Tour de France Stage 4: Amiens – Rouen (174.2k)

[Filippo_3467]

I hope from now on no team is delusional enough to not go into the break if you are not called Soudal, Jumbo, UAE or Alpecin on the hilly stages.

Great to see the development on Gregoire, Onley and Vauquelin but the can't win against Pogi and MvdP.

Great stage design when the world's 3 best riders fill up the podium

 

[noob]

Pog couldn't have done this without Almeida. That makes me SAD

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

THJ +30
Mas, Roglic +32
C.Rod +39
Gall, Lipo, Buitrago +54

 

[Devil's Elbow]

GC riders pretty woeful for this kind of stage depth wise.

 

[Boehmand]

The trouble for us fans is that Pogacar rode like this both when he won and when he lost, so who the f… knows where we are week 3?

 

[Tymek]

Number 100.
He did it.😀

 

[Peyroteo94]

Almeida is gonna drop Remco so hard in the mountains after this performance

 

[proffate]

So far I believe ving is beating Teddy in the race for velogames point efficiency

 

[E_F_]

Visma doing their best Uno-X impression.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Show of strength from Pogacar. But Vingegaard looks to have narrowed the gap from last year from what we can tell.

But the two aliens are in a race of their own with nobody else really bothered about them, everyone else already riding for third on GC.

It looked like he had a little mechanical when Pog was really attacking, lost a little, then pretty easily caught back up again. He's ready for this Tour.

Enric mas location?

with Roglic attached to his wheel

 

[VanBsr]

I find it incredible how fast the pace has been so far in this Tour. They are riding at full speed. It feels like the guys are going as fast as they can possibly pedal even though if physically some still have reserves. Yesterday too.

 

[Mayomaniac]

APP not waiting for Gall after getting dropped himself, I understand not dropping back when you're still up there, but afterwards...
Gall with Gall postitioning on top of the penultimate climb, but what can you do?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Pog superb today. Vingo looks much stronger than at the Dauphine, as does Remco. Great to see VdP in the mix at the Tour finally. Wish Roglic and WvA were up there at the front as well.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Show of strength from Pogacar. But Vingegaard looks to have narrowed the gap from last year from what we can tell.

Vingegaard followed on San Luca last year as well, so hard to tell what today means.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It looks like they have recorded a gap between WVA and Roglič, but I don't understand why he was sprinting like that for 11th place.

Pogi may have 100 victories, but I have a much, much higher number of failures to my name.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Vingo has been on same time and only down on bonis, not really in trouble

Yeah. He's waiting for the ITT and the big hills.

 

[Didinho]

The pace in the last 20km killed Mathieu’s sprint. Still 2nd is impressive and keeps yellow.
Pogi KOM leader again?

Remco had to do everything alone the last 3 hills. Hope he’s fine for tomorrow.

Pogi insane win #100. Great final and UAE did it perfectly. Almeida was behind that crash and suddenly in front and key for the stage win. Insanely strong.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Red Bull disaster

They need to clean house this winter. Roglic, Lipowitz, Pellizzari and Meeus have had one good week each this year and everything else has been a disaster all season. Something is deeply wrong.

 

[Filippo_3467]

THJ +30
Mas, Roglic +32
C.Rod +39
Gall, Lipo, Buitrago +54

Will be an intense battle for 8th to 12th in GC like every year. I think Gall can make up a lot of gorund against the others in the Mountains. C-Rod also pretty consistent.

 

[Boehmand]

Vingegaard spent too much time in the finale looking for WvA, I’d argue he and Jorgenson could have taken turns going to take the win, as everyone else was alone.

He needs to be less of a “team guy” sometimes.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Van der poel really should have hit the brakes out of spite after he realized that he wouldn't win, so that a gap opens and Pogacar has to ride the TT in yellow.

 

[JosefK]

Vingo has been on same time and only down on bonis, not really in trouble

I was a bit surprised that Jonas was so strong on the punchy climbs. He looks great, so far.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Yeah. He's waiting for the ITT and the big hills.

I don’t take much from this because this has consistently been where Pogi always attacked, whether he won or not, so we won’t really know until probably stage 12.
