Pendant que le #TDF2019 boucle ses 3500 km de parcours aujourd'hui, d'autres cyclistes se sont lancés depuis hier dans deux très longues épreuves d'#ultracycling : la Transcontinental Race (TCR) et la NorthCape 4000 (NC4K).
(oui, c'est le début de mon petit suivi annuel de ces transhumances cyclistes)
Previously on "La TCR, c'est quoi ?" : la plus importante épreuve d'#ultracycling en Europe, 7e édition, un départ (côte bulgare de la mer Noire), une arrivée (Brest), quatre points de passage obligatoire. Et le tout à faire en autonomie totale. #TCRNo7

A last minute route change may have thrown a spanner in the works, but it isn't going to stop tonight's #PreviewTime!

Stage 20: Albertville > Val Thorens (59km)

This is it. The big one. The last chance saloon. Who's going to win the GC shootout?

#TDF2019🇫🇷

PREVIEW THREAD👇
Well, today's stage was, erm, how do we put it - unpredictable?

From Pinot abandoning the race at the start of the day, to Mother Nature calling an abrupt halt at the end, we really did have it all!

Definitely one for the history books.

#TDF2019🇫🇷
Despite all the drama however, we did get a very interesting GC dynamic unfold on theIseran - Team INEOS finally assuming the dominant control that we've always known them for.

Whether their original plan was to send Thomas or Bernal on the attack...

Grab your crampons guys, we're going climbing again 🧗‍♂️
#PreviewTime

Stage 19: Saint-Jean-De-Maurienne > Tignes (126.5km)

A short stage, but no less barbaric than today's brute of a route. Again, this is all about survival. Who's going to make it?

What an absolute belter of a stage today, right? Admittedly it was a bit of a slow burner, but boy was it fun to watch it explode on those final slopes of the Galibier.

#TDF2019🇫🇷
Still, despite a flurry of attacks from the INEOS boys, and a crack from Alaphilippe, the GC remains very much as it was when we left the Pyrenees - with only Bernal gaining on the GC contenders.

THIS. IS. IT. The moment we've all been waiting for #PreviewTime

Stage 18: Embrun > Valloire (208km)

We've finally made it to the Alps and beginning of the end of this year's epic race. Time to don the oxygen masks, tomorrow we're heading above the clouds!

We're now at the business end of this year's race and within the mountains we've all been waiting for since the moment the route was first announced!

The GC is tighter than ever, 2:14 separating the first 6 on GC, and just 36 seconds between 2nd to 6th! Mental 😱

#TDF2019🇫🇷
With the gaps so tight and the mountains we've got to come over the next three days, I'd bet my house (conveniently my parent's house😉) on the GC royally exploding - the final results looking vastly different to how they do now.

Missed me? Let's get right back to it. #PreviewTime

Stage 16: Nîmes > Nîmes (177km)

Probably the last chance for the sprinters before we get to Paris. But are they going to get it all their own way? Or can the break spring a surprise...

#TDF2019🇫🇷

PREVIEW THREAD 👇👇
If this stage was anywhere else on the race it would be a guaranteed sprint day.

But it's not.

It comes a day after the final rest day and just before we head to the Alps for the gruelling, grand finale of this year's race.

#TDF2019🇫🇷
A lot of teams have burnt many of their matches, and those teams with the top sprinters (Jumbo, Quickstep) have burnt more than nearly anyone else.

These top sprinting teams now have GC ambitions and a realistic chance of winning this race outright.

Cose inutili di cui improvvisamente sentiamo un gran bisogno: il materassino gonfiabile a forma di divisa della Jumbo-Visma.

Ci dicono sia in vendita in tutta Olanda, qualcuno ce lo porta? 🏖 Image
