Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 12 (Briançon – Alpe d’Huez, 165.1k)

I wouldn't be shocked if Froome just paces himself better and gets back to them. Or maybe I just have Froome ptsd

Shame for Cicco.

Pidcock has incredible climbing legs this Tour. What a difference compared to his last GT.

 

[Miha81]

Boring JV, so dominant

GTs ruined

What do you expect when by far strongest team got their man in yellow? They will just defend it until ITT and there is very little other GC guys and their teams can do.

If the gap was under the minute there would be different story because Pogacar would still present a real threat in ITT.

Get used to yellow train. At least is not as bright as it used to be

 

[RobertCrawley]

The break is not coming down much.

 

[ontheroad]

The old Froome would just tempo his way back up to Pidcock. He's riding surprisingly very well.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Breakaway more interesting than the peloton.

 

[KOM]

I mean, we spent 19 stages thinking that in 2020.

Youd think theyd learn from that... trying 19 stages not to lose the tour cost them pretty epicly... atleast they spend 1 stage trying to win it this year allready. so technically it could be worse

 

[Salvarani]

Not just today

Ok. What you mean by that?

He is a good rider that won a stage in the Giro this year, so he obviously has good days too.

 

[ppanther92]

Quintana will remain the post-2006 leader on Alpe d Huez

 

[BigCoward]

Anybody not cheering (even just a little bit) for CF has no soul.

 

[noob]

Wout looks so stubborn

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Froome bringing them back!

No. GTs are ruined. Vingegaard is gonna dominate and win every GT for years now.

 

[spalco]

Froome is still hanging on, that's remarkable. I had really given up hope for him already.

 

[Salvarani]

Froome is really gonna do it

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Wout gone, thank god

 

[Sciatic]

Wout looks so stubborn

He’s slowing the group down though

 

[noob]

Omg Wout

 

[Tim Cahill]

You don't just drop the 11th place finisher in Mercan'Tour Classic Alpes-Maritimes like that and get away with it Pidcock you little sh*t

 

[Martinstranger]

I really didn't like Froome when he was dominatiing the Tour - but today I hope he can take the stage and show why he's in the tour.

Where is Pogacar with his attack and if he is down, why don't Vingegaard try to take more time. Is the mountain too easy.

 

[Stelvio]

No. GTs are ruined. Vingegaard is gonna dominate and win every GT for years now.

Three days ago Pogacar was due to win every GT until 2035. How quickly things change.

 

[skippo12]

The return of yo-yo Froome?

 

[postmanhat]

Van Aert v Pidcock. on Alpe D'Huez

Exactly...

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Come on Dawg! Still have a hard time seeing him beat Pidcock though. He needs to catch and drop him. If it comes down to a final sprint, Froome will lose to anyone he's against I'm afraid.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Much respect for Wout.
