Eldron Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Wow! Ewan came from a loooong way back for that one. Even a jink from Bennet didn't stop him. Pure Savage and The Ghost 2
Gen Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 And Sagan should be leading the green jersey competition now...points points point that's all we want.
Gen Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Wow! Ewan came from a loooong way back for that one. Even a jink from Bennet didn't stop him.He is very good like that.. almost like a catapult... Eldron and Pure Savage 2
Vetplant Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 NTT delivered Nizollo perfectly, but about 100m too soon. DieselnDust and dsw 2
Orbit Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Everyone talking about Ewan’s speed to come from so far back... But that bike handling at full pace to thread the needle against the barriers was just insane. That’s about as pro as it gets. Gen, babse, kosmonooit and 4 others 7

dsw Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Super sprint. Once Caleb somehow found space between Sagan and the barrier line he was unstoppable. Well done to Peter for holding his line .. he must have been tempted to just slightly lift an elbow   Pure Savage 1

J Wakefield Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 I am going to assume that the high pace and aggressive racing was partially responsible for the load levels. Do you think that the stress for some to do well in order to potentially make the TdF team also played a role in the load levels as well as the aggressive racing? Or were there other factors? Yes and the route it was 5 GT Queen stages back to back. Without a doubt Tour team placement stress is there, many teams made rider changes after that week of racing.  Guys also haven't raced in long time, so they were keen to show their worth and many contracts are up and teams folding so jobs are tight. Mntboy, Vetplant and DieselnDust 3
J Wakefield Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 WTF? The books?????? We are cyclists not accountants! ( well, ok I am an accountant - full disclosure) Let the sodding Ineos outfit P*ss off and read books This is the TDF. not a local junior crit whose result gets posted in the local free rag outside SPAR. They are not racing for the books. They are racing for me and you, the fans. Let them go out and F**********king earn strava segments if thats all they want They racing as a job and a pay check and to do well personally whether that is winning or doing the required job asked.  Many fans stop watching in all sports and sport always carries on. Pure Savage, Gen, Nibali and 1 other 4
Gen Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Also...BORA win the Mask game.. branded differently every day..[emoji4]They also have really cool name sponsors not only extended as Dale mentioned before but they really are fun brands Nibali and Wayne pudding Mol 2
'Dale Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) As diminutive as he is, Caleb has such an advantage over the rest especially with a headwind finalè. Mark Cavendish has a similar profile. He can hide all day and lower his drag coefficient lekka and conserve energy. Chapeau to his team for protecting him too. 3 stages, 3 different team takes glory.The mountains beckon. Cool on-board camera footage depicting the chaos and intensity ???? : https://youtu.be/_KoOTG1k3eo Edited August 31, 2020 by 'Dale Dirt Tracker, Frosty and Gen 3
