2020 Tour de France

[Chris_]

MS do not give two hoots about controlling the race.

 

 

Edit

 

They found each other and now on the front

 

Sucks for them to put work in on the front, when their yellow jersey man will always be tooling around in the back of the peloton.

 

Edit: i see you beat me to it

Yates and MS happy to concede the Yellow to GVA for now? Just to get the pressure of expectation to control the race off their shoulders?

Mmmmm Nairo... reckon he should give it a go today

Imagine that CCC are kind of like there each man for himself..imagine then all of a sudden having to work to defend yellow..

He actually just irritates me.. no way Ineos will let him pull crap like that when he joins them next year.

Today is a day for super slow motion moments.. the TV producers are practising

The team has no sponsor for next year right? So all of them riding for an opportunity in another team. Difficult times.

 

Practically, I think TonyM and WvA will pitch in with the workload then.

Yep.. as it stands they have no sponsor for next year ..GVA going to AG2R don't know about the rest.. but yeah shame they have to do something during the TDF to catch a team's eye and get a job for next year.. Edited September 3, 2020 by Gen

I am not really a GvA fan but I wouldn't mind seeing another yellow Giant. Last time was Marcel before he went and got all depressed and stuff.

My pick / hopes for today 

 

Nick Roche (he has never won a TDF stage and time is running out...)

or

Eddy Bos

Weird thing on the DSTV Now App for me:

Variety 1(206) has no audio, all other channels have audio. Took me a while to remember they also broadcast the stage on Grandstand(201).

Those onboard footage clips with audio from inside the moving peloton made me suddenly miss the 947. Something unique about a well coordinated group pacing along on cleared roads. 

 

Suddenly a bit sad about no events in 2020

UCI is quite the Spy organisation..
