The Ghost Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 I thought Sagan would pull more of a gap on this climb.
Chris_ Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Sprint jersey continues to be more exciting than the maglia rosa race
The Ghost Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 But can they close a gap after the next climb, we shall see
Gen Posted October 16, 2020 Author Posted October 16, 2020 Sprint jersey continues to be more exciting than the maglia rosa raceSeems I missed quite the stage.  [emoji102]
The Ghost Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 DQS really look like a team that have got it together I must say.The others seem a bit more hit and miss at the moment.
Jewbacca Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) DQS really look like a team that have got it together I must say.The others seem a bit more hit and miss at the moment.Stage wins and long stints in the GC jersey seem to be their modus operandi over the last few years! The Wolf Pack is the 'fun' gt team. Their near 800 wins, almost 100 GC stage wins, 15 world champs etc just shows how much they focus on racing bikes. Not GC, not categories, but wins. The Wolf Pack is life......

Vetplant Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 55rpm cadence up this climb! No bike changes yet, all riders going for TT bikes and just grinding up the 1.1km climb.
'Dale Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) A bit tricky with the Ca'del Poggio early on with 1 km at 12%. Not too long as well at 34 km, then again, rolling terrain. Manage energy poorly and blow too soon. Manage energy too conservatively then lose the opportunity. A crazy fool would bet against the Italian and TT World Champ.  The race of truth for the GC contenders. Gonna be interesting who's who in the wattage zoo after a cold, wet and testing week. Edited October 17, 2020 by 'Dale Vetplant 1
dsw Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Not a lot of time trial skills amongst the top 10 in GC.Almeida, Bilbao and Kelderman are arguably the best amongst them.
Vetplant Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Almeida with a solid ride there. He might be in Pink till the "end", with a fresh batch of Covid19 tests incoming after tomorrow. The Ghost 1
Gen Posted October 17, 2020 Author Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Almeida with a solid ride there. He might be in Pink till the "end", with a fresh batch of Covid19 tests incoming after tomorrow.They did a round of testing (not sure if it was all the teams or just those who had cases) Thursday and Friday..all negative.. ..Sunday evening and rest day another story of course [emoji3061]..let's hope for the best.

dsw Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Ganna looks as if he is from another planet.. Since Indurain and maybe Cancellara I have seen nothing like this. It is scary to think what he can still achieve across the different disciplines. The look of resignation afterwards on Rowan Dennis ' face ( who himself had a brilliant ride) said it all.  Jewbacca and The Ghost 2
Gen Posted October 18, 2020 Author Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Fuglsang in trouble here on the last climb. Edited October 18, 2020 by Gen
