Van Aert ain't in the race anymore, tho.
How can they know the time gaps for certain? GPS is not that reliable. Do they clock and camera at the top of the mountain? I think Bernal only had 40 seconds on Ala ; )
shitty ending
colombia blessed
Bernal is based, I bet you didn't even watch the Tour de Suisse this year you pleb
Sad for Alaphilippe and the French. This was an all-around rotten day for them.
Happy for Egan Bernal, though. In the few interviews I've seen of his, he seems like a genuinely nice guy and has all the makings of an exciting career.
Not possible to ride through the snow or the tyres are just not capable?
Alaphilippe abandon!
Back when we still had men. Fuck this pussy shit. At the slightest snowflake they cancel everything these days. Same with the Giro.

Why don't they just reset the stage and ride it again tomorrow with the same differences as the start? And Pinot also gets to start again too
FUCKING KEKS RIGGED SCAM
Yeah whether it's man made or not is up to debate, but I don't like the fact that people who don't agree it's our fault usually also deny there's any change
Sure maybe we have nothing to do with it but there's definitely a shift going on

I doubt it because they will just throw money to hide the evidence as they have in the past but pls be true.
once all doping-cheaters are busted, around the year 2025, the 7th will have won it.
no need to sweat it LOL.
truly the most devilish sport
According to Eurosport France, if the race doesn't start again, the stage will be canceled. Times taken at Iseran are not official and therefore cannot be taken into account.
:)
It would have heled them more to see Alaphillipe lose another few minutes on the last climb, if that happened (hypothetical but who knows)
>No official times at the top of Iserand
>Same times as yesterday taken with Allah in yellow with 1'30 ahead
>This is our sport
British cycling fans: /lifelong/ since 2012.
I think it obviously benefits INEOS and benefits or netzeroes ala, he would have hemorrhaged even more time on tignes. Buchmann and kruijswijk were the obvious losers. Hope allah goes on an alcohol bender on the val like my boy landis did

Just imagine the seething from anglos if this happens
No. But if they revert after having said bernal won todays stage they will look like idiots i dont see the stagr being canceled

Not sure how I feel about Bernal winning the Tour

Mate of mine knows a lad who went over for today's stage. Worst holiday ever.
Should use some of that salt to de-ice their roads.

Baffled.
Rai is saying 00:45
The classement is now as close as it could get. Tomorrow will be brutal.
Uran absolutely SEETHING
You might be right to be honest. And it's so unfair to the riders to cancel the race at a point which is more advantageous for some than others, especially when other riders might have had attacks planned.
wait so is pinot TECHNICALLY still in?
Ineos is bad
Am I a cunt for supporting my local team :D

Yeah Eurosport just said they don't know if they are taking it from the top of the Iseran now. The Eternal Frog strikes again.
the rumours are picking up that they will discount this stage completely. no time gaps!
Ineos?
More like Wineos.
If you support them because of Bernal no, if you support them for the uk dopers yes.
>not being prepared for some ice and snow
pussies
>Literally one of the biggest hail storm ever recorded in the region happens 15 minutes before the riders of Tour de France pass there

At least the uk dopers got btfo.

>Pinot stung by a bee/hit his thigh/got told to withdraw or else be exposed as a doper - either way dead
>Allahphillippe so dead he lost to some moderately cold water
Will this day be remembered as the darkest day of French Sport in history?
I don't get why people can't seem to understand this. Sure, Bernal still probably would've won, but Alaphilippe may not have gone balls to the wall if he knew all he had to do was get to the top of that second to last climb.
>vinokourov got thinner
>skelly wiggins became fat fuck.
looks like Sky couldn't stop itself from raining hail lol
15min later and that flood would have hit the riders live.
we missed the kino of the kino lads
Bernal is clearly doping, right?
They way he rode up that mountain wasn't normal
He's Ineos what do you think ?
i just want a frenchman to win it. Real france (cycling France, Motorsport France, rugby France, petanque France) deserves to win something
Based at least he will keep his podium.

