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

[Zinoviev Letter]

riding hard enough to keep Groenewegen behind is keeping the two attackers close enough for someone to think about jumping across

 

[Salvarani]

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.

Of course he was stressed out and in a bit of panic after just having crashed.

He had to change his bike and only had Laporte that could help pull for him. He had to do the last bit himself. Considering Steven has just crashed and was out, Im sure the team as a whole was in a bit of panic.

Such a dumb thing to get hung up on and wanna argue about, because you didnt like the wording. Do something more productive.

 

[Faserr]

37 minutes. He will probably be ok for today.

I don't think so. He is still 10km from the last hill and the bunch really pushed it up the climb.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Kristoff and Hofstetter both in the Groenewegen group with teammates yet no help for BEX...

 

[Red Rick]

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

Contador did 6W/kg for 20 minutes on a broken tibia. Just because they can drop the weaker riders doesn't mean they're not injured and getting worse.

He's good in everything.

He even knows where the best place in the world to live is: West Cork.

 

[noob]

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.

He has always been inconsistent yes. But still he's more inconsistent so far than last year if both his tour and vuelta is included.

He talked in his interview on LR about how he seems to do better riding for others than himself so he prefers the former.

I love that part of the world.

 

[Velolover2]

What's the time between group 3 and the peloton?

 

[Salvarani]

Not been much slow pedaling on this stage.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

What's the time between group 3 and the peloton?

35 seconds and falling.

 

[tobydawq]

Nice work by BikeExchange.

 

[Samamba]

Groenewegen group is closing in.
Philipsen praying they won't come back.

 

[Stelvio]

Pinot stayed in a race with a bad back for too long, that was a bad call. Maybe this extra week of rest can be what makes the Vuelta possible to win for Roglic.

 

[yaco]

I doubt BEX will get this back when their two biggest engines are not there - Durbridge out with COVID and Bauer crashed just before the climb.

although buying a castle there and painting it pink does show less reliable good taste

What I've been thinking too. Would have hated to see another Pinot-situation.

 

[Salvarani]

Thomas and Gougeard putting in a shift atm

Seems like they will make it.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Peloton going really slow considering that Thomas and Gougeard are gaining time.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Did he really do that?

 

[Netserk]

There's a hidden hill coming up soon:

How are those 2 gaining time.
If the peloton wants to keep Groenewegen behind they need to go faster and thry to crack him on the next uphill part.

 

[tobydawq]

Since when do flat stages get time cuts of eons

Since today? Because of the heat it was extended to 20%.

 

[Salvarani]

Lets not forget Thomas and Gougeard are two pretty strong riders.
