Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 20 (Lacapelle-Marival – Rocamadour, 40.7k/ITT)

[Bavarianrider]

Nothing Like TT in South France. 10-15km more and this would be a Classic TT to remember.

Someone should have posted it in that thread yesterday...

Sorry, I hadn't seen that thread since a couple of days ago. It was just something I stumbled upon myself.

What happened to "Belgian Pozzato"?

Was posting slightly absent minded when I did that, sorry. Of course Wout van aert is a Belgian Pozzato

 

[Netserk]

Bodnar en route for a good early time as well. But I doubt he will ride the climbs faster than Bjerg.

And you didn't make a new thread?

Cattaneo fast as well at T1 (+6''05).

Not a surprise, also trains a lot with Masnada and they are roommate in the races

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

No surprise, Ganna P1 at the first time check.

Hope Ganna wins. There's only room for 1 Wout in my life and that is Wout Poels!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Good planning from Ineos to have at least 30 bikes on the roof of that car behind Ganna, you never know what can happen on these treacherous roads!

 

[roundabout]

Bagioli was 38 seconds behind at T1 and Ganna passed him about 10 minutes later

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

The world really doesn't want Bissinger to win time trials it seems.

 

[Netserk]

Steady difference in speed between Cattaneo and Ganna.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Ganna is going very well so far. Let's see if he can hold it for the whole route

approx 2s/km faster than Bjerg

I think he’s ganna do it.

 

[SafeBet]

Cattaneo still close to Ganna at second check.

Many guys with only TT bike on the roof but surely if you have a flat after the final time check much better to switch to a normal road bike.

It's a joke about the 2 seconds of aerodynamic marginal gains for having a bike for every 2km on the team car

Great ice vest from Laporte, another marginal gain of modern cycling contributing to the sharp rise in climbing times.

Pantani and Indurain never thought of using ice to cool down according to cycling historian Dan Lloyd, they just had to make do in the baking heat. Armstrong wanted to use it but they had to get it imported from Antarctica back then so it was too expensive for Postal.

I heard laporte also pays close attention to his diet.

Filippo Ganna do a negative split

Dan Lloyds representation of the 90s may be the best meme of the Tour.

 

[Lequack]

If this is not a Jumbo 1-2-3 I will be disappointed.

Here you are, comparing totally diferent periods of time.

Of course the ice vest is a lot more effective nowadays then back then... Have you ever heard about global warming?

Good thing he said that the wasn't feeling great on the last few stages...