ah yes my local chemical conglomerate cycling team whose owner lives in monaco to avoid paying tax in his own country xD
The opposite. A few years ago on undulating 8% roads: 89 year old boomer on a steel tourer went past my new crabon machine like he was Marco Pantani. Said 'alright lad' as he flew by I could hardly speak but tried my best to laugh.
>Pinot got injured 2 days ago trying to avoid a CHUTE
>Was injured yesterday but could go on even if it was very painful
>Couldn't survive today
F
He lives at 2600, that's normal for him. For the others it was hell.
hmmmm
big if true
For fuck's sake. He literally rode in a fucking car up the last climb.
This shit is rigged.
They literally rode him in a car to give him a yellow. Are people fucking blind?

right so I looked up the official rules. basically they can do whatever the fuck they want
He wanted to save his contract.
>bernal definitely isn't a doper but the uk riders are even though they ride for the same fucking team
What a load of cope.
Imagine how much thrill this would have added to the race... riders getting randomly swept away by mudslides
Get up today intending to back Bernal for GC and stage win.
Don't leave the house.
Sit here quietly seething.
Such is the life of a worthless lazy cunt.
It's coming home lads

Very sad.

Jesus the main thread is pure seething autism.
I'm East Mids at it's all pretty flat near me (i'm not a frequent cyclist though i'm trying to get my legs and lungs back). Where do you get 8% inclines? Peak District, Wales, Scot? Some of these boomers are tough fuckers
turn out tdf watchers are fucking retarded
Closer than ever mate. Based Egan, and based Nairo what a bad assess.
Can'tana btfo
Bernal wasn't part of the british cyclying doping program.
>not backing your countryman
This should be made a criminal offence in my opinion
helped Bernal
nah m8 I support based Wout Poels too
I prefer Bernal to G
This made me chuckle :D
>anno domini MMXIX

no he was part of the infamous Italian continental team doping program instead
You got an actual snicker out of me. Nicely done.
Dumb retard.

HAARP activated.
THE STAGE GOT CANCELLED
Literally East Midlands but I'm not saying where. There are 6-8% switchback roads everywhere here, but they're short climbs. In a way it's worse because you can't grind and local boomers have legs like rhinos. My bike is fucked now so at least I have an excuse to hide from them which I will do until properly fit.
no high altitude and more medium mountain stages next year so Allah can win
All results of today's stage cancelled. No time gaps. Pinot starts tomorrow
kek
I've never seen a live cockroach in my life
Is that our lad, /drijftenue/?
Uran lost a Giro in circumstances like these, he forever mad now
There is more mountains in general though.
Go to your local kebab shop and keep your eyes peeled. You should only need a couple minutes.
Void it
I have also never seen a cockroach. Don't think we get them over here
Why was Uran Uran mad at Nibbles?
>*wins the tour de france 0 (zero) time*
/drijftenue/
Bernal with 45'' lead
17:56
The time bonuses at col d'Iseran are taken into account. Here are the provisional overall standings:
1. Egan Bernal
2. Julian Alaphilippe, at 45’’
3. Geraint Thomas, at 1’3’’
4. Steven Kruijswijk, at 1’15’’
5. Emanuel Buchmann, at 1’42’’
Seriously guys, nobody cares about Paris stage. So they should redo the stage tomorrow and do the 3rd Alpin stage Sunday and finish the TdF there. FUCK PARIS STAGE !
nibbles told him "remember the giro?"
why are you posting a former world champion and fleche wallone winner in a tour de france thread
Jumbo will go hard tomorrow to get on the podium
So the stage is completely cancelled but the col bonuses are counted in?
tfw no french will win the /tdf/ in your timelife
>*dies this year*
They should do top 10 GC guys on Alpe d’Huez on Sunday and send the sprinters to Paris
just no stage winner
but times counted
>fellow EM user
Noice. At least there are lots of NCN routes nearby that escape the city and into the countryside
allah flip should just attack on last stage
fuck you pussy ass ceremonial shit
Based
Just found this nugget :)
Think about it; the only reason Bernal will win and not thomas is because Alaphillipe won the TT and had those 2 minutes advantage. G would have won it again
>viviani pulling for flip in paris
based
Gaudu will win in 2025
>attacking on a flat short stage
le shitty of you
or maybe because G is considerably worse than Bernal in mountains
looks like she fuck black riders
For me, it's EL ELFO
Get fucked Eurocucks
yes but if G was in yellow, bernal would be forced to work for him boris. Thats what we have seen the past few days even
*** TOMORROW ***
Anyone but France and GB lid
Bernal said fuck G though
>All the GC riders just follow on his wheel
>Going round and round the circuit together with nothing happening
Who /columbiano/ here
Bernal wife a qt
Any chance of stage 20 getting more kilometres to compensate the kilometres lost today?
No chance
Read again, if G was in yellow al those days, not Julian. Bernal would have worked for G like the ratfaced sudaca he is
hes married???
Chicano spotted
What time does it start tomorrow ?
Yes but he wasn’t really working for G the last few days like you suggested
here, I am watching the tour while working
GC riders are climbcels and wouldnt be able to folllow him in paris terrain
you can easily adjust your hematocrite level with medicine, and I have no doubt all teams do it to reach precisely 49,9% and be just 0,1% under the limit
I’m telling on you :P
>Kys
Bernal is a good guy
Not in the last days indeed, but before he did
*cries*
yes the ratfaced brown new froome is a good guy
Yes but being used to it also play a part on the race.
nah, I really hope to see frog in yellow one day
What do you have to say to them?
Maybe that year when Bernal decides to do the Giro.
FUCK THIS SHIT, ALAPH WAS THE YELLOW JERSEY FOR 15 ON THE 21 STAGE. HE SHOULD BE AWARDED THE YELLOW VEST ANYWAY

