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

[memyselfandI]

Wrong hotel!

 

[Bonimenier]

Snowflakes here meaning people who don't like cheats?

Aaah... The tears... Give me more please

 

[postmanhat]

If he got the boot because of the socks it would be both hysterically funny and the end of cycling.

99% option A here.

 

[glassmoon]

Now we really need Froome to save the day

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

What happened to Laporte between T1 and finish, did he crash?

Crash; just as Robbie McEwen was commenting on how well he was taking corners.

nice that the guy who should be suspended right now likely wins...

 

[memyselfandI]

Froome looking like 2013. Let's hope that, shall we?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I don't think Sepp Kuss' time trial skills are that strong?!

 

[ontheroad]

Froome getting ready to begin the drive for five!

Snowflakes here meaning people who don't like cheats?

guess so... people who adore cheats are often throwing the "snowflake" term left and right... i wonder why hmm

 

[AlfaLum]

Most surprising for today is that the weather has been completely opposite of what the teams expected. Strange TT because of it.

 

[klintE]

what happened to Roglic?

It didn't work out for him as a ski jumper.

 

[Stringer Bell]

Any chance Jumbo will protest against Lampaert's sock length and have him DSQ'd?

No

 

[JosefK]

Sepp Kuss to take surprise win with drying course and tailwind.

 

[Finn84]

Froome started.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Dawg followed by Brad once again!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Who could still surprise? Lutsenko, Castroviejo, Politt, Pidcock...?

Actually, Van Hooydonck is also good at short TT's, at least he was a few years back.

 

[Red Rick]

Do we want Moscon to beat Lampaert or not?

"We" meaning "me myself and I" do definitely want that

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Didn't really care for him for a while there but it is nice to see Froome on the bike again.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Who could still surprise? Lutsenko, Castroviejo, Politt, Pidcock...?

Actually, Van Hooydonck is also good at short TT's, at least he was a few years back.

Bettiol probably the most likely to create an upset.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Dawg followed by Brad once again!

So far Brad has demanded that the audience wish Geraint Thomas good luck, and ruminated on how much 'we' would love to see Froome win a 5th Tour. Come on man, show just the tiniest bit of objectivity as a pundit!!!

 

[Red Rick]

I don't think Sepp Kuss' time trial skills are that strong?!

One day I wish I could be as committed to a job or a person as Libertine to the anti Kuss propaganda

 

[GroupDK]

Huge applause from the danish spectators to Chris Froome..

 

[spalco]

I don't think Froome will win this, but if he's not overtaken before the timing point I'll count it as a success.

Luts is targeting top 3 gc this year so i expect him to be well prepared
