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

[ontheroad]

1:10 from Pog to Rog. That gap isn't getting bridged to the YJ group even with the green jersey pulling.

 

[Netserk]

Thomas chasing down Yates?

Bardet.

 

[frisenfruitig]

I struggle to understand how WvA towing back Roglic is a preferential compared to trying to launch Vingegard downhill.

Because there's no way Vingegaard is going to drop Pogacar downhill even with WVA launching him.

 

[SafeBet]

This is such an anticlimax. Everybody will come back.

 

[staubsauger]

All that fairytales about Jumbo when the big tactical error now is to actually send WvA back to Roglic instead of fully supporting Vingegaard who even slightly gapped Pogacar on Telegraphe.

 

[inri2000]

I still cannot believe why Vingegaard didnt try. That was literally the only point with Wout?

He tried too early maybe, you can't keep going in the red when another climb is waiting

 

[Valv.Piti]

Gaudu has two helpers. Just pace for Vingo and try for a stage, I dno man.

Yes it is. 10 km is enough for Van Aert.

If vingegaard wasn't such a wheel sucker the race would be way more interesting

 

[roundabout]

I think (hope) that 4 minutes should be enough on the Granon for Barguil unless the valley took too much out of him

 

[Danskebjerge]

There is really not much he can do vs Pogacar at this point so why not help the other GC guy even if its a longshot

It's not all about Pogacar for Jumbo. There is Mas, Vlasov and several others who could potentially threaten Vingegaard's second place. The chance of that is bigger than the chance of Roglic becoming a danger for Pogacar.

 

[Volderke]

Learn physics.

Physics dictates both Rog and WvA will get dropped on the Granon.

 

[Cagalitroso]

Wout paid by Tour organizers to keep things still interesting

 

[roundabout]

He tried too early maybe, you can't keep going in the red when another climb is waiting

It was strange to see attacks happen on the easy part of the Galibier

 

[noob]

It will turn out Roglic faked all along to stomp (in my parallel universe)

 

[Newcomer]

If vingegaard wasn't such a wheel sucker the race would be way more interesting

Why in world should he pull Pogi for even a second?

 

[Volderke]

Because there's no way Vingegaard is going to drop Pogacar downhill even with WVA launching him.

Well, if you see them riding on this stretch, it's perfect for attacks.

Disagree here. The aim should be about winning at this point

 

[MartinGT]

Was Lutsenko in the break?

 

[noob]

Too bad they are bringing Majka back though.

 

[SafeBet]

Was Lutsenko in the break?

Nope.

CAn't call that gapped imo. he attacked and the distance between pog and vingegaard the moment pog reacted stayed the same untill he closed it.

 

[Miha81]

If vingegaard wasn't such a wheel sucker the race would be way more interesting

It would kinda be anticlimax if the wheelsucker with strongest team eventually wins TDF. At least in my books.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Has there ever been a Lautaret descent where everything didn't come back together?

 

[RobertCrawley]

If vingegaard wasn't such a wheel sucker the race would be way more interesting

It's good tactics to make Toddy work.

Here's a thought. To make Toddy keep working in the front, Wout drops back and threatens to being Jumbo back.

 

[Red Rick]

Surely Barguil should win the stage? He did a monster Galibier he's not gonna just lose 5 minutes on the Granon just now
