'Dale Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 Julian Alaphilippe is the first French rider in the last three decades to win a Tour de France stage in the yellow jersey. Sauce ???? @CafeRoubaix
Vetplant Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 I expect Ineos will put the hammer down tomorrow.We know that Ineos are capable of controlling a race if they are in yellow; tomorrow will be the beginning of the test of whether they are ready to ride with an attacking mindset. As we have seen, JA is willing to put everything into keeping that yellow for One Day More (Les Mis reference ), so he won't make it easy for them. He and Quickstep actually have zero pressure on them, with all the stage wins already and allot of time in Yellow their TDF is already a success. Ineos on the other hand might be under pressure tomorrow to perform for the first time in years.
'Dale Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 What a dent to the Bahrain-Merida team’s brand with the rainbow jersey not on display todayMet eish
Eldron Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 So I've been travelling a bit and only got to see the stage result now... JA is a climbing specialist and top shelf time triallist. WTF? The power of yellow I suppose... Or Ketones. Or left over energy from Bastille Day. Either way my radar is bleeping like an episode of Gordon Ramsey...
DieselnDust Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 Or we have the first proper all rounder to emerge since Bernard Hinault
Christie Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 Like when Thomas Voeckler held yellow till the second last day, or when Di Luca won the Giro.
