Tour de France Tour de France 2021, Stage 20: Libourne – Saint-Émilion, 30.8 km (ITT)

Asgreen is still bitter about Vingo edging him for best Dane on stage 5.

Understandable. I think he will win the H2H today though.

 

[BlueRoads]

Good for Asgreen.

 

[Leinster]

Kung about 200m slower than Asgreen

 

[luckyboy]

Is the wind stronger? Lots of riders fading during the course now.

Pog chuckling back in his dressing room, still in slippers and smoking a cigar.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

I'm surprised Ineos haven't been using the Grenadier as the following car today or maybe e 30km is too much for it.

 

[BlueRoads]

Top 5: 3 Danes, 2 Schweizer.

Are you talking in general, or specifically the Bordeaux area?

I live in wine country. Some winemakers do the whole process themselves from root to bottle, but it’s a big operation to do all that. Small makers will contract out parts of the process; you can hire someone to do pretty much any single stage of it.

Some makers here charge a premium for “Estate grown” wines, rather than wine made with fruit from their back-of-beyonds vineyards, or that they’ve bought in from other growers.

It's a broad topic.
There's the protected area (if that's the term), then there's the brand name, etc., etc.
That's why I was wondering about the economic model behind the production.
It takes time to market the product and reach appropriate value, so I assumed there are different kinds of arrangements in circulation.
Intrigued me mostly 'cause of our collective model history and more recent trends.

I see a sign... or is it the wine?

Interesting seeing these guys sitting on the “on deck” bench chatting briefly with each other. Other than simple pleasantries, after three weeks I can imagine the conversations consisting of: “Where do you hurt the most?” . . . “For me, here, here, and here, what about you?”

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I see a sign...

Then your eyesight is at least better than Tony Martin's.

 

[SarahtheDane]

So, 3rd time this week a dane will finish second behind

 

[Red Rick]

Van Aert taking off.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Why even put a camera on Dan Martin in a TT?

To laugh at him?

 

[BlueRoads]

These "fans"... if the organizers are serious about safety they should make them stay away from the road, but of course it's only not okay when a crash happens.

 

[Leinster]

Castroviejo’s position looks sooooooo uncomfortable.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

W o u t !

 

[Red Rick]

Van Aert -3s at first intermediate.

 

[Leinster]

Gaudu’s smile looks incredibly unaerodynamic.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

I just heard on the Rai that Pogachar will skip the Vuelta
Is that true?

 

[Red Rick]

And we have lift off.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

W o u t W o u t !

I just heard on the Rai that Pogachar will skip the Vuelta
Is that true?

ASO paying disappearance fee to keep Tour as most hyped race every year?

Supersonic.
