dsw Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 So Bernal attacks and Thomas drives the GC group [emoji2368] That's straight up Movistar [emoji1787][emoji1787] Yeah, perhaps... Egan is the strongest climber in the race and Ineos should support him. But then again, if you are the defending champion are you just going to let go? I would love to hear the team discussions.

Either way that is H.E.C.T.I.C will a supersized capital HAccording to the team it was from a gel Doubt a nose bleed would end up looking like that..the gel def makes more sense [emoji6]

Gen Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 I am still very impressed with Buchmann riding a great tour.

So it is not possible to be a gel. Ja ja, wooden spoon and all that.

Ja ja, wooden spoon and all that.Ha ha ha.. so they don't taken gels on down hills.[emoji2957] Think a field test is needed.. you go and test all the possible scenarios.. all you need is a volunteer to give you a nose bleed[emoji1787][emoji1787]
geomark Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 His shirt was open when riding up hill. So it is not possible to be a gel. Ja ja, wooden spoon and all that.So are we going with the rough batch of Columbia’s marching powder causing the nosebleed theory?
Wayne pudding Mol Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 A few days ago NQ can't ride up a hill with the peloton, now he's setting KOMs in the alps I know he's very good and all that but he's my least favourite rider and earlier today I said he would go backwards after getting in the break. So basically you're welcome NQ because in this tour I am always wrong.
Vetplant Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 No matter what happens or doesn't happen tomorrow or Saturday, this has been the most enjoyable TDF to watch ever since it caught my attention in the middle 2000s. I would prefer it if anyone BUT Ineos takes the Win in the GC, but if they do take it it would be well deserved. Looking at how things played out today, JA can likely still be in Yellow after tomorrow. There is a Loooooong descent after the penultimate climb of the day in which he can make up time if they drop him on the HC climb. Then just follow as long as possible up the Cat1 finish and he should finish within 1m30 of the Ineos duo if we look at his form thus far. Then on Saturday it is anybody's guess with that insane final climb.

I mentioned to the trainee Team Director (aka daughter) that as of 14H00, after school collection, the TV is mine. It felt like I had abandoned.

Then on Saturday it is anybody's guess with that insane final climb. Except for Bernal and Thomas the other top contenders made it easy today for Alaphilipe to keep his lead. I think there will be more urgency amongst them tomorrow as it is not in their best interest to wait on Ineos to do all the attacking.