MY SWEETEST FRIEND
Is the Tour really popular in Colombia. The presentators were saying it will be a giant party in Colombia if Bernal win and things like that
He's actually happy with his performance, he's not a sore loser like britcucks.
both bernal and contador have harelips, coincidence? I think not, damn epo causing niggas to deform
the chad jesuphilippe vs the virgin alaphilippe
Second most popular sport
1. This shithole is bandwagonner central, whenever someone wins something everyone is interested in the sport, HOWEVER
2. Cycling is indeed the sport which has seen the most colombians winning stuff, even back in the day, so there are a lot of actual /lifelongs/ cheering for him
>1. This shithole is bandwagonner central, whenever someone wins something everyone is interested in the sport, HOWEVER
Every country is like that.
no really, just happy for him, and obviously the media giving all the atention on him, He deserved it all our sportsmen that archive something big is only by him
no
Many people in France hate or don't watch the Tour at all, maybe more than 50% of the population
siamo tutti allenatori della nazionale
alphaphilippe will TTT with his team on the Champs Elysees,gain 5 minutes and win the tour
ok gracias
> that archive something big is only by him
the only reason peoples pretend to like kayak and other stupid sports at the olympics is because we have a chance to win gold
QuintANO won the Giro and vuelta, pretty big accomplishment tb h.
maybe, but it is still a very small part of the population who cares about it
that's because the last french winner was so long ago, which is the point of the user above
en.wikipedia.org
me refiero a que en colombia no hay instituciones ni nada que los potencie, quienes ganan y alcanzan algo son los que la pelean y sufren. Creo que me entiendes.
Colombia's love for the sport goes beyond the recent victories in Europe, a lot of people just love it
When I was a kid I used to go to the south of France to do Kayak with 'UCPA'. I loved that shit but there isn't a lot of place to do it in Belgium.

