Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 15 (Rodez – Carcassonne, 202.5k)

[Salvarani]

Pog congratulating Philipsen after the finish!

 

[postmanhat]

All that work by BEX and Groenewegen disappears as soon as his leadout drops off

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Philipsen owes Bora some drinks. He should probably get one for Pedersen too, for that sprint angle pushing Van Aert wide. Still nice to see him get his stage.

 

[Savant12]

Pedersen big line deviation.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Happy for Philipsen... and after all the work his team put in for him (last year too) he could repay them with a good win

Pog congratulating Philipsen after the finish!

They're really good friends, went on holiday together

 

[RedheadDane]

Pogacar is a nice guy. Throwing a bunch of water on Philipsen.

 

[ashhutch1997]

Well, I think WVA's pointless break this morning just cost him the stage......I swear I'll leave Jumbo alone lol

 

[RobertCrawley]

That was a pretty dirty line by Pedersen. If he sprinted straight, maybe he'd have won it but he seemed more interested in riding into WVA

Yes, he moved WVA off WVA's line, and maybe cost them both.

Very poor decision making by Groenewegen there yet again.. but he didn’t have the speed either. Probably too cooked.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

That was a pretty dirty line by Pedersen. If he sprinted straight, maybe he'd have won it but he seemed more interested in riding into WVA

Oh well, probably not as bad as the line that Van Aert took to block Sagan in stage 3.

 

[StryderHells]

Pogacar is a nice guy. Throwing a bunch of water of Philipsen.

Not just regular water, sparkling water!

 

[ciranda]

Should've left one of the two properly.

Robert Gesink crashed out last year with the #13 but I don't remember if he had one number upside down.

 

[Peyroteo94]

That hug was suspicious. BE, Alpecin and Bettiol working for Pogi in the next stages. I can't wait!!!

 

[StryderHells]

All that work by BEX and Groenewegen disappears as soon as his leadout drops off

I think he was cooked and couldn’t really sprint in the end.

To be fair he was only looking at Philipsen and seems to be giving him space after almost blocking him first.

 

[JosefK]

Curious about the final rest-day poll. After today, I expect Pogi to get over 50% of the votes.

 

[RobertCrawley]

The Pinot Noire hug of the day goes to Steven Kruijswijk.

 

[ashhutch1997]

Bora should be getting a good Christmas present off Phillipson lol

 

[Bonimenier]

Curious about the final rest-day poll. After today, I expect Pogi to get over 50% of the votes.

With Thomas getting 70% of the votes already that seems unlikely

Very poor decision making by Groenewegen there yet again.. but he didn’t have the speed either. Probably too cooked.

"Cooked" is very apt in today's weather.

Yes. Just said he 'was totally f*cked' in his live TV interview. Some good post-race swearing in this Tour.

 

[Netserk]

Jakobsen and Ewan were the only sprinters absent.

 

[Finn84]

45'27" would be time limit based on original rules, but they relaxed, I guess it is 54'32" now.
