Tour de Pologne 2020

[Keram]

lol, nobody on the side of the road with a facemask.

Same attitude like Slovakia. Quite opposite to western Europe. In march and april everybody was wearing it inside and outside. Nobody gives *** anymore despite number of cases are similar to march and april or even more. It is because we did not experienced collaps of health systems here in V4 so poeple here underestimate coronavirus.

Sorry for off topic.

Strange, the Corona response from Czech, Slovakia, Poland seemed so reasonable at the time, because it was no-nonsense, do what's necessary. Difficult to uphold that focus for months and months though I guess. Discipline in Austria has slipped dramatically too.

Idk but it's not just poland ,slovakia etc. In the Netherlands nobody cares about the rules as far as I can see, especially < 40yo people. I'd annoys me to a great length. Because cases are spiking again lately but this time nobody bats an eye.

Anyway, i suppose little gc action today? Maybe some slight gaps

Guys. Note that there is no obligation to wear a mask outdoors in Poland. Only indoors.

I assume that indoors, in public spaces not indoors, in your own home.

Has DQS been on the front all day? Are they riding for Evenepoel or what?

I think they would have pushed harder on the climb if they were riding for Evenepoel, but you never know with this kid.

No, only the last 2 climbs.
I would either think for Evenepoel's GC or for the stagewin (with maybe someone else).

Yes, obviously.

Pace went up significantly. It's gonna be very hard finish of the stage.

Polish sources report that Mickael Delage (Groupama) crashed on a descent, losing his helmet. With some head injuries, he was transported to the hospital in a helicopter.

Google Translate:

On Friday there was another dangerous accident on the Tour de Pologne route. Mickael Delage, a cyclist of the Groupama-FDJ group, fell over at one of the descents. The Frenchman was transported by helicopter to the hospital. As the doctor of the race, Barbara Jerschina, informed in an interview with Sport.pl, the most serious is the head injury from which the helmet fell during the fall.

Probably Ballerini, but Senechal could be an option as well.

Oh... no...

The final climb here is perfect for Pedersen.

Not too steep. A pure power hill at 4-5%.

Doesnt sound serious. Described more as road rash and some bumps. Conscious all the way. Whats up with the helmets though??

Pedersen looks terrible entire day. Dropped from the peleton

I have noticed that a lot of pros have the strap at the chin very lose...

Helmet coming off is normal (by design) in some situations. First of all it gets destroyed by impact, while absorbing energy. Also when helmet gets caught by something, the straps should break to avoid additional injury (ears, neck etc.).

No Pedersen in the front group.

 

[damian13ster]

Carapaz . UAE fell asleep

 

[spalco]

Wow, really nice win, well done! Very impressive.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Don't really know what DQS was trying to do all day.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Great timing by Carapaz. Well done!
