Dirt Tracker Posted July 10, 2019 Share Anyone else actually having trouble keeping up with the massive amounts of podcasts on le tour this year and then having to get into the coverage of that days stage. The struggle is real. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/178558-tour-de-france-2019/page/35/#findComment-3525610 Share on other sites More sharing options...
geomark Posted July 10, 2019 Share Anyone else actually having trouble keeping up with the massive amounts of podcasts on le tour this year and then having to get into the coverage of that days stage. The struggle is real. Indeed, both The Move and The Cycling Podcast seem to have doubled down - just not enough gym time available to get through it all - I feel your pain.

Roguemeister Posted July 10, 2019 Share Profiles for today and tomorrow. Today could be the first real chance for the breakaway to succeed as the GC guys will probably be sitting back for the fun that is tomorrow. Hoping Ben King tries to go with the break today and make something happen. He should take Stevo Cummings along to do some strong pulls to establish the break.Guess I'm having an afternoon indoor session tomorrow for motivation [emoji123][emoji123] Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/178558-tour-de-france-2019/page/35/#findComment-3525631 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetplant Posted July 10, 2019 Share Felt exactly the same when I looked at the stage.Think especially with such a mountainous stage to follow, it does bode well for the correct break composition seeing that the GC teams won't chase as they know those okes will drop back on GC in the proper mountains.

Gen Posted July 10, 2019 Share Just turned the TV on (working half day from home is great) and thought to myself that the start should be hectic, then I remembered I have to fetch my kids from school soon.[emoji17] Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/178558-tour-de-france-2019/page/35/#findComment-3525712 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetplant Posted July 10, 2019 Share GO Ben GOSorry, the break that eventually got away looks as follows:S. Clarke 93 EF1M. Würtz 187 TKAT. Wellens 168 LTST. Skujins 137 TFS BUT, Bora is leading the pack. Sagan probably wants those points after the Cat3 climb, so best to only try again after the intermediate sprint.

Vetplant Posted July 10, 2019 Share I’m scratching my head about allaphilipe- why does he not target the yellow jersey?Not built for GC contention in a three week Grand tour.... not yet anyway. Plus like Sagan, he likes the Fun of bike racing. But who knows, maybe in a couple of years...

Vetplant Posted July 10, 2019 Share Peloton really pulling the break back now after that Cat3. Was 2min at the top, now down to 1min, 12km from the sprint line. Seems the peloton wants those sprint points... Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/178558-tour-de-france-2019/page/35/#findComment-3525770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
