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

[roundabout]

Fascinating stalemate ahead atm

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I think TJV is secretly riding for Kuss. He's not done anything all week. They're keeping him fresh to pound in the 3rd week and take yellow.

 

[Scarponi]

Pantani could have caught this break hehe

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Tibocam

Wout lifeless. He really always gives it all, whether he's riding for his team or on a hopeless 50km solo.

Bob Rolle joins the debate: "You could not invent a better teammate than Wout Van Aert."

 

[Moondance]

Surprised Crushweak is ahead of Kuss and Roglic in the TJV order even though he was pretty clearly the 2nd best in the JV-train yesterday

 

[dazaau]

You took it that way, it was a statement
champ

Sure, "champ"

 

[Didinho]

C'mon Pidcock, looks really good

 

[roundabout]

Pidcock looks good right now

 

[Miha81]

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

I doubt this will be the case. He is good enough but one tour with one exceptional stage does not mean he will suddenly become serial winner.

Please see LS’s many posts explaining this strategy

Now that froome turns out to be quite strong today one really has to wonder what his breakaways companions were thinking by basically giving him a free ride.

 

[red_flanders]

Pidcock oozes style and class on the bike. Would love to see him hang on.

 

[Scarponi]

Sure, "champ"

Why so negative on Froome? he is doing amazing

All hail GT destroyer Vingegaard.

I'd say we have a good Pogi Vinge rivalry on our hands, but every year can bring a new contender of course...

 

[Red Rick]

Pidcock saving cycling today

 

[75Driver]

Much respect for Wout.

No doubt. What a killer pace by him.

 

[Lequack]

No way Pog goes to attack in this suicidal heat.

 

[BigCoward]

Mountain TT top 5 Jumbo v the field, who wins?

 

[KZD]

Pidcock is the one that did the most for the breakaway to have this advantage so he deserves to win the stage, the only drawback is that Wiggins and co will not shut up about it

 

[postmanhat]

Pidcock looks good right now

I hope he can hang on But he does have a habit of looking very good, then suddenly not

 

[Didinho]

He's gonna wheelie the last km

 

[spalco]

It's still a long way to the top...

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Pidcock starting to pull away. But he's looking a bit hot, and Froome loves the heat...
