heywoodu 13,499 Posted October 25, 2020 #21 Share Posted October 25, 2020 This is sad though, 24-year old Barceló is out because he had a bout of tachycardia during yesterday's stage and (logically!) the team doctor wants medical checks to be performed on him to rule out significant heart issues.

Grassmarket 2,715 Posted October 25, 2020 #22 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Roglič has been gapped on the very wet & cold final climb. Richard Carapaz & Hugh Carthy doing the damage. Jon Izagirre gets the win. Leaderboard is now Carapaz Carthy @ 18 Martin @ 20 Roglič @ 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,499 Posted October 25, 2020 #23 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Well that was a rather epic meltdown by Jumbo-Visma today If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

heywoodu 13,499 Posted October 27, 2020 #24 Share Posted October 27, 2020 My entire top-3 for today is in the lead group. That's the good thing, the bad thing is they're with 33 others.

Grassmarket 2,715 Posted October 27, 2020 #25 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Often wonder if Basque political militants would get more international support if they didn’t write all their posters in Basque only Lordy, blowing a gale. Ineos driving the peloton back onto the escapees. Got a group of 5 big names over the top of the cliff - think they are fighting for the win now. No break among the overall leaders. Valverde is getting some useful time back. Michael Woods goes for it....wins! Countdown for Valverde....gets about 50 secs. No other big changes.

Grassmarket 2,715 Posted October 28, 2020 #26 Share Posted October 28, 2020 We have literal actual vultures following the race today, so not a good time for out-of-contract riders to crash. 20k to go, breakaway almost caught & peloton approaching the big final climb. Hugh Carthy goes for it on the steepest part of the climb, Kuss goes with him, others struggling. 3k of agony left. Valverde like a roulette player in Vegas - is losing everything he gained yesterday & more. Carapaz & Roglič now going for it, Carthy & Dan Martin trailed. Vlasov going for the stage, truce among the top four. Final is Roglič. Gains about 20 secs net with bonus. Carapaz Dan Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,499 Posted October 28, 2020 #27 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Froome finishing in the grupetto with the likes of Jasper Philipsen and Mihkel Räim, lol. And that's going to get millions of euros from Israel next year If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Grassmarket 2,715 Posted October 29, 2020 #29 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Fans of boring sport in for a treat today with long flat sprinters stage through post-harvest wheat fields. 105km to go. Should be a Sam Bennett day, barring crashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,499 Posted October 29, 2020 #30 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Wind could have made it interesting today, but alas, that was not to be. Favourite Pascal Ackermann already was involved in a crash today, so he might not be the favourite anymore. We'll see.
