Tour de France Stage 6: Bayeux – Vire-Normandie (201.5k)

[dobrien]

The stage starting in his home, today is the day for a huge Kevin VauqueWin

This would make me very happy!

Forty years ago, I sparked a girl in Bayeux.
Thousands of miles away, a butterfly flapped one wing and we drifted apart. Today, Gouvenou takes me back through the mists of time to a scene of indescribable beauty.

Any interviews from UAE or Alpecin about their intentions today?

Hiding intentions of evil intentions under the smile of a saint.

 

[Heston]

Picnic says they plan to put Van den Broeck in the break and keep Onley in the peloton.

Is “sparked” old man slang for “banged”?

UAE: We are gonna put 3 guys in the break, keep them on a tight leash with 3 other riders in the peloton, Almeida will lead out Poggi for the stage win.

Don't be so vulgar. It means starting a romantic interest.

Must be an irish phrase, sounds like topcat set her on fire, and not in the romantic sense. Nothing wrong with that of course if that’s what she was into, 2025 and all that, different strokes etc..

 

[dercuforever]

Will Schachmann and WVA try to win the stage from breakaway or wil they be on leader protection duty ?
I noted Gregoire, Mohoric, every single EF, Louis Barré, most AG2R for the break.

 

[Heston]

Gregoire says he hopes to be in the break.

MVdP says he will join the break if it's a large group.

Looks like a breakaway win.

Every single Jayco should have such ambitions too. O'Connor early GC collapse is the least surprising thing of 2025.

Laurance said that he expects Arkea to try to keep things together for Vauquelin. But obviously, they'd need help

 

[Peyroteo94]

Vauquelin will try to win today so if he doesn't enter in the break, Arkea will work IMHO.

That seems really optimistic from Arkea. But maybe. I guess they don't have much else to do.

There's apparently some nonsense going on with Vingegaard refusing to wear the polkadots because they got the wrong sponsors on it and it would violate some rules regarding promotion of gambling that recently got prohibited.

Why is he wearing the polka dot jersey? Wellens is in front of him.

Wellens is a national champion and thus can refuse to wear a jersey that's not actually his.

I bet her name was Jeanne

Had a crack team of lawyers on all night pouring through legal documents so he doesn't have to don that abortion.

Damn these UAE mind games are petty.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Looking forward to this, hopefully some guys a bit down sneak in to get some time back, hopefully too early for the lesser teams to start defending positions.

 

[Samamba]

Intermarché is going to control this for intermediate

Understandable. They need the points. Milan too.

So we'll have to wait 20kms.

What a pity... so we will have 20 km of nothing

 

[Filippo_3467]

Ok a new tactic... but is it a smart one? Milan then will win the intermediate. If they would try to attack with Girmay maybe he wins it...
