You'd have thought he'd learned his lesson in LBL?. Hands up, celebrating, going over the line & nearly caught out by MVP in the sprint. To say he shat himself, by his face, was an understatement. Lucky laddie. It would have been hilarious if MVP had pipped Alaphillipe on line. You really couldn't make it up. His DS must have had a heart attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggyness Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Alaphilippe looks back to his very very best. Close to and arguably better than the rider at the tour last year 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must still be favourite for Ghent Wevelgem at the weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 So Bernal unlikely to ride the Vuelta. Froome going to be supported principally by Amador, Carapaz and Henao. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on their form this year, it could end up with Froome supporting Carapaz for the GC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggyness Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Paris-Roubaix cancelled.[emoji17] Best race of the year and especially disappointing given was due to be the first female edition. Totally understandable and correct though. On the plus side it means one fewer thing to split my attention between on super Sunday! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to think they'll increase the testing frequency now. Also hadn't realised that the vuelta was cut to 18 stages! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Cavendish admitting after Ghent Wevelgem that his career might be over, but is in talks with Bahrain McLaren about extending his contract beyond the end of the year. He may yet ride the schelderprijs in a few weeks time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure somebody on twitter said he was looking to beat a second crossing as well, that I/Eurosport missed in the split coverage with the Giro.

kiddy Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Alaphillippe, season over, crashes into m/bike in RVV, whilst in lead group with WVA & MVP. Looks like collarbone. Just leaves the other 2 with a lead of 40 secs on the peloton. 27 km to go. Lead 1.14 with 17 km to go.

Moto rider getting pelters, but there was no reason for Van Aert to get that close to the motorbike. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
