gregrowlerson]

Brilliant stage!

It surprisingly did turn out pretty good.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Well, if it's gonna be like that, and there's a Slovenian who has to win, i hope it's not Roglic.

 

[roundabout]

Roglic wins a lot, so hardly a mystery why some support him

 

[75Driver]

Can we stop watching the breakaway stragglers and see what;'s going on with GC please...

what’s up with the dumb producers? They must take orders from that doofus Liggett. Instructed to miss all the important action. Pfffttt.

 

[Bolder]

Biggest Bardet attack in years.

He looked pretty sprightly. He could had gained 5 seconds if he hadn't looked back every 50 meters....

 

[Red Rick]

Anyway, I think we can conclude Pogacar is definitely overrated after his 3rd place in an exceptionally weak Vuelta last year.