I hope he don't miss that yellow shirt.
Yes he was taking a big shit lmao.
hurrr people don't care in which sport we win medals
No, even at the time it wasn't that popular. French are winning in sports that no one cares about. In small and irrelevant countries like Colombia every victory is a national event. You can't compare everything.
it requieres rivers with a bit of flow to be enjoyable i suppose ?
My father want to travel to Colombia to do cycling there. Can he do it alone and come back alive ?
ofc they do dummy they'd rather win the 100m than a dart contest
The lack of intereset come from the doping scandals.
It is still the main sport in some area (Nord, Britanny).
What a beautiful bastard. If he does it, he will be the biggest sportsman in this god forsaken country.
Like yall just won mens doubles at Wimbledon... wait a minute...
Il y a la Lesse dans les Ardennes belges mais c'est tout plat et pas très fun.
J'étais qqpart dans les Alpes avec l'UCPA et là il y avait des rapides et tout, c'étais plus fun
Nobody cares about tennis, too. Except when Federer plays, for some reason
I don't assure that, if he goes to unknown areas and at times that he shouldn't, probably you won't see him again, sorry.
Stay strong Egan there is still another stage tomorrow.
>le plat pays
pas de chance
>for some reason
His GOATness I guess
depends, if he has some friends here it may be a great experience, but completely alone is a bit dangerous
It's over for this little cheater rat, I will personally make sure that he DIES in tomorrow's mountains.
I'm 6'4'' and 90kg but I wan't to be the new goatboy. Is it possibke?
Ayy nigga I work at an Alpine UCPA every winter
It's better if he goes with a group (it's safer because of traffic), but other than that the regions where cycling is practiced are the safest areas of Colombia (Boyacá, Cundinamarca, Antioquia)
>petanque
We're fine.
is this, dare I say it, a RUDE post?
Superman got assaulted once and they stabbed him to take his bike, tell him to stay wary.
>Antioquia
>safe
hue
Actually ive been wondering recently, is there a reason why cyclists wear socks that go so high up the ankle?
No, but you have GOAT trap potential
>the safest areas of Colombia
Doesn't mean much at all
sucking his dick tonight and letting him fuck all your family hmm maybe
Yeah, no problem at all. There's lots of cycling groups here, with tons of routes and places to go, so he can search that. Antioquia, Cundinamarca and Boyaca mountains are the best spots. You have different kinds of weather, amazing scenery and delicious food.
For track cycling
>rugby
pffff dont remind the branlée we are going to endure end of the year
SHUT THE FUCK UP MOVISTAR
he's already dead
Just become a sprinter.
You probably never go out of your house so your ignorance is understandable
I missed Kayak since then :(
He's a bit of a leftist in his way of thinking 'Ofc it's not dangerous, the media are exagerating' 'they're just poor' bla bla bla.
But yes maybe his idea of Colombia was with his cycling club rather than to travel alone.
All I know is that he really wants to go to Colombia, and even more since my parents divorced. Prepare some bundas
spot the englishman
>You probably never go out of your house so your ignorance is understandable

So, we agree Kruijswijk is the only one who can ruin this, right?
Shameless Tour doing everything in their power to save Bardets polka dot jersey otherwise Yates and Bernal would be like 10 points behind
>shithole wins shitty tour
Yawn
Shut the fuck up, your opinion doesn't meant anything.
living in a foreign country and believe themselves with the moral and legal authority to say how it is without knowing anything.
if you are an exiled colombian COPE and worry about the united states and stop thinking about where you are not.
>kruijswijk
Hahahhahahahahaha, he already tried attacking today and failed completely
He probably just wanted to fuck some hot young colombian now that he's divorces, you should have gone with him.
>Kruijswijk
>Meer als Zuigwijk
you have to realise that all of them dope
its not possible to do what they do without doping
Stephen Cruiseship would have swam across the water and the landslide for a victory today. Fuck the tour
You mean ruining his own tour?
Believe it or not, Kruijswik (32 y/o) never won anything as pro aside of Arctic Race of Norway in 2014. Even his 3 podiums on stage races were all 3rd places. I still can't understand how the fuck it's possible.
He doesn't attack.

