The Ghost Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Yoh this Pogacar is also really rather impressive [emoji1319].Great ride by the yellow team.Really rough day for some. I thought for one scary moment that Port was going to win it.
Gen Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 JV team time triall[emoji33] Porte has really impressed me. Rogla and Pogacar just so good.
Gen Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Yoh the GC got some shakeup Uran pedalled into thrid.
Mntboy Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Jumbo Looking super strong! TommyD revving that big turbo diesel of his to good effect and how good was Kuss in giving Roglic a boost in the final few hundred metres. Roglic only guy to be able to follow Pogacar when he went for it. It is going to be very tight between these two friends. Porte looked good as well. Next week is going to be extremely interesting with yellow and green jersey competition being hotly contested. Quintana and Bernal the biggest losers today. Their TdF challenge is essentially over. What a fantastic stage, bring on the final week!!!!!!!!
Rowl Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Great stage! Well done Pogacar! Anyone know how far the sprinters are back?
The Ghost Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 It’s too close at the top for me to call.Roglic has the lead but Pogacar looks a bit stronger to me.Jumbo have the team, but that doesn’t seem to have hampered Poga this far.
Frosty Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Great stage! Well done Pogacar! Anyone know how far the sprinters are back?They were 7.2Km from the finish when the live tracker stopped working.About 29 minutes down, with an expected time cut of 44 minutes.

Mntboy Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 The Top Ten on GC after today's stage, courtesy of CN: 1 Primoz Roglic (Slo) Team Jumbo-Visma 65:37:072 Tadej Pogacar (Slo) UAE Team Emirates 00:00:403 Rigoberto Uran (Col) EF Pro Cycling 00:01:344 Miguel Angel Lopez Moreno (Col) Astana Pro Team 00:01:455 Adam Yates (GBr) Mitchelton-Scott 00:02:036 Richie Porte (Aus) Trek-Segafredo 00:02:137 Mikel Landa Meana (Spa) Bahrain McLaren 00:02:168 Enric Mas Nicolau (Spa) Movistar Team 00:03:159 Nairo Quintana (Col) Team Arkea-Samsic 00:05:0810 Tom Dumoulin (Ned) Team Jumbo-Visma 00:05:12 That stage 19 ITT is starting to look like that will be the title decider between Pogacar and Roglic. Should that happen Pogacar might be feeling slightly more confident given that he has recently beaten Roglic in an ITT for the Slovenian Champions jersey. However lots of climbing and three more hard stages before we even get there. Once again that final week is looking to be pretty interesting!!!
Chris_ Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Do these chaps who have already finished, go back down the hill for just a km or two and spin their legs coming back up, or is the hotel at the bottom or why do we sometimes see them heading back down past people still coming into the finish?
Mntboy Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 https://twitter.com/Vaughters/status/1305170958249066496?s=19Rigo is also just quietly getting on with things as well. Flying under the radar a little bit. Will interesting to see if he can hold on to third. I certainly wouldn't bet against him.
Kranswurm Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Blood bags all waiting in the team busses for tomorrow!Does that sum up your opinion of the pro peloton?Why are you even bothering to follow or comment?

Jewbacca Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Does that sum up your opinion of the pro peloton?Why are you even bothering to follow or comment?She said 'refuel' etc... Geez. Calm down. I follow because I love bikes, I love riding bikes, watching people ride bikes, seeing the hurt. Do I think that everyone I watch is clean? No. Not at all. But it doesn't make the entertainment and the passion less real. It's entertainment. How it entertains me might be different to how it does you. That is what makes everything beautiful, we are all different. If you can't have a giggle over imagining their tour busses looking like a scene from Universal Soldier are you even alive?
