Tour de Pologne 2020

[Oldermanish]

Easy there Panda. I was having a chuckle about the Belgians complaining about the lack of Tour wins. My uncle was grumbling about it all through the 70s and 80s.

Fortune in the Tour comes and goes. Belgium and France will have future winners.

'Murica, too. F*ck yeah!

He would have attacked where Kruijswijk attacked and stayed away, would be my guess.

Would have been a completely different story. Poland field is completely different than Bernal, Roglic, Nairo, and JV with numbers. They would have immediately reacted,

Those guys are lucky Remco went to Poland or else they'd be battling for scraps.

At least Belgium and France have clear future possible winners. Looking fairly lean for Murica these days.

Wouldn't put it past him. I guess anything is possible with him at this point.

 

[sir fly]

What a sprint!
Well done.

 

[RedheadDane]

Ballerini!

 

[jaylew]

Wow, DQS again.

Ackermann too early. Actually looks like he's is a little off his usual form.

France...?

 

[Poursuivant]

What did Uijtdebroeks fail at? Failing?

Probably spelling his surname

 

[Jagartrott]

France...?

Pinot

 

[jaylew]

France...?

Alaphilippe, Bardet, Pinot, Gaudu...I don't honestly think any of them will win it but at least if you're wanting a French winner you're always going to have someone to support. The guy with the best chance for me is Alaphilippe if he ever decided to focus on GT.

The US has what, Kuss? McNulty?

He should be punished, I agree. And I don't believe the theory of the handlebars either. But, I don't think what he did was intentional.
Looked horrible on the replay.

If you think it was not intentional, why you think he should be punished?

in this video, you can see that he did not intentionally elbowed FJ, his elbow got stuck in FJs handlebars. It does not change the fact, that his previous move was dangerous and he should be banned for some time. I have seen worse line changes, fortunately with not so severe consequences.

In the video you posted(sec 1) you can see clearly that DG intentionally elbows FJ handlebars.

I feel as sorry for Groenewegen as I do for drunk drivers who hit someone.

Really?
So, what you actually feel for the folks that got hit by the people you feel sorry?

Thats the people I feel sorry for