For how long have you been watching The Tour, lads?
Julian was never a contender, what he did is already amazing and it shows potential for a GT win with a good team and good preparation
Ala was definitely the strongest throughout the 2 first 2 weeks.
However...the high mountain stages and the lack of a strong team to support him, and with a Bernal who was born and lives at that altitude...he would have lost it tomorrow the latest.
1997
Next year Pinot wins the Vuelta and Julian wins the Giro.
Bardet wins Tour de California
what are those kind of scars on his legs ?
But should he really focus on GT ? He has a huge career in the classics ahead of him. Why would he risk that to maybe won a GT ?
Yes and smiling like that so quickly after what happened shows what a great man he is.
>Julian wins the Giro
nope, it'll be Giulio Ciccone year
He's coming to Ineos.
since 2008
the start of the glory years
Mas has the ocasio cortez phenotype
It literally didn't rain once. I was 100% right.
Since pic related, I still miss him
I watched a bit during Armstrong years, but was a kid then and wasn't very interested. Started to watch closely since 2011.
>bardet wins
What would happen with time gaps if there was a break? Say like yesterday when Quintana was 8 minutes ahead. his could have been a lot messier. Lucky the GC guys were up there with Tete
you wish
I don't think Julian (in the current condition) can win the other 2 GTs, they have too much mountains.
He could win a Tour if they make one tailored to him, with less 2000m+ of altitude mountains.
Also
>Pinot wins the Vuelta next year
Why not this year?
Being GTs make you more popular and gives you more money, may as well try if they design a tour decent enough for him.
sure bro, sure
It did when they were descending.
>thinking 0.2mm of rain is anything to worry about
yes I am sure.

1997, went to the one day classic in my city back in the day too, saw Zabel, Cippolini and them lot

well I think it's kinda bad to torn your quadriceps lad. Season is over I guess
*outclimbs pinot*

3-4 months probably intensive care, after that a few more months to get back on form.
Or he can join INEOS and recover a life threatening injury in less than a month.
He won a stage in Tour de Suisse. I remember that.
>ASO gives el Colombiano the yellow
>retroactively neutralizes stage
Would be most baste in history, though we all know that would never ever happen.

