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

[Bonimenier]

Selfish van Aert not letting Vingegaard and Kuss pass

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Vlasov gets the day's Zubeldia award.

He spent half of Lers doing pointless attacks, so no.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

wtf martinez

Whad'i miss?

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Calling that a sprint?

Yeah I am disappointed. He even was beaten by vingegaard. Pogitantrum coming up

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

Vlasov gets the day's Zubeldia award.

he was on tv and attacking so already failed.

 

[T-Nielsen]

Perfect tactics from JV today.

Perfect win for Houle.

Jorgenson must be favorit for the most combative rider.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Putting a mask over your eyes seems like overdoing the Covid protection thing.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Here the commentators are praising the concept of having team mates waiting on the top of the last climb, but isn't it a bit late to make a difference? At a point where there were almost no flat sections left?

 

[JRanton]

Really odd from Ineos

 

[roundabout]

Froome finishes with Pinot Lutsenko and Mas

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Froome dropped Bardet

 

[RobertCrawley]

Big ride by Wout. He got over the mountains and help #1.

But so selfish too.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wait Dawg dropped Bardet!?

Where's Taxus get him in here

#StriveforFive

 

[Blobs]

No

Haha, I'm honestly surprised. Jumbo definitely thought he would, so they started the sprint themselves

 

[JosefK]

he was on tv and attacking so already failed.

Yes, I recant my praise.

 

[roundabout]

3:30 plus for Bardet

 

[Bonimenier]

After a tactical masterclass of Movistar, Mas manages to take HUGE time on Bardet

 

[Gigs_98]

Still wondering about Martinez pulling. The only relevant gc rider he was putting time into was his teammate. That can't have been because of Vlasov right?

 

[Salvarani]

It's not only hindsight. When it happened, I couldn't figure out what on Earth he was closing Roglic for.

And yes, he's (Roglic) a great rider and there's respect between them and yada yada yada, but he still should have just let him go.

You are so smart

They were fighting against Vlasov????

 

[MrTea1976]

Well said, Robbie.

 

[madthebad]

As long as Kuss is still in the race thats all Vingegaard needs. Sepp is a monster, especially in 3rd week of Grand Tours.

 

[JohnWayne]

Perfect tactics from JV today.

Perfect win for Houle.

Jorgenson must be favorit for the most combative rider.

No no you don’t understand, JV tactics were beyond stupid today! What if Vignegaard would have needed WvA to hold his hand or buy him ice cream in the first half of the stage? Would have been game over!

Here the commentators are praising the concept of having team mates waiting on the top of the last climb, but isn't it a bit late to make a difference? At a point where there were almost no flat sections left?

It can make a huge difference. Having Wout Van Aert as the lead downhill and on the flats is much much safer. Also, had Pog take a few seconds on the climb, Wout could bring it back on the flats.

 

[postmanhat]

Shame we didn't see it, but Pidcock must have descended fairly well to catch up with Yates, and then help him to the finish.
