Tour de France 2020 | Stage 9 (Pau - Laruns, 153 km)

[Scarponi]

Right now, f*** cycling.
The saddest thing is he could've still taken it, if he had waited 30-40 m longer.

Cycling is Full of cowardly Winners atm yuck

 

[fuiers]

Hirschi did start his sprint too late on stage 2 and im opinion this time too early. He could have won that with a later sprint. No matter. He will win stages in the future.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Roglic is giving a new meaning to marginal gains this tour.

 

[sir fly]

Such a pity for Hirschi.
Excellent stage.
Pyrenees overcame our expectations, I'll be free to say.

Fantastic weekend triptych.
The best since I watch the Tour.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Please give Hirschi a stage, any stage, later this race.

How can you call Pogacar "cowardly", when he has been attacking all day?

 

[SKSemtex]

Great stage. Great Hirschi. Great to see Landa surviving the first week with a manageable loss.

 

[Gigs_98]

Hirschi so f*cking close. That would have been a stage win for the history books

He took sticky bottles as if he were in the in the grupetto

 

[Salvarani]

Right now, f*** cycling.
The saddest thing is he could've still taken it, if he had waited 30-40 m longer.

He has to open up though, being last. Would have been too far if he waited.

 

[Savant12]

Feel like Roglic only came round for second because he saw that Hirschi wasn't going to make it.

 

[KZD]

If it wasn't Hirschi it would need to be Pogačar. The most gutsy rider among the GC ones.

 

[70kmph]

Hershey failsauce

 

[skippo12]

Roglic and TJV are Sky/Ineos 2.0. Froome level climbing/TT combined with Valverdes punch and sprint.
Time to remove bonus seconds again.

 

[Brumdog66]

Shoutout to ASO for finally designing a decent mountain weekend

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Cycling is sometimes an evil monster.

 

[Big Doopie]

Such a pity for Hirschi.
Excellent stage.

Fantastic weekend triptych.
The best since I watch the Tour.

no MTFs...

just saying.

MTFs often stymie attacks.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Hirschi should have rested up earlier

 

[topt]

Lot of Rogli seconds today

and Pogi

Are you telling me Pogacar is a designer baby?

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Pogacar looks absolutely funny in that press interview. It's one thing he wears a helmet, but his hair sticks up in the worst Jan Hirt fashion imaginable

 

[Scarponi]

How can you call Pogacar "cowardly", when he has been attacking all day?

Wasn’t a direct call on the exact stage winner but the overall sentiment of cycling currently yawn. Only a dud would think Pogacar isn’t an attacking cyclist. The complete lack of effort from GC guys on stage like today. Contador or Froome would have won by a minute

 

[DNP-Old]

Jumbo's mess becoming more evident now. He is coming.

 

[Red Rick]

Smiling eyes from Roglic

 

[SafeBet]

Legendary stuff from Hirschi.
This kid is a champion and will prove it soon.
