Tour de France Tour de France 2023, stage 20: Belfort - Le Markstein, 133.5k

[Tim Cahill]

Pinot could save about 10 watts if he wasn't wriggling about so much on the bike

It is quite odd that they're drilling it for Pogacar given his form instead of letting a few of their boys get in the break, unless they think it was just a hunger knock and not a long term reflection of form or lack of training base.

Yeah, they've lost the Tour, if they were trying to put 8 mins on Jonas they would do something already. You have grosschatner, Soler and Majka who rode like animals for 3 weeks for pocagar and Yates, would be nice if they got the chance

UAE can't be riding that hard, there's still a large peloton there.

They will.

Like telling an 80 year old he should save for his pension...too late mate

Must be some French tradition. Alain Phillippe is another one that comes to mind.

 

[postmanhat]

Anyone but UAE to win today please.

 

[Reynard]

Guys you are missing the most funniest thing ever. if you watch the live tracking data of Le Tour you can see Pierre latour falling back every decent 20-30 seconds and then comeback on the climb... I mean he's still trying but you know maybe don't and try to fix the decending

They want the stage. They're going to make it hard.

Christian VdV giving us a rundown on the Garmin 530.

I don't know why people would whine about UAE. They had an unsuccessful Tour, of course they're trying to win the stage.

 

[Rollthedice]

We have a winner!

 

[RobertCrawley]

I don't know why people would whine about UAE. They had an unsuccessful Tour, of course they're trying to win the stage.

If they have two podium spots and stage wins, that's a very successful Tour. Just not what they wanted.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Well, at least that's over.

But, but, but… Tibopino!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Takes a bow

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Chapeau Ciccone, well played Leeeeedl-Trek

They've been trying.

Are you sarcastic? I think most teams would consider 2 stage wins, and two podium spots, pretty good.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Ciccone legend, now I only need someone other than UAE or Vingegaard to win the stage please!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Wow, we really need Adam Blythe for this quality commentary!

 

[Aimar16]

If they have two podium spots and stage wins, that's a very successful Tour. Just not what they wanted.

I think only a GC win is a success for them. Anything else is a disappointment.

 

[buddy buddy buddy]

yeah really not a good look to employ this blythe, man what an idiot

 

[RobertCrawley]

I think only a GC win is a success for them. Anything else is a disappointment.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

 

[postmanhat]

Barguil left his heart on that corner

 

[Aimar16]

Are you sarcastic? I think most teams would consider 2 stage wins, and two podium spots, pretty good.

I think they are very unhappy not to have won the yellow jersey.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Col de la Schlucht ... the only time the multiple leader strategy actually worked for Telekom and they outplayed Postal.