>There are no quick fixes for RSI.
Okay, so why wouldn't one of Allaphillippe's teammates just throw himself under Bernal tomorrow, I mean, by a sheer accident that is and right when he attacks?
Things happen, you know.
Since the Armstrong years when I was a kid.
I remember rooting for based Ulrich.
his teammates are all dogshit
Shit it's serious, I was hoping for a redemption arc ala Yates.
Because the whole team would be DQ'd by the tour jannies and if they weren't every team would fuck them up on the way to Paris and for the rest of all bike history.
Shame what's become of Ullrich; all those years in 2 and only winning on a technicality must have put a big number on him.
That's the stage ranking
pffff, be worried about the French public instead
Most funny moment in this stage definitely was Barguil though.
I could have imagined some French rider even blockading Bernal, but instead he helped him pacing him up before blowing up himself.
Toppest of my Keks
>If I can't win le tour neither other frenchs can win it
What place is Nairoman in now? Do u think he is happy for Bernal
I couldn't link directly, you have to switch
it's up now!
Best stage performance for you in this Tour so far (doubt tomorrow will be fireworks)?
For me, it was defintiely the Alaphilippe's ITT performance, the duel between him and Geraint. That got my blood pumping like a mad man and I felt a rush of adrenaline.
Probably, he's a good bloke that doesn't old grudges, even to moviestar that constantly tries to fuck him over.
He's 8th btw.
Barguil about to get ROASTED
That and the 2 Pyrenees stages where G dropped.
Actually gave me hope a French could actually win it in a long time.
yes, but he was trying to enter the Top 10
lel, is bretons actually britons in disguise?
>toi t'es quand meme un sacré débile d'avoir pris un relai a Bernal .
>un sacré débile
Ebin, simly ebin
>not recognizing the GOAT
Shame
Been watching since the Indurain years, but since I was a kid I don't remember much about that. The first tour I really remember is 1998, based Tour de Dopage. Festina and TVM got BTFO, Virenque arrested, the riders' strike, Boogerd doing well in the national jersey, Ullrich losing 9 minutes in one day and Pantani won in the end.
>toi t'es quand meme un sacré débile d'avoir pris un relai a Bernal .
AYYYYYYY
Who is this guy and why is he wearing a yellow jersey? There's no mention of him anywhere
When did this guy wear the yellow jersey, what tour i mean
dont recognize him
>indrugain
good times man
kek
I don't even own a bike ;_;
Is it possible to buy an okay bike for 500€ ?
>Tu as porté bien bas le maillot de champion de aujourd’hui Warren .
rude
Since 1990, but I was too young to remember too many specifics about that one. I remember LeMond taking chunks out of Chiappuchi's lead each stage.
>Ullrich losing 9 minutes in one day
it takes a steady diet of nose candy to keep the Jan moving
>Twitter strategists
That's a nice glass of EPO there.
>tfw was a full on Lance fanboy
>I have that kit and his LIVESTRONG one
At least I threw away my band haha...
I got a carbon fiber with ultegra shit for 500€, go hunt used bikes, plenty of freds that buy expensive bikes, use it a few times and then give up when they realize they are shitters.
Okay, but what about this ?
Not saying anything will happen, but the crowds can be kinda shitty.
Probably about 10 years at this point, although I also used to watch bits of it when my dad was watching it back in the Armstrong era (my dad's been into cycling for quite a while, at least since the '80s and maybe earlier).
That's a human, not a goat. Actually on closer inspection I'm not sure if it's even a human. Looks more like a cancerous boil.
tomorrow… Bernal… tu eres muerte…
Doubt they have anything against Bernal... yet.
I think they'll behave. Bernal has not been around long enough to get the French to hate him.
2006, pereiro lol
Sure, they were all roided out of their brains, but you can't deny that the EPO era provided some exciting racing.
Jumbo team director: "It should have been communicated earlier. We knew what kind of final climb there still was to come so Kruijswijk paced himself. If he would have gone full gas he could possibly have followed Bernal"
We were robbed REEEEEEEEEEE
LE SEL FRANÇAIS
I have the 2001 USPS jersey and some stuff of the cycling collection he did with Nike
>If he would have gone full gas he could possibly have followed Bernal"
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
They should legalize it all, I'm ready to see riders with actual horselegs blast off the front. Riders win races and begin immediately feasting on bystanders in bath salt madness
Reminder that Tignes is cursed.
It was also the end of the stage after which Rasmussen was removed from TdF.
Never go there again TdF, never.
Plus he would definitely not have lost time on the final climb and most likely finished 1st.
Never gonna happen because media and sponsors won't pay millions to show kids how cool drug abuse is
Cheers mates.
ne les écoute pas, Bernal n'a pas une chance de rallier l'arrivée vivant demain
>other thread has 2455 replies
>this one hit bump limit too
What a day guys, holy shit
imagine one stage with electric motors allowed, 9 Kg limit on the bike but no change of batteries
tech development would be huge, like in the F1
The Italian guy is right, you can usually get some pretty sweet deals of second hand bikes. Personally my bike I got for £100 (€110) and it's an early '80s road bike. Unfortunately I did have some problems with it but it's not that bad. For just getting around town it's fine. But if you wanted to do proper workout rides then maybe something a bit better would be more suitable. But yeah for €500 you could get a decent road bike suitable for proper rides.
Also another option, if you didn't want to go second hand, would be somewhere like Decathlon. Their budget road bikes are well-reviewed. The Italian guy is right though that if you go second-hand then you can get things like carbon fibre and Ultegra which you otherwise would never get on a brand new bike for €500. It's up to you how you want to spend your money at the end of the day of course. If you are a complete beginner then perhaps you wouldn't know what to look for when looking at second hand €500 road bikes. In that case, if you really are very new to bikes, maybe just get something very cheap, like €100 - €150, as a "getting around town" bike so you can learn a bit about bikes before spending more money on a decent road bike. Completely up to you though. If you wanted to go straight for a road bike good enough for doing proper rides then go for it.
What does the column B mean ?
He's absolutely right though. I think this is such a shitty way for a stage to end, it's ridiculous. It's unfair on Allah Philippe too. And all riders. Makes you no fucking sense. Bradley Wiggins was saying they should have just paused the race, got them through the puddles and shit, then resumed racing. I think he's right.
accumulated bonus seconds, I think
Bonifications : time earned on top of climbs
Or finish

pinot4ever
Benis bonus
>video unavailable
we had a pre-stage thread too
and a lot of retards still used a yesterday thread even to comment on Pinot giving up today
Wait what the fuck this is a 33% slope?! i thought they had these kind of slopes in every mountain stage, lame.
Epic, almost every comment shits on him. I think he'll be in a bad mood tonight.
Also

