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

They are always so concerned about a bigger cause that forget human lives are at stake

Cause might be good and all but the way they've been going about just pisses people off. Assuming it's the climate crowd again, they've been doing this for a good bit now and even ran on to Silverstone at the F1. Kruijswijk won't be the first or last hurt by their idiocy.

Philipsen looks comfortable.

 

[RedheadDane]

Got to love seeing the 'king of the mountains getting spat on a small 3rd category climb

He's the Steward of the Mountains. Like the Stewards of Gondor.

 

[noob]

genuinely going to be interesting to see how capable Kuss is of doing robosepp every day now that he very much can’t go awol on a bad day and have another top climber pick up the slack

He had covid rather recently so I think he's not in his Sepp shape honestly ;/

Alpe d'Huez says otherwise.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Q a non-sprinter is drilling it at the front for Trek.

 

[titan31]

He's the Steward of the Mountains. Like the Stewards of Gondor.

Hopefully he doesn't go all Denethor and light himself on fire then.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

I meant, his job is to pull on the flat, and that's what he's been doing.

Like I said, that's being charitable. If Bjerg has performed to the level that UAE expect that would explain a lot about their inability to support Pogacar a lot of the time.

 

[Netserk]

A good profile today for a sprint stage.

 

[Salvarani]

Over a minute to Groenewegen.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Simmons has done some serious damage this Tour

 

[SarahtheDane]

I hope Wout will drop the sprint today. With Jumbo's luck he'll be implicated in a giant crash

 

[postmanhat]

Rob Hatch just did that annoying Oi yoi yoi noise again ffs

I do that as well as well to be fair, and like Hatch, am very definitely not Jewish or from New York.

 

[Andy262]

Has Sagan survived?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Over a minute to Groenewegen.

if alpecin let him come back they should sold for glue

 

[Samamba]

That's not a minute to Groenewegen, he can come back. Trek and Alpecin don't have the guys to keep the tempo high.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Over a minute to Groenewegen.

But only one or two people left to pull in the peloton. Think Groenewegen makes it back but Ewan and Jakobsen don't.

 

[tobydawq]

So he was in a bit of panic?

Doesn't the word panic indicate that he did something stupid?

I would call it a calculated panic if anything.

 

[Salvarani]

Simmons has done some serious damage this Tour

Classy rider.

 

[titan31]

Like I said, that's being charitable. If Bjerg has performed to the level that UAE expect that would explain a lot about their inability to support Pogacar a lot of the time.

Aye, Bjerg to me was meant to be their Laporte. Good on the flat and strong enough to go uphill too. He's not really been good at all

 

[Devil's Elbow]

if alpecin let him come back they should sold for glue

Does Philipsen even have teammates left in the peloton?

 

[Netserk]

Simmons has done some serious damage this Tour

He has been an excellent teammate.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Does Philipsen even have teammates left in the peloton?

I thought I saw at least three alpecin jerseys. I could be wrong though

 

[Bonimenier]

Trek going hard on the climb might have been the nail in the coffin for Morkov.

 

[Potomac]

That water looks inviting
