2024 Paris-Tours: Chartres › Tours (213.8km)

[Tricycle Rider]

Jerseys, riders, and bikes so muddy now you can't even tell who's who from the front view.

 

[Heston]

Looking at the riders from the back, it looks like they all had salmonella for breakfast.

Laporte usually gifts or is gifted the race when he finishes a classic in a sprint-a-deux. Which will it be today?

 

[Salvarani]

Morgado puncture

Fretin dropped

 

[ciranda]

Vacek is faster and looks fresher too

 

[tobydawq]

Vacek is faster and looks fresher too

Faster than Laporte??

 

[Samamba]

Faster than Laporte??

50-50 I would say but he looks better

 

[tobydawq]

50-50 I would say but he looks better

I definitely don't think he should be faster on paper. That's not to say he doesn't have a chance but a weird claim to make.

Laporte got outsprinted by Jelte Krijnsen earlier this week lmao. He looks better today tho, but still I wouldn't say he's faster than Vacek right now.

Love the determined look on Laporte's muddy face - ciclismo!

This could still be touch and go with the chase group

 

[Samamba]

Kirsch such an underrated rider.

 

[Salvarani]

Kirsch such an underrated rider.

Has had a good season as well

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pedersen is doing a great job of showcasing the difference in outcome of a ridiculous solo between the best of the humans and the best of the aliens.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

One of the best races of the season, by virtue of being, well, a race. Looking forward to, idk, Guangxi, maybe?

 

[tobydawq]

Boring sprint coming up

Fitting end to this one

?

 

[Tim Cahill]

That can't possibly be my boy Piet Allegaert up there there's absolutely no way.

 

[Salvarani]

?

!

 

[Samamba]

Ah the typical Lotto doms trying the impossible to just see De Lie getting himself boxed in in the sprint for 3rd place

 

[Tim Cahill]

Vacek showing a lot of confidence given the amount he's pulling

 

[titan31]

Laporte being a bit smarter here

 

[Salvarani]

Vacek too generous

 

[Tricycle Rider]

1km to go, peloton 30 secs behind...

Vacek or Laporte? Ooooh, this is exciting!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Don't lead him out what the *** are you doing!!!

 

[titan31]

Well that was anti climactic
