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

[Eclipse]

I'm not sure if that statement was sarcastic or not... but Thomas should have tried to go as well.. JV would have let him ride just to get pog chasing.

Thomas just knows himself. He's got 0 chance from this far but if the others tire themselves out enough he does pack a sustained 2k effort that can be very strong

 

[JosefK]

Pog is going to crush everyone, today.

 

[Gigs_98]

Now this is where TJV has to put their team to use

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Kus is saving himself for the mountains.

 

[Extinction]

Someone will pay for these effort on Col du Granon

 

[roundabout]

back to 5 + 1 Jumbos vs Pogacar and Soler and McNulty dangling at about 20 seconds it looks like

 

[frisenfruitig]

Exactly. JV wasting energy attacking, Pogacar wasting energy closing gaps, Thomas conserving energy sitting in the wheel.

Wow, what a genius!

 

[Scarponi]

Where’s Majka?

 

[Rollthedice]

I don't get it, he's just following as far as I can tell?

Yes but he's following with his brain.

 

[Extinction]

It's like Contador v Rasmussen x4 (3 really G is being very smart).

G will drop on Col du Granon

 

[Netserk]

Kus is saving himself for the mountains.

Galibier is not steep enough.

 

[Rollthedice]

Where’s Majka?

Spreading some low viral load.

 

[ontheroad]

Still loads of doms left for JV. If they don't crack Pog today then it won't be for the want of trying.

 

[Netserk]

Where’s Majka?

Sick. I assume his viral load increases every day.

 

[StryderHells]

Someone will pay for these effort on Col du Glandon

I doubt anybody will pay for this effort on the Glandon considering they are heading for the Granon today

 

[Lequack]

Time for Yates and Thomas to start doing the 1-2 on Pogacar! What are they waiting for.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

The biggest brain is Hindley who went to the Giro instead.

 

[Bonimenier]

Time for Yates and Thomas to start doing the 1-2 on Pogacar! What are they waiting for.

Don't worry. Thomas will destroy everyone on the Granon.

 

[Tim Cahill]

And there he is, Sepp Kuss lurking in the bunch, looking around not really knowing what's going on or why he deviated from his club ride and ended up on the Galibier with the pro peloton

 

[Netserk]

Calm down, Wout.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Where has this Barguil come from? He was nowhere near in the breakaway battle on Sunday.

 

[SarahtheDane]

I seem to miss it every time there is action. Should I go do something sensible again so you guys can watch some action?

 

[Scarponi]

Barguil has fallen so hard the Australian commentators were like “barguil doesn’t have to worry about Van Aert

 

[Samamba]

Old Barguil is alive wow

 

[roundabout]

Ok, Van Aert seems to start to struggle

 

[yaco]

Yeah everyone laughing at him in the Dauphiné but now you see that it was worth it. He's not struggling at all and that might come in handy on stage 19 and 21.

Stage 13 will most likely be a sprint.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Someone will explode on Col du Granier if they keep this up.

Van Aert dropping back a little.
