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

[Devil's Elbow]

UAE really should try to get someone involved when Jumbo are sending multiple riders up the road.

 

[Netserk]

Is that Kämna? No. It is Konrad.

 

[Netserk]

Strong chase group.

 

[KZD]

Great to see Van der Poel in front today.
Jumbo trying an aggresive strategy today with Van Aert and Benoot, Ineos and UAE more defensive

 

[Lequack]

Is it me or has Mohoric been pretty absent so far in breakaways?

 

[Netserk]

I have seen 1 Ineos rider trying to join the moves earlier, but other than that, they haven't been very active.

 

[Netserk]

Cofidis leading the peloton.

 

[Netserk]

Total forcing a split.

 

[Ricco']

Is it me or has Mohoric been pretty absent so far in breakaways?

Yeah, his long distance raids on the breakaways are being missed. I think he only was proeminent near the front in the Longwy stage, right?

 

[Netserk]

I think it was Ineos who closed that group down.

 

[ontheroad]

Good to see JV trying to attack the race by sending riders up the road. Possibly to launch an attack for Roglic later on. Well we can hope anyway.

 

[houtdffan]

Pidcock needs to be given the old heave ho

Blatant cheating by hanging onto the car for more than a minute

 

[Earns1985]

Think the break will form at the Lacets de Montvernier.. or even later...

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Is it me or has Mohoric been pretty absent so far in breakaways?

He tried on the downhill start yesterday but it was far too early and he doesn't seem on the best of form

 

[Netserk]

Montvernier starts with 105 km to go.

 

[Netserk]

 

[Netserk]

Hirschi near the back of the peloton.

 

[roundabout]

Tailwind so maybe favorable wind after Galibier as well

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Tailwind so maybe favorable wind after Galibier as well

For the descent, yes, but wind from the north/northwest means headwind for most of Granon, until the hairpin at 2.6k to go.

 

[Netserk]

Tailwind so maybe favorable wind after Galibier as well

Yes.

 

[Netserk]

Huge chase group. When did they get a gap?

 

[Volderke]

Jumbo!

 

[Netserk]

No Ineos riders in the group.

 

[Bonimenier]

Big plan of JV in the making it seems

 

[MrTea1976]

Jumbo putting the whole team up the road!
