Tour De France 2020 with SPOILERS

[Adam4868]

Marginal gains - earlier in the stage, why do GC riders have their own bottles? Get the domestiques to carry them for them? At least 750g saved?

Appreciated Pinot was out of it but I wondered why above isn’t done on seeing that he had 2 bottles still in cages on climb (appreciate don’t know how much was in them).

Bottles....I refer you to stage 19 of the 2018 giro.Possibly the best stage of a GT in the past at least 10 years...
I'm not really biased 😁

JV May have missed opportunities to put time in to rivals, some of whom(Bernal and esp Quintana) may get stronger as the race gets deeper. I don’t understand TD setting such a hard pace if Roglic wasn’t going to attack, TD could have ridden at a lower rate and maybe not drop other JV riders if Roglic was only going to defend....

Looks like Roglic couldn't go with Pogacar and no wonder,he was untouchable out there yesterday.

I'm presuming that Aru doesn't have a team car back with him, so what happens if he has a mechanical, is he just screwed?

Grrrr, 5 hours of recorded Eurosport and last 2 or 3 kms of stage missed again! Highlights to the rescue.
Would have been last day of Vuelta today, they will appreciate the more benign weather for sure, now finishes Nov 8th.

which is why i only record the itv 4 highlights, it might not be the bestc overage but at least you get the right program

The trouble with uninterrupted Eurosport Player coverage is that you get no relief with adverts from Carlton's inane wittering and mis-calling
