Grassmarket 2,757 Posted August 6, 2020 #214 Share Posted August 6, 2020 We are off again with the Dénivelé Mont Ventoux, which as its name suggests...... Nairo Quintana starts as favourite, also young Russian Aleksander Vlasov who was second in the Occitanie earlier. Exotic presence of the Cambodian Cycling Academy team, which has no actual Cambodians in it. Ineos not in the race today so Astana are playing the Ineos tactics - everyone to the front of the pack & grind it out. dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassmarket 2,757 Posted August 6, 2020 #215 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Pierre Latour & Guillaume Martin do the heroic-but-doomed early attacks with 8k to go. Still in the woods, though. And as soon as I hit Save, Latour cracks. Martin climbs on alone. 20 secs on the peleton. Vlasov attacks, Porte & Quintana follow. Into the moonscape now. Quintana gets left behind so now it’s down to Martin, Vlasov, Porte. Vlasov is now off solo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassmarket 2,757 Posted August 6, 2020 #216 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Vlasov wins it, Richie Porte second, Martin third. Good race, gets us in the mood for the big races next month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassmarket 2,757 Posted August 7, 2020 #217 Share Posted August 7, 2020 We’ve got another French regional race with a star-studded field, le Tour de l’Ain, over in the Jura Mountains by the Swiss border. Bernal, Froome, Thomas, Roglić, Dumoulin, Quintana...... https://www.tourdelain.com/ Sprint day today, big climbing days Saturday & Sunday. Should add that Stage 3, Sunday is a near-replica of a crucial TdF stage next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassmarket 2,757 Posted August 7, 2020 #218 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Very weird finish! All the main GC riders powered along at the front until literally 100m to go, sat up, looked around for the sprinters - nobody there! Young Italian Andrea Bagioli stole the win.
