Tour de France 2020

Is it true that there are KoM points available today, but only based on the fastest rider over the last 6km? If so, Carapaz can trundle along for the first 30km and just hammer the climb, whereas his main rivals for the polka dot have to go full gas for the whole distance.
 
This climb looking like total torture for these earlier finishers. It’s known as the ‘race of truth’ with good reason, just an exercise in sheer pain threshold tolerance.
 
Holy fuck, what did we just witness there?

Roglic blew up but that ride by Pogacar was simply incredible.
 
The best since Lemond. That was the last stage on the last day - the only time they finished the Tour with a TT. What a day today was. Felt so sad for Roglič but what a ride by Pogacar.
 
Brutal. Was great to see Jumbo lose out and a boring rider finish off the top step.

Pressure may have got to Roglic. In 2018 when in virtual podium heading into the ITT on the 20th stage, he lost a minute to Dumolin, Froome and Thomas. Ending up in 4th place overall.

Nothing like an ITT at the end of a GT to expose fragility.
 
Roglic must feel how I felt between the Mackie and Aguero goals.

He handled it well though, going over to congratulate Pog. Going to take a long, long time to process and get over that. Won't help to have it talked about for years to come.

Given some of the emerging talent he might not get another chance like that.
