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

[SafeBet]

UAE and Jumbo are so run-down that Ineos must use Pidcock in a different way from tomorrow.

 

[ruamruam]

Solar now 90 seconds behind the peloton

 

[Peyroteo94]

Soler, for some reason, is always useless for his leader. Can't like this dude.

It’s too bad that none of the stages in the Pyrenees start with a climb.

 

[ontheroad]

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

But will the other teams co-operate after the yellow jersey sent 2 men ahead into the break. At this rate Van Hooydonck will have to drop back shortly if the other teams don't get involved.

Ineos can win the Tour if they play their cards absolutely right.

 

[BigCoward]

Why keep riding when you are done, especially if he is vomiting in this heat. What does it prove?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Soler, for some reason, is always useless for his leader. Can't like this dude.

He is sick.

 

[Moondance]

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?

I don’t see how G drops Ving or Pogi. He’s been pure diesel TT’ing up the mountains all Tour, and doing it magnificently… but when Ving and Pogi have massive turbo’s i can’t see him getting a gap. Maybe G has been saving an extra gear or is gaining one relative to the competition in the last week attrition wars… But given how the climbing has been so far I can’t see it

 

[ontheroad]

Soler getting the full glare of the camera and in such discomfort.

 

[tobydawq]

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

??

You don't want to be criticised by Philippa York?

 

[Stelvio]

I like that Jumbo has an attacking strategy. It can of course fail, but they are going for it and are not afraid to take risks.

 

[roundabout]

Too risky, better wait a bit more and maybe Jumbo and UAE lose a few more riders

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

He is sick.

selfish puking sweating bastard how dare he not be healthy

 

[Filippo_3467]

Jumbo doesn't seem to panic... they still pull in the break. And pull in the back. Chris Horner must be absolutely delighted.

 

[Jagartrott]

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

Then he should have done an honest sprint and not this. It's a bit hypocritical.

 

[tobydawq]

Soler, for some reason, is always useless for his leader. Can't like this dude.

The guy is clearly sick, maybe relax a bit...

Also, is that one incident in Andorra in 2019 the only thing that has given way for this reputation? The fact that people keep mentioning it doesn't mean that he never works for his leader. But I guess that's the meme generation...

I suppose other teams will have to decide if they're racing Vingegaard and Pogacar or are they racing amongst themselves for 3rd. Leaving Vlasov steal time here will make that 3rd spot harder if they don't help out.

 

[Lequack]

What kind of voodoo have Jumbo put on UAE?

 

[Finn84]

AG2R down to three then. The Jungels stage win is crazy because literally everything else has gone wrong for them.

It was just talked that AG2R probably prefers current situation against the situation where they would not have stage wins but would have eight riders remaining.

 

[Salvarani]

Soler will DNF.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Then he should have done an honest sprint and not this. It's a bit hypocritical.

What are you talking about. He won the intermediate sprint by sprinting?

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Why keep riding when you are done, especially if he is vomiting in this heat. What does it prove?

Because the team is already 2 riders down, and he might recover and be helpfull still. I don't think it's about proving something but rather preserving the chance to be helpfull another day in this tour.

 

[MrTea1976]

You don't normally see the broom wagon. I don't think I ever have during the stage.
