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

[titan31]

Bit too much of a gap between WVA and Vingegaard here. Might need to start sitting up soon

 

[Salvarani]

Meintjes!

 

[Rollthedice]

Meintjes on the attack. Consequences of extreme heat.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Meintjes has attacked more in this Tour than in every other GT in his life combined.

 

[Salvarani]

Houle riding really good

 

[AlfaLum]

Meintjes the most attacking rider of the guys between position 3-10. And that just days after Matthews won a stage after being the most attacking rider.

I guess cycling really changed these last couple of years…

Movistar pulling the peloton

"Groupe Madouas" - French TV is funny sometimes.

 

[Salvarani]

The last 3km brutal by the look of that

Tadej will launch.

If Pogacar does manage to get a gap on Vingegaard (which I don't think he is able to going uphill) his biggest problem is that he needs other riders to go with him and none of the other GC men are strong enough. So he is relying on McNulty to give him a tow as Vingegaard has the engine of Van Aert to take him home.

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Will they pull Wout back? He is still almost 7 minutes in front still

I think he is the highest on GC from them

On the flat into Foix, I think.

Man, I post things here and they are answered before I can hit the post button

 

[RedheadDane]

Soler over an hour behind.

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Soler over an hour behind.

Awhhh wish they would let him just stop. This has no use.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Jorgenson really impressive for a guy of his size on these gradients.

 

[roundabout]

Soler over an hour behind.

41 minutes in the live data

 

[Filippo_3467]

Geschke is really magnificent! Hopefully he can stay in the polka dots. Looks good to get points here as well.

 

[ontheroad]

This climb looks like a brute.

 

[Tim Cahill]

WVA will wait at the top of this climb, the sensible move given Jonas' questionable descending and Pogacar's motivations

 

[Volderke]

WvA will try to reach the top at the same time as Vingegaard.

 

[RedheadDane]

Awhhh wish they would let him just stop. This has no use.

Or make him. But maybe he wants a handshake from Prudhomme.

 

[Sciatic]

Movistar in control . . . but of what??
