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

[Bonimenier]

Imagine winning three stages but losing GC by two minutes haha

Cavendish won 4 stages last year but lost GC by over 4h30

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Yes, Pogi!

McNulty rode terrifically as well.

 

[Salvarani]

Tbf I think Pog got the absolute maximum today. If he can't properly drop Vingegaard on that ramp he can drop him absolutely nowhere

He can only hope Vingegaard will suffer for the efforts and that his recovery is better. Not much else he can do.

 

[titan31]

Vingegaard went a bit too early there

Exactly

 

[ontheroad]

Not sure what to say after that today but probably best for another forum. It was entertaining but unbelievable.

 

[Gigs_98]

Absolutely enormous time gaps

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Look at the difference between Pogacar and Vingegaard and everyone else up the final ramp. Must be double the speed.

 

[Scarponi]

Everyone is suffering wow

 

[StryderHells]

Imagine winning three stages but losing GC by two minutes haha

Why is that funny?

 

[Moondance]

What should he do in your opinion when the last 20 attacks haven't worked at all?

fine to ride tempo and all… But don’t toot your horn and say “I will attack every climb and give everything” and then ride for boni seconds and padding the margin to Thomas

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Goatdu!!!

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Come on Quintana!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Is that one second between Quintana and Gaudu on GC?

 

[GroupDK]

Big win to Jonas with merely -4sec time bonus loss.
problematic day for Jumbo where UAE had the massive upper-teamhand.
Could Jonas have dropped Pogacar if he tried earlier. .. perhaps but also a hard day tomorrow. and all focus on TdF and not giving Pogacar motivation with signs of cracking..

 

[roundabout]

Pogacar keeps his run of winning 3 stages per GT going

 

[Scarponi]

Why is that funny?

This forum has a fetish with Grand Tour winners winning a stage and specifically a mountain or atleast up hill stage where they say those who didn’t aren’t as
legitimate. Here we have a rider who won three and still got thrashed. It’s amusing in a non teasing way

 

[Escarabajo]

Tomorrow Vingegaard attacks from far away to put the nail in the coffin!

Far away = last mountain. But not waiting for the sprint!

 

[RobertCrawley]

Pog emptied the tank.

 

[MartinGT]

Kirby seems to think 'Gee' was doing a great job.

Aye, OK Carlton.

 

[GroupDK]

Fair enough that UAE gets today stagewin with Pogacar..they really took the scene with Bjerg and McNulty.

 

[Bonimenier]

Tomorrow Vingegaard attacks from far away to put the nail in the coffin!

Why would he risk that?

 

[limak_]

Tomorrow Vingegaard attacks from far away to put the nail in the coffin!

Does Jumbo have balls to do that? Don't think so.

 

[Potomac]

Vinge looking great but I I admire UAE that they keep trying.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Pog emptied the tank.

He actually looks a bit spent for a change.
