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

[Scarponi]

Well done Froomey

 

[Finn84]

Froome 3rd. Four years ago he was 4th.

 

[red_flanders]

I don't think it's impossible. He seems more likely than any of the other British winners before him.

100%. A genuine talent.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Valiant ride by Froome!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pogacar sprinting. He's learnt nothing.

 

[spalco]

Good on Froome! That podium will mean a lot to him I think.

 

[ngent41]

I think this is the first time Kuss has been at the front on a gradient under 9%

 

[roundabout]

39'06'' Alpe

Fast, but boring

 

[noob]

Now I feel heartbroken for Pog :O

The way this sport shifts is insane.

 

[red_flanders]

Vingo just too strong right now.

 

[postmanhat]

Ciccone losing KOM points on the line

 

[Gigs_98]

Bardet didn't actually lose all that much today.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Dane Law

 

[Krzysztof_O]

39'06'' Alpe

Fast, but boring

Yeah, 39'07'' was my time. Fast but could have been faster if Pog and Vinge cooperated. Pog stronger today (probably strongest of all) but not strong enough to drop Vinge.

 

[75Driver]

Did Bardet save his place?

 

[ppanther92]

Bardet revovered well, Nairoman unfortunately not

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Jonas casually keeping up with Pogacar sprints...let me off this planet...

 

[RobertCrawley]

Bardet!!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

39'06'' Alpe

Fast, but boring

Just like every other time when Kuss has one of those days. Hopefully there isn't a second one to come.

 

[KZD]

Time for Pidcock the next British Tour de France winner thread

I've been thinking about it since he won the u23 Giro back in 2020. Its more likely that he wins one than Paris Roubaix.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Mas will rue yesterday's suffering, good legs today, continuing his Carlos Sastre tradition. Actually kind of disappointed at Pidcock and Pogačar ruining the day's epic trolling of me. We needed to have Meintjes win ahead of Froome, then no attacks while everybody watches Kuss sit second wheel doing nothing all the way up to the summit even when he's the only other Jumbo rider left, then Thomas sprinting away from the heads of state at the top.

Sagan might at least still pull a wheelie when the autobus gets there though. He did on PDBF.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Vingegaard going to the front and slowing it down for robosepp to expressionlessly metronome his way back repeatedly was quite funny

 

[zorroz69]

Anticlimatic...

 

[Jungle Cycle]

sub 39min for the GC group? ?
