Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 1 (Copenhagen – Copenhagen, 13.2k/ITT)

[70kmph]

Van Aert saves cycling again

 

[roundabout]

Yates must be a Spaceballs fan

 

[johnymax]

What a ridiculous top 7 at the finish for now.

You mean top 8...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Lol Pogacar. He is in another level. Tour is over, I'm pretty sure

Barring crashes and Covid the Tour was over before this TT too.

 

[memyselfandI]

Pog, how? Looked somewhere between careful and chilling, beating them all except wout...

It was obvious from the start looking his huge speed on straight sections while taking corners easy smooth.

 

[Bonimenier]

Asgreen could do very well with the better conditions

 

[MrTea1976]

Will there be another twist? Marc Soler, now is your time.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Could see some surprises with the roads drying up. Major egg on face moment for all the big names who deliberately went early...

 

[spalco]

Tour de France over, eh?

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

It's never bad to win a stage at the Tour, but from a tactical perspective it sucks for Jumbo to have the responsibility of the maillot jaune while their GC riders are behind Tadej in the standings.

Well, tomorrow will be hard fought because of that bridge anyway but I expect them to not defend it at all afterwards (as in chasing the break). Wout will be happy to have it but I don't think he cares to keep it for multiple days.

 

[Red Rick]

Overreaction FC back at it again lol

 

[JosefK]

Tour de France over, eh?

Was over since the end of last year's TDF.

 

[roundabout]

Did Asgreen crash?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Thank you Magnus Cort for confirming that it IS possible to ride for Vaughters and not go full Vaughters with the POC bucktooth blobfish helmet.

 

[Rollthedice]

It will take a lot of luck to beat Teddy Pogacha in this Tour.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Did Asgreen crash?

At least he did before the Tour, which is why he didn't expect to do well today.

 

[Samamba]

Pls tell me it's going to rain again or Bettiol is actually winning this

 

[roundabout]

Did Yates break T1?

Ok, he didnt

 

[Ripper]

Pogacar casually beating Ganna...

I know ... lol

 

[Cagalitroso]

Pog should target a sprint stage this time to make it interesting.

 

[Ripper]

Pog, how? Looked somewhere between careful and chilling, beating them all except wout...

How would need to be discussed elsewhere

 

[roundabout]

Laporte FTW

 

[JosefK]

Pre-crash Roglic from 2020 Dauphine > Roglic 2022.

 

[memyselfandI]

Asgreen could do very well with the better conditions

Quick feeling is that straight speeds are around 10kph slower than current top3..

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The greatest is going to win.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Laporte with the new fastest intermediate, could end up being a really random result after all...
