Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 11 (Albertville – Col du Granon Serre Chevalier, 151.7k)

[Didinho]

Van Aert should be within a minute now, what is he doing

 

[roundabout]

Although probably everything will come back together is there is not incentive to ride hard at his point

Edit: why is Kruijswijk riding

 

[inri2000]

Interesting to see what Van Aert does when he gets to the top

 

[DrSahl]

Vingegaard should wait for the last km of Galibier to attack.

I disagree
That would most likely mean Pogimon counter and then take him on the top

 

[Scarponi]

Quintana riding best he has in years

 

[gerundium]

van aert is standing still now by the timing looks like.

 

[ppanther92]

Bardet really is having a “comeback” year.

 

[ontheroad]

Pog playing it very clever, he will get a free tow from WVA/Kruiswijk.

 

[Eclipse]

Bardet can get back on the descent

Allez Romain!

 

[RobertCrawley]

One possible plan: Vigo jumps at the top of the Galibier and uses Wout to drill the descent.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Quintana riding best he has in years

Was at this level in the 2020 Tour (or maybe slightly better) too prior to his crash.

Doesn't matter with Van Aert as insurance.

 

[meat puppet]

The more boring sight would be to have 4-5 Jumbots as the strongest riders. That would be Ineos on steroids.

Btw, they are caught by Bardet, Thomas and Kruijswijk? Intentionally?

Agreed, sorta. But surely the expectation is that no one rider is that much superior to the others at the pointy end of outliers of the outliers.

 

[frisenfruitig]

The best thing Jumbo can do now, is have WvA wait on the very top of the Galibier, and try to get rid of Pogacar in the descent.
If that doesn't work, I fear nothing will work.

Dropping Pogacar in the descent? How are they going to do that?

of course, a small gap for Vingegaard with Van Aert ahead and it gets difficult for Pogacar

 

[Volderke]

Van Aert should be within a minute now, what is he doing

WvA is 5 minutes in front of Vingegaard. Not really helpful if he is supposed to support Vingegaard in the descent.

Ice cream

 

[Didinho]

Wout bike change. His TT bike maybe for the descent

 

[RobertCrawley]

Pog playing it very clever, he will get a free tow from WVA/Kruiswijk.

Toddy is pulling. Not the smartest position?

 

[Eclipse]

Nice climbing by Wawa

 

[gerundium]

Ok WVA gets a bike change with deeper rims and 2 fresh bottles. a planned change?

 

[Eclipse]

Nope Thomas cracking now

 

[Netserk]

Rogla is completely dead. Which is why it was good that he attacked today while he was still a threat.

 

[Salvarani]

Thomas dropped, but could probably come back on the descent

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Romain you *** legend, show these scrubs how to drink and ride responsible
