Bernal, Pogacar, Martin: 5 reasons to follow the 15th stage of the Tour

2020-09-12T18:25:48.274Z


Before the second day of rest, this Monday in Grenoble, the 15th stage between Lyon and the Grand Colombier offers this Sunday a sizeable challenge for the Colombian and the Slovenian, dolphins of the Yellow Jersey. Not to miss.


For the Grand Colombier.

Honored for the first time with a summit finish (1501 m; 17.4 km at 7.1%).

The panoramic view and the breathtaking spectacle can be combined with an explanation at the top.

Since 2012, when the Grand Colombier entered the Grande Boucle, the test has been passed three times in the mountain located at the southern end of the Jura massif. 

For Egan Bernal.

Beaten and scored at the top of Puy Mary (13th stage), as in Orcières-Merlette (4th stage), Egan Bernal (Ineos-Grenadiers), the title holder, evolves in the shadow of Primoz Roglic and his Jumbo- Visma.

The Colombian (3rd in the general classification 59 seconds behind Primoz Roglic) will face a new test.

In order not to waste time, maintain the hope of the 3rd week, or to try to resume some to breathe better and switch with a little momentum.

For Tadej Pogacar.

The Slovenian (2nd overall at 44 seconds) has the legs and the desire to attack whenever the terrain and circumstances lend themselves to it.

He says he doesn't want to stop.

And he accompanies his words with significant acts.

Its start-up and its ability to cash in on efforts can find a springboard on this 15th stage. 

For Primoz Roglic.

The yellow jersey dominates the Tour.

But the Slovenian does not crush him.

He is not a minute ahead of his main rivals.

Its position is both indisputable and fragile.

Without a new coup, it remains at the mercy of a day without or of a mechanical problem.

Enough to strengthen his vigilance and make the stage a highlight.

For Colombians.

Behind the Slovenian duo Roglic-Pogacar, appear 4 Colombians (Egan Bernal, Rigoberto Uran, Nairo Quintana, Miguel Angel Lopez).

A group shot before a possible alliance between them to doubt, or even overthrow the solid Jumbo-Visma?
