Terrible crash for Wout Van Aert who hooks his bike into the railing at full speed. Ambulance has been called to the site. pic.twitter.com/4LgFnajpSi— Patrik Bexell (@Zeb_Habs) July 19, 2019

some more perspective on Rohan Dennis https://www.velonews.com/2019/07/tour-de-france/commentary-denniss-departure-leaves-more-questions-than-answers_497636Cycling Podcast’s Francois Thomazeau heard from Seb Picquet that Dennis had told Picquet before the race to “count him out” which seems to indicate it wasn’t totally spur of the moment very weird

crushed for sweet baby Wout ;_; what a horror crash that was
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 20 July 2019 02:48 (four years ago) link
Terrible.
BTW there is no way I see King Julian holding the jersey after stage 15. The Peguere is not too hard sounding at 9.3km and 7.9%, but the final 3km of that is 16-18%.
I was impressed by uran today, bur he’s STILL almost 4 min back. ☹️

holyyyyyyy shit that was some finish. King Julian!! That was a goosebumps performance, cannot wait for these mountains nowGet yr popcorns
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 20 July 2019 04:41 (four years ago) link
And yeah, Rigo putting himself back up in the standings was an impressive effort, though being that far back still is gonna suck. Nairo & Yates kinda sucking wind atm now too.

Caught up with the TT and what a ride from Alaphilippe and de Gendt. Definitely one for the puncheurs as Vos demonstrated in the morning. Maybe that went in Alaphilippe’s favour a little but there was plenty of regular time trial as well.

Lala up the final steep section was some jordanesque shit, someone superperforming in your FACE.

Half of Directe Energie in the break today. Rocket in the team bus this morning.

Where is Alaphilippe hiding? I haven’t seen him since switching on.

Alaphilippe bunnyhopping the traffic island early in this stage was McEwanesque

alaphilippe wearing a casquette on the podium too - none of this baseball cap nonsense

great stage!
very strange tactics from Movistar.
good to see Ineos not-dominating a grand tour for once.
― Ludo, Saturday, 20 July 2019 17:51 (four years ago) link
movistar imploding was amazing. tactics just completely fell apart because they couldn’t respond to quintana dying.
― Fizzles, Saturday, 20 July 2019 18:20 (four years ago) link
that finale satisfied on so many levels, even the heli shots were rad.
― Hunt3r, Saturday, 20 July 2019 18:56 (four years ago) link
Fkn Quintana, his team should just kick him off the side of the mountain - they busted their ass for him for nothing!
"Nairo was not going well, but he didn’t tell us a thing. We didn’t know he was going like that.” Movistar's hard pace on the Tourmalet shed its own leader, Nairo Quintana, from the bunch: https://t.co/kSCcGT1ne3— VeloNews (@velonews) July 20, 2019

King Julian still reigns, Pinot gets a stage win, and G cracked like an egg on the final climb! man I am loving this tour

and this made me teary, baby Wout is the best even when he’s out of the race
When you have no tv coverage in the teamcar and instead get updates from the hospital bed, then you know you have a real teamplayer in the house.Thanks @WoutvanAert pic.twitter.com/hmef6IAE4X— grischa niermann (@grischaniermann) July 20, 2019
