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

[Salvarani]

Gaudu!

Fdj planning something today? A few of them in the break.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Brandon Mcnulty in the break, I'd say there was a plan afoot but Soler didn't wait last time and rolled in for his anonymous top 10 so maybe they want the stage.

 

[Filippo_3467]

That's interesting. Doesn't doom the break necessarily, but limits the amount of time they'll get.

There are not that many legs left to chase. Could be a promising move for Bora.Of course not for yello, but to get 2-3 minutes back.

 

[Miha81]

So where is all that rain you folks were talking about?

I guess it is not coming. Changed weather reports for this week. At first it was a lot of rain whole week, then some rain, now maybe some rain after 5pm

 

[ashhutch1997]

Brandon McNulty is in the break, could be very important for Pogi if he gets a gap over the MDP

 

[postmanhat]

Martinez - the Ineos rider no one wants to see on a descent finish

 

[spalco]

Yeah, very good move. Can't win if you don't try.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Quinn Simmons' younger brother Kyle has missed the move

 

[Potomac]

Simmons worked over by Delilah

 

[roundabout]

looks occasionally gusty, but i am not sure that the terrain is open enough and there is enough interest

[Filippo_3467]

What is this break? Crazy stuff...

 

[yaco]

Poor by BEX to miss the break and then to have Matthews bridge across by himself without any other team members.

 

[roundabout]

Interesting that teammates of riders who might potentially be threatened by Vlasov seem to be working in the front group right now

 

[Salvarani]

Is that Van Hoydonck with Wout too?

 

[ruamruam]

Is that Van Hoydonck with Wout too?

Yes

 

[Peyroteo94]

UAE is so useless...

 

[ontheroad]

Van Hooydonck up the road also? That leaves Vingegaard with just 3 team mates and with Vlasov in the break they can't sit up too much.

 

[ppanther92]

Bissegger and Geschke going to be friends after this stage...

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

i understand the reasoning behind putting WVA in th break. I don’t understand why they would put Van Hoydonck in it too.

Vlasov in th3 break is double edged. It means there will have to be some kind of chase, but it may mean that a bunch of teams have an interest in protecting placings

 

[RedheadDane]

Is that Van Hoydonck with Wout too?

Looks like it. Maybe so Jonas won't accidentally take his bike.

Fun fact:

Spoiler: BIKLE answer:

Le Gac is the answer of today's riddle. He'll win.

 

[Potomac]

Bissenger protecting Powless position in KOM?

 

[Filippo_3467]

Don't know if the break will really cooperate that well, but it's really a big mistake for Jumbo to. do this in my opinion. Interested in what Ineos will do... they have the numbers.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Bissegger taking the point for Powless

 

[ppanther92]

Bissenger protecting Powless position in KOM?

Yes but actually funny since Powless is also in the break. But I guess he is eying the bigger Cols later on.
