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

[roundabout]

Soler...

I thought he was getting back, but seems to be stuck in the cars a bit too long now

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Soler struggling?

Nah probably went to the team car? Maybe a mechanical?

 

[Bonimenier]

Takes a really long time for Soler to come back

 

[tobydawq]

Soler done. Ouch.

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Ok I take that back but I guess with Soler you never know.

Team car is second in order and he is a lot further back than that

Even accounting for a mechanical he probably would have been back already

 

[jarvo]

he seems to be pedalling not quite squares, but getting that way

 

[ontheroad]

Soler looks as though he is ready to get off the bike.

 

[ice&fire]

Soler done. Ouch.

Stomach problems.

 

[postmanhat]

If UAE or Ineos start riding then we know Jumbo has already won.

They have the most to lose I suppose with Pidcock and Yates already losing virtual GC places. Arkea and Wanty should start helping at some stage you'd suppose. The latter haven't done anything for Kristoff recently, so presumably they're all in for Meintjes.

 

[roundabout]

racecenter writes that he was throwing up

 

[tobydawq]

According to Twitter, he has been vomiting.

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Official website reporte Soler is sick and has been throwing up

 

[sir fly]

Soler disgusted for some reason.

 

[Moondance]

Ugh… Horrible for Soler. And in this heat as well

 

[BigCoward]

Do we think G will attack when ineos have their full team and Pog and JV are on their own, as seems likely if this carries on?

If Ineos goes aggressive, I would expect Yates to attack before G.

 

[Peyroteo94]

You can take Soler from Movistar but you can't take Movistar from Soler...

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Eekhoff one of my favourite riders now, Belgian Pozzato expecting to just spin over the line for 20 points? In the Tour De France?

 

[roundabout]

Now it seems that cooperation ahead is much better and the gap can easily be 8 minutes plus at the start of Lers

 

[Filippo_3467]

At that rate it will be Vingo and Pogi versus Ineos

The gap get's bigger but Jumbo shouldn't be concerned about Vlasov. They could give him 15 Minutes until the first climb starts and I wouldn't be worried for the overall. DSM, FDJ and Arkea could be teams that help chasing but atm they help Vlasov in the break, even thou FDJ is doing not much...

G will get dropped on MdP.

 

[titan31]

You'd imagine if you're Jumbo you don't want Kuss to start his work until the final climb. They need someone to ride really here

It's really hard imagining Thomas to attack them, he'll most likely will look out for Bardet first, as it is not exactly likely he'll catch either of the riders in front of him. If one of them struggles than ofc it's possible, but in the end it would be more like Ineos to just put pressure on and ride a tempo that is good for Thomas to survive.

 

[ontheroad]

Ineos missed a trick by not trying to get Pidcock into the break with the finishing descent.
