Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 10 (Morzine Les Portes du Soleil – Megève, 148.1k)

[Stelvio]

Can we stop the calls for violence?

 

[Laplaz]

Attack by Leonard Hofstadter

 

[TourOfSardinia]

I understand the protests, and I generally support them and agree with direct action even as long as it stays non-violent, but at a bicycle race, really? I would guess there are few sports whose fans are generally more open to protecting the environment than cycling.

Have you seen the length of the caravan convey at GCs?

Still gets press coverage and especially at the Tour.

No violence was acted.
The young people were gentled helped off the route.
After all.. France takes good care confused people, that have wandered on the road, glued their hands to the road and then stand passive.

It's unrelated to the damage they do (and to whom), it's all about the publicity.

 

[noob]

Some master plan incoming from Jumbo. Wout is talking to the team car for more than 5 minutes straight. Get ready.

Yup all day. He's up to something.

 

[meat puppet]

Proto-RAFs.

C'mon now, Gudrun, Andreas et al were both crazier and more committed.

Yup. But they probably just thought about potential media exposure.

really nice to gift bettiol some more time

 

[mark.renshawty]

They're protesting to get Riccardo Ricco unbanned.

 

[KOM]

So was this a net positive or negative for Bettiol? Probably positive since it might disrupt the chase even more?

 

[DrSahl]

really nice to gift bettiol some more time

Maybe my secound prediction will be gold today.

Bettiol, just ahead of Izagirre

Or the unthinkable, with Cort winning, but then the group have to split before the last mountain.

 

[bob.a.feet]

Can we have a similar demonstration next time the Tour includes PdBF on the route?

 

[noob]

Look at how happy the riders were to get that pee and drink break in the midst of the heatwave!

 

[Laplaz]

So was this a net positive or negative for Bettiol? Probably positive since it might disrupt the chase even more?

Definitely positive

 

[Sciatic]

At least it was a lovely scenic valley to hang out for awhile.

 

[Netserk]

They should have stopped them at the same spot (peloton too) and then sent them off with their time gaps.

 

[Bonimenier]

Glueing your hands to gravel might be less effective

 

[F_Cance]

So was this a net positive or negative for Bettiol? Probably positive since it might disrupt the chase even more?

they literally gifted him 20 seconds looking at the gap before and right after the restart

 

[TourOfSardinia]

One lonnnnnnnnnnng sticky bottle

 

[Samu Cuenca]

They're protesting to get Riccardo Ricco unbanned.

They should have done it on Col d'Aspin on stage 17 instead.

 

[KOM]

Ah yes protesting because the tdf "destroys our society"

 

[BR2]

We all love to watch the nice scenery, but soon there will be no nice scenery to look at left in Europe in the summer, so thankfully at least some people do something.

 

[Laplaz]

Kämna virtually in yellow

Ah, the 'good' kind of fake news, so it's justified. Not exactly a description that matches the IPCC reports.
