Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 17 (Saint-Gaudens – Peyragudes, 129.7k)

[GroupDK]

"Bjerg" means "mountain" in danish...
well done Mikkel Norsgaard Bjerg.

 

[Gigs_98]

Absolutely incredible job by Bjerg. I'm honestly completely baffled where this is coming from.

 

[Lequack]

Wout could easily have won the yellow jersey, he's barely breathing. It's only cause he's a generous man that he allows Vingegaard to have the jersey.

Absolutely incredible job by Bjerg. I'm honestly completely baffled where this is coming from.

Especially since he was dropped on the first mountain.

Bjerg has pulled out 1:30 on Yates already.

 

[Salvarani]

Yates almost 1:30 behind.

 

[ppanther92]

But you can't use McNulty now already, right? There is a 10-15km flat part coming up.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Absolutely incredible job by Bjerg. I'm honestly completely baffled where this is coming from.

He's done some solid climbing performances in the past - third in Roccaraso in the 2020 Giro comes to mind - but this is both on another level and in a Tour where he's struggled.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Why does Yates always peak at UAE tour?

 

[limak_]

Is Vinge going to try something today or tomorrow (especially with Pogi's team so weakend)? I mean they've already been in such a situation going to the final TT with a "safe" advantage and we all know how it ended up (I know this year's final TT has less potential to make up time, but still).

Probably just want to make the climbs really hard. They wont do work inbetween.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Michel Montagne is destroying everyone, now that the team doesn't have to feed Soler and Majka anymore.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

At the end of the stage Bjerg will remove his mask and reveal himself to actually have been Majka all along.

 

[ppanther92]

Geschke???

 

[RobertCrawley]

Absolutely incredible job by Bjerg. I'm honestly completely baffled where this is coming from.

Must have been quite a pep talk at the dinner table last night.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

When Bjerg stuggled earlier on I really really did not expect this.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Someone tell GCN Ciccone took exactly 2 points there.

 

[Gigs_98]

Slapstick kom battle. You love to see it.

If Pog cracks, yes, but otherwise V's job is sticking to Pog's wheel.

 

[frisenfruitig]

Simmons really impressive as the youngest guy in this race, still being this fresh in the third week in his first Tour is very promising. Especially after attacking so many times.

He is class.

He was able to have triple breakfast with Majka and Soler absent. I've been always talking that carbs is everything

 

[Samamba]

Yates must be sick or something?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Scenery less than impressive right now, just rows and rows of cars and fans along the road. Wonder if they clean up after themselves...

Bjerg looking great though, as he is gritting his teeth.

 

[RobertCrawley]

He is class.

Q a non beard wearer now is riding well.
