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

[Scarponi]

Think 2010 Contador and Schleck would get smoked by these two.

It’s weird how that 2010 pace looks quicker than today but the times are so much better now

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

That attack was effing powerful

 

[titan31]

That Thomas, Kuss group should get Bardets help on this decent as he wasn't too far behind them.

 

[Sciatic]

Yikes McNulty.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Those sandy corners are really scary.

 

[Eclipse]

Quite impressed by Lutsenko.

 

[Bonimenier]

Thomas the big favourite now that Pogacar and Vingegaard are descending in the wheel of McNulty

 

[HelloDolly]

UAE certainly had a very good breakfast

Berg and McNulty dropped all the other GC contenders

Amasing

 

[titan31]

Right, Vingegaard is actually a good descender

 

[RobertCrawley]

Right, Vingegaard is actually a good descender

He looks comfortable and in control.

 

[Salvarani]

Right, Vingegaard is actually a good descender

Doing everything right

 

[roundabout]

Thomas the big favourite now that Pogacar and Vingegaard are descending in the wheel of McNulty

Still about the same gap as it was at the top

But who knows what happens if there will be a stalemate on the Peyresourde

 

[Potomac]

McNulty descending.....hard to watch

 

[Sciatic]

Betting sites busy setting odds on whether zMcnulty makes it to the bottom in one piece

 

[spalco]

McNulty is a bit of a menace downhill, he constantly takes terrible lines.

 

[roundabout]

Descent over for the front group

 

[Scarponi]

Mcnulty probably never had to truly race a descent like this

 

[Potomac]

OTOH Thomas descending 20'' slower than McNulty

 

[Gigs_98]

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

 

[spalco]

Descent over for the front group

Thank the gods, they made it.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Mcnulty probably never had to truly race a descent like this

Itzulia 2021, when he was in the lead going into the final day and Jumbo smoked UAE on a descent.

 

[Scarponi]

Quintana shedding big time to Thomas

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Wow 1:10 gap with a whole climb today. If they really hammer, could easily be 2-3 minutes to Thomas. On the flipside, they could also do track stands and this could come back together. Will be interesting to see.

 

[Red Rick]

Steve secured 3rd place while getting obliterated 25km from the finish

Crazy days
