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

[dazaau]

Froome rocking and rolling now

 

[Didinho]

Kuss with his non breathing day

 

[noob]

Bardet dropping

 

[Tim Cahill]

Bardet cracking, Yates needs to hit the front soon surely

 

[Lequack]

Still, this was an amazing ride from Froome. Best ride of the last 3 or some years.

 

[spalco]

Quintana is so inconsistent these days.

Eh, he's just not a GT GC rider anymore. Whatever magic makes someone capable of recovering day to day in GTs, it can be lost with age, and he's had a long career for his age already.

 

[75Driver]

Kuss the last JV…5K to go.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Alpe d'Huez is simply not a Froome climb.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Still a long way to go but Pidcock looks really good surfing through the crowds, he might just make it.

 

[BigCoward]

Oh well, still a good show by Froome today.

Building his form for the Vuelta. He's gonna go bonkers.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

oh no Dawg in free fall

 

[Sciatic]

Thomas could secure a podium if he goes hard here.

 

[Laplaz]

Not so great Bastille day for the french i would say

Thats true, isn't he only a couple years younger than Rebellin?

 

[Moondance]

TJV looks to be prepping the Vingegaard attack when the % ramps up again

 

[roundabout]

Still a long way to go but Pidcock looks really good surfing through the crowds, he might just make it.

He should win from here

 

[Tim Cahill]

It eases up in the last 2k, Froome should hold on for a podium but Ineos should contribute to the pace if they can.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

So Kuss isn't useless after all huh?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Not so great Bastille day for the french i would say

Horror show for them, still no French stage win either.

 

[75Driver]

Jumbo just destroyed that group in less than a kilometer

 

[Scarponi]

Eh, he's just not a GT GC rider anymore. Whatever magic makes someone capable of recovering day to day in GTs, it can be lost with age, and he's had a long career for his age already.

Seems all the 22-25 year olds who really do well in GC crack hard at 30 compared to later bloomers

 

[roundabout]

So Kuss isn't useless after all huh?

He can go back to being useless in the next stages feeling very proud

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Adam Yates about to pop

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pidcock has lost less than 2.5 minutes on the climb so far. Good standard up front after all.

 

[noob]

Now Pidcock is suffering a lot too
