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

Does Philipsen even have teammates left in the peloton?

No, he is trying to get some bottles for himself now.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Bling is detached.

Does Philipsen even have teammates left in the peloton?

One guy I think (Sbaragli?). I mean not that surprising, Alpecin has a bad team here imo.

 

[Salvarani]

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

I would call it a calculated panic if anything.

Omg... then you call it what you wanna call it buddy, since this seems pretty pointless to argue about.

 

[RobertCrawley]

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

37 minutes. He will probably be ok for today.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

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.

Regrettably this has been going on for a long time, unfortunately riders get no protection from the crowds be they fans or protesters.

(Only saw this Roubaix documentary not too long ago, but protesters disrupted the race even back in 1976.)

Quinn Simmonds is going to win some serious races in the next few years

 

[Red Rick]

I love how because French protesters taking out Kruijswijk, Roglic' injury suddenly is more questionable.

 

[Netserk]

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

I would call it a calculated panic if anything.

 

[Casper96]

Alpe d'Huez says otherwise.

It's just a question if his relative lack of high profile on the other stages means he's not that close to 100%, or if the team before today was just so strong that he wasn't as needed. Sepp will have the opportunity to be the MVP of one or two climbing stages this week, for sure, if he has the legs.

Hopefully Jonas isn't too damaged by his fall - that would be a crappy way for Pogacar to take this.

 

[Bonimenier]

37 minutes. He will probably be ok for today.

That means still 70km to go for him. I'm not sure.

 

[Samamba]

With all those sprinter teams needing to burry themselves now it might be possible for someone to do a late solo attack.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Jakobson & Ewan at +6mins

 

[Red Rick]

Since when do flat stages get time cuts of eons

I doubt they are French.

Someone will surely try!

Omg... then you call it what you wanna call it buddy, since this seems pretty pointless to argue about.

It's also pointless to say that he is in a panic if it's just because he is hurrying back to the front of the peloton when that was the only smart thing to do.

Kuss has always been inconsistent though, it's why the handful of opportunities he got to ride for himself last year didn't work out.

 

[postmanhat]

Jeremy Irons was such a brilliant business bastard in that film.

 

[JosefK]

No room left for any more pins in the voodoo doll?

 

[Pirazziattacks]

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

Compared with last year's Tour he's been nowhere. I don't really blame him as a 23 year old who started with only one other rider for help on the flat, but it's still not the best time to be throwing stones.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Jeremy Irons was such a brilliant business bastard in that film.

He's good in everything.

 

[ashhutch1997]

I love how because French protesters taking out Kruijswijk, Roglic' injury suddenly is more questionable.

To be fair I think most people were questioning it given the fact he's been doing lots of work. And all of a sudden he wants to let the injury heal. It's almost like he's thinking about himself rather than the team.
Don't get me wrong, I could be totally wrong, but there's something odd about it

Since Extreme Weather Protocol

 

[sir fly]

I agree with Kirby, but not from too far out.
I flyer may be the winning ticket today.
