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

[Zinoviev Letter]

Okay, I've lurked here for years, but you finally made me make an account just to call you out. Really? Get back under your rock.

agreed, just crass misogyny

@Red Rick here i was about to reply to your meme saying the one finally overcame the six but it turned like any other showing of that.

Now the real question is: how will Jumbo manage to Rabofail this?

 

[Cagalitroso]

he is human after all (gets covid)... this is good for everybody, even for Pog..less showboating, demand better domestiques, stop trying to close every attack and so on

GC rider pulls a Jalabert and sneaks into the break on the way to Mende

 

[Netserk]

Wasn't Froome gone after the first attack?

I think so. But he was nearly 3 minutes behind Dumoulin in GC, so it was far from done and dusted on Finestre.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Hot take:
High mountains Pogi is kinda overrated, so far I've never seen him drop the best on that lind of climb.

Hot weather more than high mountains I think.

And as many others have mentioned, covid is obviously a possibility.

 

[Bonimenier]

Any news about if and which riders are in trouble to make the time limit?

 

[DenisMenchov]

Situation still looks perfect for Thomas to take his 2nd TdF.

If he doesn't lose time to Vingegaard tomorrow that can very well happen. I hope he can win tbh, that would be epic.

 

[Rollthedice]

One good takeaway from this stage is that Nibali has a chance to win Lombardia. Pog is on a downward spiral, Vinge will not ride it and the other ones don't matter.

 

[noob]

Jonas interview just now was quite amazing as he always has his emotions shown straight through his eyes. Nothing hidden.

 

[Taxus4a]

So Bardet looking very good

Indicates to me Hindley could keep company with Pog and Vinge

Not doubt about It,

Perfect tactic from Pogacar. JV has only one upper hand on him - their sheer quantitative strength. Now it will be him vs. Vingegaard.

Lot of time analyzing cycling by myself...It was clear and It was what had happened...you cant set the pace with Vingegard at your wherel if you know Vingegard is better in long climbs than you. He just had to follow Vingegard, becouse Roglic didnt count after his crash. And if he takes 3 minutes, you hace Majka to work

The race is not finished, Pogacar has an extratospheric recovery and is very good in medium mountain stages...the only problema is now is his team is clearly weaker than Jumbo.

 

[Valv.Piti]

I have a very hard time seeing Pog being positive. Its more a matter of altitude, warm weather, 1-2 Visma tactics and probably not eating enough.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Now that yellow seems like a lock, Jonas can start leading out Wout for the sprints.

 

[bob.a.feet]

I think a key reason to isolate Pogacar is to make it a different effort. If the attacks don't start until the final 7km, Pogacar will likely crush most riders. But what if a team can isolate him early, and make it a 60km effort?

Then it's more of an unknown. Following attacks and counter attacks for over an hour is a completely different type of racing, and tactics play a much greater part. It's more like breakaway racing and as we saw yesterday, breakaways are not always won by simply being the strongest rider and riding away from everyone.

Not to shag my own arse, but I was well on the money here.

 

[SarahtheDane]

Vingegaard 2 seconds behind Pogacar after today.

I mixed up the 2's and the order. Pogacar 2:22 after Vingegaard.

 

[Big Doopie]

I doubt they will ever again return to Granon. Most boring stage ever.

 

[KZD]

Vingegård to unleash hell on Granon

I predicted Vingegård's historic performance but not Pogačar's meltdown

Once in four decades seems to be the perfect measure for Col du Granon. Featuring exactly as it should.
No overuse, no publicity gimmick, no trademark. Just perfect.
Gamechanger.

WVA

But Wout lost 4 seconds to Vigo and the team!!

[hfer07]
