TNT1 Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Edit, unless like Lance says, this is a stupid stage finish with the decent after the Cat 1 climb. The GC guys are not going to go hard here, as everyone would just come back in the 15 odd kms from the top of the Cat 1 to the finish.
The Ghost Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 He not getting any airtime but I don’t think the group have caught him

TNT1 Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 An attack came he couldn't follow..Story of his career, innit?

The GC guys are not going to go hard here, as everyone would just come back in the 15 odd kms from the top of the Cat 1 to the finish.Lance thinks every thing is stupid if he wouldnt have liked it when he rode. Stage is catered for the breakaway ?
TNT1 Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Lance thinks every thing is stupid if he wouldnt have liked it when he rode. Stage is catered for the breakaway ?Well, that is indeed daft if they built a route to cater for a breakaway. The route should be the route. A break needs to craft some brilliance from it to get a stage win, that's what makes a ride like this from Lutsenko so special. Take it on and win in spite of. Also, I'm a huge Lance fan, even more so now then when I named my son after him in 2006, so you wont get my vote.

Gen Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Very chilled back in the peloton..considering that its a long difficult climb. Think Ineos set the pace not to do anything but just so that they don't find themselves in trouble.?

The Ghost Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Other than seeing Aru have a go and a strong effort by Lutsenko it’s been rather dull, but I suppose it’s week 1 and there’s no need to pull the wheels off just yet.

It looks like they keep trying to stick to their playbook from previous winning tours, when that wont work for them here, and they seem to have lost some spark. Is it Portal? Is it G? Dunno, something is off in their racing - tactics, ability, preparation.

Gen Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Ja GVA sit on wheen and attack the guy who paced you up the climb[emoji852]