Kruijswijk group being placed at 1:03, I just rewatched the footage and they were only 58 seconds behind REEEEEEEEEEE
FUCK YOU INEOS
The footage is not perfect, just a bunch of calculations.
that was for
I’ll ask again: has a white jersey ever won the Tour?
>rooting for based Ullrich
I mostly remember his first time descending, nearly diving into a ravine every corner.
Ullrich did it in 97.
Fignon, I think?
Andy Schleck kind of did
Fignon.
Fignon in 1983, Ullrich in 1997, Contador in 2007 and Schleck in 2010.
Merckx would have but it didn't exist when he was riding.
Just watched it again. I stopped 58 seconds, but German commentator said 55 seconds as they crossed the line. 55 + 8 seconds bonus would be 1:03.
Now we know he was drunk
So they got a discount? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>postaltrain
>neilstrung wins
>exciting
commentators have the official timing on a separate monitor
96, 97 and 98 where the only somewhat exciting stages during the EPO days.
No Bernal is 1:11 more ahead of Kruijswijk than he was yesterday so the bonifications are not included in that 1:03
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
^
G will get the jersey tomorrow
STAY MAD
>Geraint Thomas: I will fully support Bernal now at Tour de France
>Ullrich
Drug cheats don't count.
>singling out Ullrich when Fignon, Contador and Schleck are in the same sentence.
Sure, we can believe Figgy didn't use drugs other than amphetamines(I want to believe) but Clenbutador and SAXO Schleck were not clean.
>Drug cheats don't count
where do you think you are ?
Contador doped later, sure, but did he dope for 2007? And I've never heard anything about Schleck doping.
In a thread about a sport which I like which is why I don't want it ruined by cheats and frauds. Maybe you do though. But I don't.
>DS was Bjarne
Sure, it was possible him and Fronk didn't, however they did fall off a lot after leaving SAXO BANK.
well unfortunately for you they take drugs
Landslide on the cormet de roselend shortens tomorrow to a 60km shootout, including the val thorens climb
Crazy stuff.
Geez, so only 1 climb tomorrow?
big digits incoming
BOOOOOOOOOO
Surely they can find an alternative route. Now we need some crazy weather and chutes
We always get the comfy weather while everyone else downs or is in a heatwave.
Looks like even more inclement weather tomorrow, so zero descents because someone WILL die if crazy shit happens again. Valley road from albertsville to the roundabout on the OG route up the val thorens. Gutted for allah, i think his only chance for 1st was a cheeky downhill attack after the cormet. I think this benefits allah's chances at a podium since there's less climbing total but this new stage really benefits the INEOS train.
HAPPENING
Just move tomorrows stage to Helsinki. Its like +30c and no clouds and shit. I want my rain and snowfall thank you
Is it even any mountains?
Is there a new profile for it anywhere?
The way the tweet reads it starts where it was going to and then go in a different direction to finish "near" where it was going to finish.
This is bullshit.
nah he had no chance. he even said so himself. he'll probably lose the podium tomorrow. if anything the shorter stage might help him keep it.
kek
Wtf? Source?
So pretty much the same climb, just only that climb.
Well shit, might as well just drive to Paris tomorrow.
La Flamme Rouge twitter
alaphilippe will probably win the sprint
you too mate lel
these two stages will go down as one of the biggest farces in tour history once Alaphillipe is exposed as doper
What a farce
Ineos will do a team TT until none of the contenders survive
>59 Km
1 hour and 30 minutes?
Perfect stage for a Quintana ATTACK!!!
>here comes a lesson in trickery
Evidence that modern successful riders are doping?
Trickery for what? The tour is over, they just handed Ineos the win.
I work at le tour
Alaphillipe will attack at the bottom of the climb and is dragged 3 meter behind a moto till the finish, then Jane D'Arc and JVPITER descend from heaven and play la Marseillaise
