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

By not sticking the swab thingy far enough insides the riders noses.

How is that being ravaged?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He might have had a chance for the red number in Paris, though.

Perhaps, but only French riders and/or those who aren't good enough to win stages and/or jerseys should really target that one.

Now, Meintjes should be the favourite for it.

 

[madthebad]

Ok, I'll take Pollit or Hirschi for the win today.

 

[Netserk]

Taco on the menu.

 

[Netserk]

Haller has tried for Bora, Wellens now for Lotto. Who wants a sprint?

 

[Netserk]

Van Aert closing a gap to a strong group, now following Politt. Honore has made it a trio in front.

 

[Samamba]

BEX, Trek and Alpecin seem to want the sprint. They're closing the gaps to bigger groups.

It isn't a break without at least one dane.

Perfect with Van Aert ahead. Easier to beat him that way than in a bunch sprint.

 

[Andy262]

You wouldn't have thought Pollitt and Honoré would be that delighted to find Wout going up the road with them.

 

[SarahtheDane]

I give up with Jumbo's tactics, it's not like Jonas was completely isolated yesterday at the when it really mattered.....

I really don't get it either. Wout already has two stage wins, and can go for it again two days next weekend.

 

[SarahtheDane]

You wouldn't have thought Pollitt and Honoré would be that delighted to find Wout going up the road with them.

Counting on him having to drop back later to help Jonas close a gap to an attacking Pogacar..

 

[Devil's Elbow]

You wouldn't have thought Pollitt and Honoré would be that delighted to find Wout going up the road with them.

I think the problem for them is less Van Aert and more the absence of other people in this break. This has no chance of succeeding without other people joining in.

 

[Samamba]

So bunch sprint it is. Groenewegen or Philipsen then. Ewan won't survive, don't think Jakobsen will either.

Van Aert just with another suicide move this

 

[ashhutch1997]

I honestly despair looking at Jumbo's tactics with Wout attacking for no reason and expanding energy for very little gain. It's not like Jonas was completely isolated yesterday when it really mattered.....

 

[Bavarianrider]

I really dont get why they put the mountain stages during the week and wack ass stages ob the weekends. Hotrinle planning.

It didn't really matter at that point. It's mano a mano on such a climb.

But yeah, I don't really get today's tactics either.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

So, that's it. Van Aert should immediately drop back if he wants anything out of today.

At least you get a long TT next Saturday.

Or you probably don't think it's more than medium length.

 

[Samamba]

No idea what Van Aert is doing

 

[sir fly]

Lloyd's like GCN's David Niven.

No idea what Van Aert is doing

Having fun.

 

[JosefK]

Jumbo: "Bah, yellow jersey is just an afterthought. A secondary/tertiary goal. Got to be realistic. It's not like we have a guy who can actually win the thing. "

 

[Lequack]

No idea what Van Aert is doing

Protecting his team leader of course.

 

[Danskebjerge]

I wonder what they'll do in the Grand Tours next year. Withdrawing riders who are ready for racing can't be the future of pro cycling, can it?
