Mntboy Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 What happened? I’m out shopping [emoji2359]I did see that Sam took the sprint points thoughA breakaway, Jungels caused Higuita to crash, crash resulted in Higuita having to abandon and Sagan had his backside handed to him at the ISP. And we not at the climbs as yet.

Frosty Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) That is the aspect that I don't understand fully. Who decides whether it is Coefficient 2, 3 or 4 today? And how is that decided? (I can see that today is not Coefficient 1, 5 or 6)I eventually found the rule book where it shows the coefficients for each stage. https://netstorage.lequipe.fr/ASO/cycling_tdf/tdf20-reglement-fruk-bd.pdf So today is coefficient 4 - Very difficult stages.The time limit is calculated according to the actual time recorded by the winner plus:7% if the average speed is less than or equal to 30km/h;8% between 30km/h and 31km/h;9% between 31km/h and 32km/h;10% between 32km/h and 33km/h;11% between 33km/h and 34km/h;12% between 34km/h and 35km/h;13% between 35km/h and 36km/h;14% between 36km/h and 37km/h;15% between 37km/h and 38km/h;16% between 38km/h and 39km/h;17% between 39km/h & 40km/h18% over 40km/h. I've updated my cut off time calculator sheet from 2016, so you can play around with it to work out the cut-off time. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QSIq7jAFacMaqalPdw68K7uEPNmTAimi/view?usp=sharing Edited September 13, 2020 by Frosty Kranswurm and Vetplant 2
The Ghost Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Thanks Well between the two of them that was a nasty fall, poor guy.
The Ghost Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 This looks like a painful climb hurting many already and there’s still another to come [emoji85] Vetplant 1
Vetplant Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Gogl up the road for NTT. Doubt he will be able to take it to the finish.
Thomo Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Gogl up the road for NTT. Doubt he will be able to take it to the finish.He's done well to get into that position, but it is still a long way to go.Holding thumbs....
'Dale Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Gogl up the road for NTT. Doubt he will be able to take it to the finish. It will be a battle amongst the top GC contenders today.The white jersey will be looking for bonus seconds. The yellow jersey will be looking to defend. The 2019 winner will be looking to reassert himself. Tomorrow is a rest day. So, all nitrogen cylinders will be emptied, so to speak. Love this pan shot of the yesterday's finalé as the pack of wolves chase the eventual winner, of the youngest team in the peloton. Pic by Kristof Ramon Edited September 13, 2020 by 'Dale Escapee.. 1

The Ghost Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Bernal falling off, Nairo too.*POP* Edited September 13, 2020 by The Ghost
'Dale Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Wout... wow... defying gravity. I can feel the earth tremble as he pulls the peloton at 6.2 w/kg. The camera does not fully reveal how steep this really is. It never does. And the climb is tricky as it has steep ramps, so rhythm and tempo is always disrupted.

The Ghost Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Let’s see if Pogacar or any others have legs to try and take time out of Roglic
The Ghost Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Yates having a go, nobody in particular marking the move. Bernal literally clenching his teeth. He’s not in a happy place. Edited September 13, 2020 by The Ghost