Should have at least make them climb it thrice
>exposed as doper
wew
First 30k will be about 45 minutes, unsure on % but last 30 might be longer than 1 hr.
wrong they handed their favourite frenchman a podium spot
>we want Allah to keep his podium - the stage.
Friendship with le Tour ended now il GIRO is my best friend
Didn't they have to change some stages up due to having alpine stages in may, when there's still snow?
oh I forgot about the heavy rain, silly me
almost 2 hours for sure then
yes they had 3 or 4 meters tho
FUCK HAIL
FUCK LANDSLIDES
FUCK INEOS
FUCK PRUDHOMME
AND FUCK JANNIES
Yep they changed the biggest mountain of the whole Giro to a 2000mt mountainlet.
happens quite often, especially for the highest climb
How do we get rid of Prudhomme ? Surely there is someone who can plan better stages than
>le bardet cant TT course man
Van der Poel is half french
*Matthias von der Pöl is half german
>half french
>that dutchass name
"No."
>he doesn't have Excavator Simulator
big yikes
Bernal is still dying tomorrow, though
He literally is Poulidor's grandson
will you poison him like Ronaldo 98 ?
No shit, interdasting.
Should kill Thomas instead tb h.
Something less subtle and more bloody
W-T-F
This will be like the good old EPO days.. we'll see teams with sprinter-tier pacelines going full speed into the mountain
It's time to stop crying and to post cursed cycling image.
his mother his french. And he speaks french better than you speak english.
Invite him for a pre-race picnic with snacks, memes, shrooms and some light organ harvesting.
French-Dutch racemixing is beautiful
>Van Aert is 4channel
>Van der Poel is reddit
Discuss.
Literally the patriarchy did this.
That's unfair, they're both based and we're lucky we get to see them in action.
What a huge letdown. So much for 3 epic Alp days. I get it, safety blah blah, but meh.
>tfw no Dutch speed skating gf
>he speaks french better than you speak english
Not hard since I am with an extra chromesome ;c)
lol that smirk knows he would win years later
is that you on the picture?
We will have two seething riders and DS who will blame the organisation for the next 12 months if they dont finish on the podium
Everyone knew, if we're being honest.
Don't do anything you are gonna regret friend, we are having the best tour in years.
Also you may get caught by the gendarmerie like that old man that tried to assault Froome last year.
oui oui baguette
Will be definitely interesting now how Jumbo and Bora tackle tomorrow's stage.
Ineos won't do anything unless the Jaune is threatened. It's up to Jumbo and Bora to set a high pace, trying to crack Alaphilippe to battle for the 3rd podium place.
Only Allah guides my actions.
Went for a cute golden hour evening ride. Was pretty comfy.
inb3 you yell ALLAHFILL AHKBAR before you kill INEOS.
you look okay friend
you too friend
what could be realistically done is to pay some random brown man in Paris to attack Bernal during the race. he'd accept and get away with it because the police would never dare touch a PoC.
I'm too smart for this world
Krujiw will be SEETHING, also I was watching an highlight video and he did actually tried to attack today but was caught up literally a few seconds later by Thomas lmao, they talk a lot about their lost opportunity but in reality they had nothing on their legs .

Think the organizers would change the stage to another ITT or are they unironically going to do a 59km mountain stage?
There was a 60km stage last year too.
Right after Thomas tried to attack and was caught up literally seconds later. So that's a wash.
actually, I will watch it unironically and enjoy the /rug/ thread
South Africa vs Japan was one of the best thread ever on Yea Forums in 2015
Well, you know, Michael Johnson managed to recover from a strain fracture in 2 weeks thanks to US healthcare magic before becoming 400m world champion.
Beautiful scenery you have their Dane user.
It was uncharacteristically pretty honestly. The setting sun always helps of course.
