Men's Road Cycling UCI World Tour 2020 (Tour de France)

[Grassmarket 3,450]

Pierre Roland is France’s officially nominated Polka Dot Jersey winner this Tour.  Wanders off the front to collect the points: nobody bothers to challenge.

 

Hmm....just noticed something interesting.  If Chris Froome goes for the KoM in the Vuelta he would become only the third rider ever to do the career Triple - Bahamontes & Luis Hererra being the other two.

Bernal gives up - is now back with Greipel & Bennett in the Bad Boys group at the back of the classroom.  Easily the thinnest guy there.

Kämna taking a big lead on the final descent.

 

Closes it out with a big solo win as Carapaz gives up early.

 

Long wait till the yellow jersey group comes in.

 

Once again Quintana cannot keep pace with climb monster Wout van Aert.

He is still around?

Guess the plan will be for him to help Chris Froome in the Vuelta.

 

Early green jersey action today, but nobody getting away.

Sam Bennett took the intermediate - well, 10th or something - so looking good for Paris.

Pogačar sneaks out of the second group & snaffles the KoM points, putting himself into the virtual lead.
