Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 16 (Carcassonne – Foix, 178.5k)

Mas is being caught now

 

[Gwbert]

Vingegaard should have let him go, let him burn himself out and bring him back with NVH & Kuss

 

[Mayomaniac]

A former Tour winner riding for 3rd place and seeming with no intention to try to improve his position. What a shame.

Yeah, it would be one thing if they'd at least send Adam Yates on the attack, but nope...

 

[Moondance]

No Más

Don't think you can risk that. What if McNulty has a great day?

 

[KOM]

Another flawless executed Movistar plan

Not really their fault Pogi is a psycho. I mean this in the best sense obv

 

[Pirazziattacks]

I'm not sure if Pog is setting up a knockout blow on the final climb, or just tiring himself out.

 

[Bonimenier]

It's not like Pogi didn't say he was going to attack everwhere

 

[Movitrain]

Another flawless executed Movistar plan

This was the most aggressive i've seen Enric Mas in the past two and a half years, please don't ruin this with your slander. Forreal though, there is no "right" tactic against Vingegaard and Pogacar.

Yeah, it's good to see Banesto at least try something.

Vinge was practically isolated at the moment of Pogi's attack, so Pogi lost nothing, as the Jonas' effort to close him was more or less equal to his.

I know.

Movistar suck when they try something.

Movistar suck when they don't try something.

 

[spalco]

It will really be interesting what VA is doing if he's in touch with the front group on top of that mountain. I have no idea what'll happen.

 

[GroupDK]

Bardet & Froome back.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Possibly, but last time he was active from a long way out it didn't end well.

This response cost me a large amount of braincells

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Van Aert has been called back to work?

Edit: nope, just not good enough on the section that should suit him best.

 

[Salvarani]

Van Aert has been called back to work?

He is in the Geschke group.

 

[JosefK]

Shocking. Looks like WVA may actually help Vingo later on the descent?

 

[RedheadDane]

Yeah, it's good to see Banesto at least try something.

And I made fun of Valv.Piti for calling Jumbo "Lotto" earlier today.

 

[roundabout]

Jumbo has everything under control right now, no need for Van Aert

 

[KOM]

You know youre aggresive if your attacks surprise Contador

 

[Sciatic]

Carnage incoming on this final climb

 

[Bonimenier]

Shocking. Looks like WVA may actually help Vingo later on the descent?

What did you think the plan was all along? The nonsense that he is selfish and not helping Vingegaard should stop. Somehow this selfish dude won the vote for domestique of the 2nd week held by le Tour twitterpage.

It's a long flat to the finish line. If V has the WVA motor scooter in front of him, that could be the difference.
