Olympian1010 7,470 Posted September 19, 2020 #582 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Two key battles today: Maillot Jaune and KOM. In terms of the KOM, the points go to the fastest man from the bottom of the climb (second time check) to the top of the climb. Pogacar will have to race a true time trial since he’ll be hunting a the Maillot Jaune as well. Carapaz would be smart to ride the flat part at a moderate pace before blasting up the final climb. Roglic is also still mathematically able to win the Polka-Dots as well. It’s nice to have this much excitement at Stage 20. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

With a little note for Carapaz: don't go too slow on that flat part, there's still a thing called a time limit Personally I think Pogacar will beat him even while having to have a full time trial, simply because he's a stronger climber. I really hope he can surprise and make the yellow jersey fight interesting, but normally Roglic shouldn't have that much of a problem in holding him off.

heywoodu 13,540 Posted September 19, 2020 #585 Share Posted September 19, 2020 What a ride by Cavagna, even utterly destroying Kasper Asgreen. Tony Martin at 5 minutes flat, lol.

Grassmarket 2,749 Posted September 19, 2020 #588 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Cycling has ultra-high tech everything, but still needs 20 for €1 safety pins to attach numbers to €5000 skin suits. Big names starting now. Everyone on the road now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassmarket 2,749 Posted September 19, 2020 #589 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Pogačar gains 12 seconds......strike up the accordions.
