kosmonooit Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 Nicely done JA! That was beautiful..... Jumbo, Ineos and Asstana had no response...... Time will tell whether letting JAP escape up the road was a mistake, they probably don't see him as a GC threat.
Mountain Bru Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 Non starters: - Degenkolb (time cut)- Gilbert (kneecap)- Rafael Valls (Femur) Not a bad considering the mayhem yesterday. Feel for Degenkolb, on that kind of day you'd think they'd cut him some slack. He put a massive turn pulling Caleb back up as well. The peloton is going to be a patchwork of gauze, bandages and tape today and the hotel bins will be stuffed full of shredded kit. Wonder what Vino and Astana can be a d1ck about today? Degenkolb wouldn't have started today regardless of the time cut. Apparently he hit his knees pretty hard yesterday and it seems the reason he didn't make the time cut was because of his injuries: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-637DCJ1Ds4)
Mountain Bru Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 Hi guys, any suggestions on any sites streaming the Tour ? I truly can’t see myself listening to Mcrossen for the next three weeks. Right now the next 3 hours is a stretch. I listen to Lantern Rouge's ""commentary"" while watching SuperSport on mute. If you enjoy his dry sense of humor, it's pretty entertaining even though it's not as slick or professional as proper commentary. You have to subscribe to his Youtube Channel though to get notified when he starts the Live Stream though cos he doesn't do his commentary for the whole stage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYSHTO6HDrA.
Ispeed_V Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Glad to see that Gibbons managed to finish as rode with his dad yesterday morning and it was touch and go as to wheher he would be on the start line.
Thomo Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 “It was a bit of a stupid crash”, Dumoulin said.Glad there isn't too much blame being thrown about.To me it looked like a combination of being cut off somewhat on a bend at the same time that he was looking over his shoulder.
Vetplant Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Alex Dowsett @alexdowsett · 8h "Seems Jumbo Visma could have the same issue Ineos had last year in the TDF... What to do about Alaphilippe and his Alaphilippe-ness"

Irishj9 Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 I live in Ireland so no need for a VPN, I’m not sure [emoji848] f anyone in ZA has managed it through a VPN. Yes it works through Express vpn. ITV live coverage every day. very simple to set up. Not free of course
TNT1 Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Was it discussed here already, what the hell was up with Jumbo's tactics yesterday? Did they borrow a page from the Movistar racebook? Roar along at the front for km after km, and then simply disappear right before Alaphillipe attacks? What was the point of all that?
Gen Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 With so few chances for the sprinters I can't see the break surviving today.
Vetplant Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 With so few chances for the sprinters I can't see the break surviving today.Yep, agreed. Make the break to get some airtime for the sponsors, but know you have zero chance of success. PS. I might regret this post later today... stranger things have happened.

Eugene Oppelt Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Almost more important than the race are the machines on display as bicycle brands showcase their product: Pic: Dave Everett
DieselnDust Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Dont be nasty .... LA was the best in his time .... none of the other dopers could keep up with him. AND LA actually managed to ride in the rain ..... even managed to drift off the road, down a grass embankment, onto the road to carry on racing .... the wippersnappers still need to catch up the LA .... And....Cyclingnews "name the winners of the last 50 TDF's" acknowledges Lances 7 wins so he can't be all bad. Vino though....
gummibear Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Almost more important than the race are the machines on display as bicycle brands showcase their product: Pic: Dave EverettI was hoping that Shimano was going to release a new Dura-Ace group at this years race.
