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

[fuiers]

JV looks like a totally different team with their jackets on.

Rolf Soerensen commenting on what a brilliant descender Hirschi is, saying you can see how careful he is of the white lines on the road, trying to always hit them with a straight bike, while tilting the bike both before and after the white lines

Can we have an onboard camera on Zakarin's bike?

 

[ice&fire]

The peloton is having a break if Zakarin gets back in the descent

 

[SafeBet]

Can we have an onboard camera on Zakarin's bike?

Please I just got my lunch.

 

[fuiers]

Can we have an onboard camera on Zakarin's bike?

That can be only shown after 9pm like someone commented yesterday.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Zakarin vs. Basso, 1987 Giro stage 1b re-run. Make it happen. I want to see if they'd be OTL in an 8km TT.

 

[Savant12]

Can we have an onboard camera on Zakarin's bike?

Package it up and put it on VR headset.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Hirschi has taken more than a minute out of everyone on this descent already, classy.

 

[gregrowlerson]

This stage really has Richie Porte descent incident written all over it

Nah, the curse ended last year; he'll be fine.

 

[Sestriere]

Hirschi looks like he was born to race a bike. Absolute joy to watch.

 

[KZD]

Hirschi looks great while descending.

Hirschi looks great while descending.

On the day Hirschi was born, he absorbed all descending skills from Reichenbach.

racecenter.letour.fr suggesting that Sagan and Cosnefroy are ahead of the Jumbo group. Green points heist?

Does reproduction happen differently in Switzerland?

 

[Bolder]

Hirschi is doing something very interesting: He's using his computer mount as an aerobar. I wonder if the UCI shouldn't take a closer look at that in the near future.

Every sign points to the level of this year being ridiculously high from a pure power view, doesn't make much sense given the lockdown but even the main group yesterday were putting in tour winner numbers.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Good plan by him, very fresh. He is a climbing prospect but he was in the last group in stage 7, he was in Pinot's group in stage 8, and he took stage 6 so easily he didn't even stay with the maillot jaune.

The reproduction happened the normal way.

Almost all the big names are there and all of them are fresh. Normal you have people coming out of the Giro not bothering or trying to extend their peak level.

 

[fuiers]

Just wondering. Who is last Swiss rider to win a GT stage?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

The reproduction happened the normal way.

I've heard it involves cowbells somehow?

Or maybe it makes all the sense in the world, if we turn this into a clinic thread

Rolf Soerensen saying that in his day, he would eat pasta with tomato sauce for breakfast, every day, during a Grand Tour
