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

[Peyroteo94]

Seeing EF riders cheering Healy, really reminds me a pub when people drink a all beer in one second.

I don't get Visma, why didnt they start pulling earlier if they wanted to keep Pogacar in yellow, lol

They pulled. Benoot was pulling, but they miscalculated.

 

[Potomac]

So do we know who was pulling in the peloton to almost keep Mvdp out of yellow?

 

[Unchained]

2 sprint stages coming up after that, so UAE won't have to do anything and stage 10 I guess they'd control anyway. So overall I don't see how that was worth it.

If things play out predictably, UAE keep pace heated, deliver Pogacar on base of climbs before rest day and see if he can beat a few seconds out of top 10.
Remco's ride looks more important today and Vingegaard's substandard TT looks worse days after.. And when Pog was shoulder to shoulder with everyone he had a little more juice than everyone in the micro sprint they did today..!!

Did you just drink a all beer in one second?

 

[Red Rick]

Healy is really low key breakaway Evenepoel being a CdA beneficiary and long solo merchant

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

Why didn't he refuse to wear it a couple of days back?

 

[Red Rick]

Why didn't he refuse to wear it a couple of days back?

Because he led the classification and couldn't refuse.

Remco looked pretty relaxed to me at the top of the hill today; a very good sign.

This stage was a TAPESTRY of ***

Three stars you say?

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Guys in 1st and 2nd really need a good dog groomer to work on them.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

They pulled. Benoot was pulling, but they miscalculated.

If they were pulling for Pog in yellow, they must‘ve planned that only after Van der Poel got dropped hard, I doubt that was a plan. They just knew too late that it was even possible.

Three stars you say?

Yes! Three stars out of a million!!!!!!!!!

Old lady asked MVP if he is single.. You could see she was disappointed when he pointed out blonde waiting for him..

 

[CyclistAbi]

Because he led the classification and couldn't refuse.

Let me ask it this way then, if polka dots jersey was really such a gift from Pogi to Tim, as the media spin it, why did he now refuse to wear it.

For sure

Pogi interview right now, seems a bit irritated at Visma. 😂 Seems to think they were trying to keep him in yellow…

The old lady knew she didn't have a chance, because she was a brunette.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Healy giving a great interview on how he dreamt of being in the Tour as a kid, so winning a stage is just super, super awesome for him.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogi interview right now, seems a bit irritated at Visma. 😂

If he is, Visma will suffer. However I understand why they behave like this.

Because ScroogeMcPog had taken back the gift

 

[noob]

Only little Aussie girls are afraid of him.

I'm not a little Aussie girl but I find him rather terrifying. Not always, but it's there. A wrath underneath, a composed outer. And I saw that in him before he jumped 2 Aussie girls.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Because ScroogeMcPog had taken back the gift

It was a loan. Those come with intrest.

Tim? Belgian Champ > no #2 in polka dot classification

 

[awavey]

Lol I saw Healy was in the breakaway group with 45km to go and thought hmm hasn't done a solo launch for a stage win for a while I wonder...😂
