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

[Didinho]

Hope to see Pidcock at the top, to see how much he takes back in the descent

 

[RobertCrawley]

Sepptimus!

 

[ontheroad]

Kuss on a good day, he's doing some damage. Maijka wasn't going fast enough for Vingegaard.

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Yates losing touch to the group

 

[ruamruam]

Where is Van Aert?

 

[Salvarani]

Thomas with Gaudu

 

[Scarponi]

Love watching the breakaway riders watch GC riders fly past or when they try and hold for 500m to see what it’s like holding the lead climbers

 

[RedheadDane]

Where is Van Aert?

There!

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Mcnulty and Van Aert shadowing each other

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Wout annoyed that so many fans are at the top, can't take a piss in peace again.

 

[Sciatic]

Wout stopping for an espresso

 

[Warhawk]

Wout Van Aert SELFISHLY stopping to rest to prepare himself for the sprint for the stage!

 

[Stelvio]

Where is Van Aert?

Probably selfishly waiting somewhere, sipping tea.

 

[Rollthedice]

One kuss is all you need.

 

[spalco]

McNulty and Van Aert can share a six-pack at the top.

 

[BigCoward]

People asking G to 'do something' to not just ride for 3rd, what exactly should he do when he has no change of pace and is not as strong as the people you want him to overcome?

 

[Salvarani]

Pog should wait until tomorrow now

 

[Warhawk]

People asking G to 'do something' to not just ride for 3rd, what exactly should he do when he has no change of pace and is not as strong as the people you want him to overcome?

G can change his pace! He goes from stationary before the stage starts to mobile during the stage. That's called acceleration.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Maijka is hot.

 

[Andy262]

Great to see the Nairoman back to something like his best.

 

[spalco]

In the end, Jumbo has the strongest team on top of the mountain even.

 

[Scarponi]

G pacing himself well

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Pog should wait until tomorrow now

I think so too. Today wont make any sense with Wout being there to pace in the descent. Tomorrow and Thursday there will be uphill finishes

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The fact that Pogacar isn't attacking really should tell Vingegaard that he can take time today if he isn't at the limit.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Vingegaard seems to deal with the heat very well for an incredibly pasty Dane. He's barely got his jersey unzipped.
