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

[Netserk]

Pidcock is active again.

 

[Davesta]

Pidcock on the move too

 

[noob]

I can't for the life of me understand who is chasing down a break and who wants to be in it today. This is really confusing.

 

[RedheadDane]

Van Baarle is the only one in that group that didn't win a Tour stage in 2011.

He's also the only one who isn't old.

 

[inri2000]

Old men Gilbert and Lulu in the break; surely nobody is allowed to chase now.

Pierre Rolland is no spring chicken either

 

[Netserk]

Arkea leads the bunch.

 

[Netserk]

Laporte, Ganna, and Van Baarle in the front group. More riders bridge across.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Breakaway is running out of time to form.

 

[Netserk]

Kämna in the front group.

 

[glassmoon]

Cort there again?

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Ewan with two teammates already 10 minutes behind the peleton.

Breakaway is running out of time to form.

I need to learn when to shut up.

 

[Netserk]

And we have the break of the day.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

If Pog was anyone else you'd think he's almost in an impossible position now. No huge time gaps and only two useful teammates, one of whom has covid. He'll probably counter with a long solo in the next couple of stages instead.

 

[glassmoon]

Kamna's try no: 2

 

[Netserk]

Interesting that it was Jumbo who declared hostilities over and slowed down at the front of the bunch.

 

[Breezy1985]

At what point does the break become the peleton

 

[Elos Anjos]

I don't understand all this talk about Pogacar's team. The important thing is that he doesn't have the bug. He never needed a tow or a team to win.

 

[Netserk]

UAE can be quite happy with this break. Kämna is 8'43'' down in GC.

 

[Netserk]

Lol, Danish commentators are talking about KOM for Cort today. He will not keep it after tomorrow in any case, so his focus should be on the stage victory alone.

At some point it is bound to become a problem, UAE are already 2 riders down and the Tour is still long. While Pogacar is super strong, that's not a magic skill, if he gets a mechanical at the wrong moment or crashes e.g. he'd be pretty *** if he is isolated or with not so strong team mates.

Are they watching the wrong stage?

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

UAE can be quite happy with this break. Kämna is 8'43'' down in GC.

I'd actually give Kämna the jersey if I'm UAE. Puts a strong Bora team on Pogis side for the next (two) day(s) that will chase down any dangerous moves from other contenders.
But from everything we've heard in the last couple of days they won't do that, so it's probably a mute point.

 

[Earns1985]

Pogacar not riding behind his teammates to reduce the possibility to catch covid?

3 riders down really considering how bad Hirschi has been.
