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

Looking forward to Ricco flashbacks on this climb

 

[Tim Cahill]

Can't see the Aspin without being reminded of this piece of cycling comedy

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Dawg putting down the hammer, in the distance you can see Vingo and Pog gasping for breath.

 

[Eclipse]

Froome on the attack yet again. Looks like something really has clicked into place for him.

Don't mock him, the team's mechanic forgot to put the small ring on the bike on that morgning. Poor guy had to go 45kmh in the climb to reach 70 rpm.

It won't happen, but imagine if the top 2 blew up and Thomas couldn't accelerate...

 

[Gigs_98]

This Tour is such an absolute demolition derby I don't think I can remember anything similar. The team of the yellow jersey loses one of its co-leaders and one of the best mountain domestiques in the world and everyone is looking at them thinking, yeah they are fine.

 

[Salvarani]

Pinot!

 

[spalco]

50,5 km/h average so far, not bad considering it was a good amount uphill the whole way.

 

[Salvarani]

Van Aert already on the front of the peloton

I disagree. It's really only 2 dudes in Jumbo's team and half of Pogs team. Ineos is untouched but they're not trying to win. The racing situation simply makes any other team irrelevant by default.

There have been far bigger demolition derbies.

Good old non-seated climbing all the way

 

[titan31]

I didn't even realise Pinot was still in the race

 

[MrTea1976]

Does Vingo fancy the break?

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Hirschi already gone.

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Hirschi dropping

 

[spalco]

Poor Hirschi. I hope he finds his form again next year, he was such an exciting rider when he first appeared.

 

[ppanther92]

I mean, Hirschi is behind Bjerg in GC (or Groenewegen for that matter). He drops as soon as the road goes up.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Is Shimano paying the camera crew? Why are the filming the dura ace and not the race?

 

[Red Rick]

First 2 climbs are perfect for Van Aert. But I'm still surprised Jumbo are keeping the break in check.

Maybe Jumbo wants to put Pogacar 2 meters under today

 

[Samamba]

Climber Ewan still in the peloton.

Why is Jumbo trying to control?

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Bjerg also in trouble. So this is going to be a very long day for McNulty.

 

[ppanther92]

Bjerg also gone (as expected).

Lets see what McNulty can do.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bjerg also gone (as expected).

Lets see what McNulty can do.

Drop on Azet, probably.

Because it’s a sexy groupset.
