Deep dives
Stage 20 Insights
The stage 20 of the tour featured Tadej Pogacar's fifth stage win, showcasing his dominance. Jonas bounced back strong, securing 2nd place. The time trial tomorrow will be pivotal, with 10th and 11th placed riders closely separated by 22 seconds, making it a crucial battle.
Cycling Gloves Mystery
Many riders, including Pogacar, opted not to wear cycling gloves, sparking curiosity about the trend. The absence of gloves could be due to temperature regulation or personal preference, possibly driven by improved hand dryness, despite the increased risk of slipping or road rash in crashes.
Italy's Cycling Drought
Italy, historically a powerhouse in cycling, currently faces a dry spell in the top standings of the Tour de France. Giulio Ciccone stands as the sole Italian rider in the top 10, emphasizing Italy's current cycling struggle amidst a rich cycling heritage.
Adjusting to Time Trial Bikes
Riders cooling down on their time trial bikes is likely a strategic move to acclimate to the positioning and muscle usage unique to these bikes. With limited time on the TT bikes, cooling down provides vital practice and comfort ahead of critical time trials, ensuring readiness and optimization of the bike setup for peak performance.
In spite of all the efforts, it appears the podium is set for tomorrow barring and accident. Lance points out that there is an interesting race tomorrow to watch between 10th and 11th place. Also, Bobby Julich joins the show to compare coaching and nutrition today vs. 20 years ago.
