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

[ppanther92]

Jumbo trying to get riders up the road so UAE have to work according to Blythe

If he was right then the breakaway would be enjoying a 50 minute lead

Long day for McNulty since Bjerg and Hirschi are gone as soon as it goes up

 

[Red Rick]

Time limit gonna be under 40 minutes today. Could be challenging for some sprinters.

 

[42x16ss]

Wonder if people could now be feeling brave enough to try and attack Pogacar for 2nd

Not happening, Thomas is too much of a diesel and nobody else looks strong enough.

Not happening, Thomas is too much of a diesel and nobody else looks strong enough.

Outside chance for Pogacar to reverse attack riders below him for lower places by making a crazy suicide attack that blows up spectacularly.

 

[topcat]

Thomas a diesel? He was a track rider, he was a classics rider, then became a gc rider winning mountain top sprints. He's just not as strong as Pog, Vinnie and usually Quintana. He rides within himself and when the pace drops, he catches up.

 

[ppanther92]

Brutal pace so far, like it.

 

[ppanther92]

And there is WvA

 

[topcat]

Wout on the move, the star of the show.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

What's Van Aert doing here?

Step up Nairoman

 

[ppanther92]

Cofidis closes the gap with an all out effort with almost 100km to go.

 

[ppanther92]

Konrad rides a lot from the front. Would be deserved for him to be in the group.

 

[KOM]

Ok so far I was on the opposite end of the van Aert is a selfish idiot camp, but why on earth did he take a huge pull there with Pidcock on his wheel!?

 

[topcat]

Green Jersey secured, now all in for yellow.

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Sporza celebrating Wout winning the green jersey.

ok we know that but I am the only one who thinks this brings bad luck? Lets hope Wout arrives safely.

 

[Salvarani]

Only 20-25km until Aspin now.

 

[RedheadDane]

Suffer-story of today:
Geniets.
Felline not looking great either.

 

[Salvarani]

Felline not good. Looked like he was coughing, so probably he is sick.

 

[MrTea1976]

Felline either coughing or retching.

 

[Samamba]

Take Felline out of the race, this isn't healthy.

 

[KOM]

Almost only roulers trying to break away... climbers are cooked probably hoping Aspin starts before one is established

P.S. There are way and i mean WAY too many flat starts on mountain stages

 

[Ilmaestro99]

What was Trek's reasoning for bringing Ciccone and Gallopin instead of Elissonde??

 

[Salvarani]

Bettiol...
