IceCreamMan Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 What are the losses for AP? relatively unscathed. 30 seconds more or less to Bernal no time to GT
Gen Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 50 minutes he should be ok then. but he is going to be far far back. but its not his fight I sposeFinishing within the time limit is his only concern.
Pure Savage Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 relatively unscathed. 30 seconds more or less to Bernal no time to GTThey managed to gain 24 seconds on him in less than 400m today, tomorrow there is no downhill after the climb. Ineos must be pretty confident either of their riders can put 2min into him over 3km.
Vetplant Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 What are the losses for AP?He was about 20s behind Gee at the top of Galibier, he rode them in on the descent, and almost dropped them afterwards. Think he only lost time to Bernal

Jehosefat Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Finishing within the time limit is his only concern. Time limit is almost an hour (56:50 as far as I can tell) so he should make it in well within that

It's a bit difficult to say, but Bernal FLEW up the top of that climb. Yoh

DQ must let a break go quickly and slow it down to get him over that HC they shouldn't drop him on the cat 1 at the end... Saturday is going to be bonkers.
geomark Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Apparently: Nairo Quintana set a new climbing record on Col du Galibier: 22 min 28 sec. Incredible ascent, one minute faster than Frank Schleck in 2011.
Gen Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 I only looked at the distance of the stages left now, 2 short stages.. oh my hat it is going to be bonkers x 100

And if Ineos has any designs on either of Thomas or Bernal winning Le Grande Boucle then half way on tomorrow's HC climb would possibly be a good place to attack. Or if they really are favouring a late attack stratagem then at the base of the final climb. Either way they need to put JA under serious pressure while the road is going vertically up. Right now he's holding onto yellow by doing a Salvodelli imho.
