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

[ppanther92]

Bjerg and Hirschi getting dropped on every speed bump plus McNulty must surely be the worst team of a potential winner (even podium finisher) since a long time...

 

[ontheroad]

Horrible bad luck and it makes a Pog long range attack almost futile now without the necessary support. The onus is on Ineos to do something long range today with Yates or Pidcock since UAE are really limited with just one mountain dom left.

 

[Red Rick]

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

Steve would never risk his precious 3rd place.

 

[roundabout]

Benoot might have Covid too

Although that could be wishful thinking from FTV

 

[Filippo_3467]

Will be really difficult to control the break with long flatrun in and the low domestique numbers. Ineos will for sure try to get Yates into a move. If there are multiple teams up front if roleurs and a reason to pull this could be a really busy day for Jumbo for every inch of the road.

 

[Tim Cahill]

The thing with Yates is when do Arkea and FDJ start pacing at that point

If he goes then Quintana and Gaudu should try going with

That innocuous stage 19 got a bit more interesting as well, Ineos have a stacked rouler team

I would think its logical that Ineos now believe they have a chance of getting a rider into second at a minimum. Sooner or later they will have to play a tactical game. I also don't think Pog is that overly bothered about finishing second, it is win or nowhere for him so he will risk it all to lose his podium.

They are gonna sit with 8 riders behind JV and be down to two after the first attacks Pog makes.

Will Pidcock manage his ballsy claim?

Based on current form and weak UAE I am affraid it will be time for superglue again in terms of GC

If Jonas is super glue, Geraint Thomas is Pritt Stick.

 

[Potomac]

Pog 's inevitable victory will look even mightier now losing another team mate

 

[Salvarani]

Jonas on the wheel of Pog.

 

[HelloDolly]

Dan martin said he spoke to Pog last night and he was down after losing Soler. Must be very down this morning

 

[Tim Cahill]

Jonas constantly out of position having to push a lot himself

 

[Eclipse]

Froome on the attack. What a sight!

 

[Salvarani]

Froome!

 

[Rollthedice]

Froome in all his glory at 58 km/h

 

[Salvarani]

Geniets in trouble for FDJ...

Horrible day for him in the saddle.

 

[topcat]

Froome attack. Ad break. The suspense is killing me.

He is steaming on the front!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Multi-Dawg attack

Shades of Col Du Beal

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Majka out of the Tour. Now Pog basically has no team.

 

[Red Rick]

Mythical mountain breakaway rider Dylan Groenewegen on the move

 

[Tim Cahill]

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

 

[Salvarani]

Pidcock!
