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

[Krafty89]

Guess Thomas has knocked it off on this descent. He's already around 3mins up on 4th now. Saving himself from blowing up completely and losing the podium?

 

[Rollthedice]

Without Vinge in the race Pog wins this Tour with whatever minutes he chooses. Question is how did this Vinge get so good?

UAE destoyed Jumbo team with 2 guys only...

 

[ppanther92]

So much for the inevitable downhill attack. Pogacar really doesn't seem to think he has an edge there.

Also doesn't look like it, tbh.

 

[Cassirer]

Nevermind the realism, but this tour is a treat. Would love to see how roglic would fit in here, probably somewhere between the 2 monsters and thomas.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Ineos don't seem to care about Yates. Van Baarle and Castroviejo not going back for him

 

[Arked]

UAE destoyed Jumbo team with 2 guys only...

It's not lika Jumbo has abundance of climbers though. And likely they are more fatigued than UAE guys (protecting yellow).

 

[Warhawk]

According to the graphic the Van Aert group has the polka dot jersey in it, but NOT the green jersey. Interesting.

EDIT: OK they changed it to the Geschke group, lol.

Absolutely. It's the best Tour in recent memory imo.

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

what an exciting race

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bardet has made quite the recovery from being ill yesterday.

 

[bob.a.feet]

It's surely going to be a reenactment of Tourmalet 2010.

[Devil's Elbow]

Side note, but Vingegaard is probably the favourite for the KOM jersey now. Only 10 points down on Geschke with a stage win and a HC MTF tomorrow.

Ideally would be seen if Roglic and Vingegaard wouldn't be team-mates.

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Vingegaard not getting dropped I think, he looks strong.

 

[Salvarani]

UAE and Pog has at least made today really hard.

It is a really hard day tomorrow also.

Maybe betting on Pogs recovery and that multiple days of hard racing could affect Vinge in some ways. Not much more they can do.

 

[GroupDK]

McNulty and Mikkel Bjerg.. been outstanding helpers today for Pogacar

And it looks all so calm. I think we are underestimating the super human speed of this TdF. Like on Alpe d' Huez - yes, best post-2006 time got some aknowledgement but it was actually done by multiple start-stop attacks, which is all but optimal for a fast time.

 

[gregrowlerson]

McNulty is the American Heras.

Ahh you beat me to it. Wtf is this climbing level

 

[Didinho]

Hope that Pogi can repay their efforts with a stage win at least
