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

[RobertCrawley]

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

Aye, OK Carlton.

I think he did. V and Pog are just that much better than anyone else. G is hanging in.

 

[Blanco]

Pogacar should try to attack Vingegaard downhill. Uphill doesn't work...

He should learn thing or two from Contador and Nibali...

 

[Moondance]

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

That would be GC suicide if you saw what Bjerg and McNulty were capable of doing today. I think Ving is happy with this margin going into the TT

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Gaudu recovered really quite well after dropping so early.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

And to think, less than 2 years ago Vingegaard finished 46th a couple of months shy of his 24th birthday in the 2020 Vuelta, 2 hours behind Roglic.

Now, he simply cannot be dropped by the absolute generational talent, Pogacar, who finished 3rd in the 2019 Vuelta 2:55 down on Roglic at age 20 even as they are absolutely demolishing everyone else.

Insane stuff.

 

[Bonimenier]

Gaudu recovered really quite well after dropping so early.

Been a bit of a pattern this Tour

 

[ontheroad]

He actually looks a bit spent for a change.

And Vingegaard still glued to his wheel after the finish line, he'll be putting him to bed tonight as well!

 

[Miha81]

UAE actually showed some srenght and superglue actually counterattacked

 

[JosefK]

What a stage! I couldn't peel my eyes off the action long enough to post here. Ride of the day by the pit bull McNulty. Where did that come from? Pog was great, and so was Vingo. UAE tried everything, but Vingo was too strong. Only 4 net bonus seconds picked up by Pog. But . . . guys went super deep, today. Tomorrow could see craziness. It's not over.

Vinge looked quite confident on today's downhills though..

 

[dazaau]

I think he did. V and Pog are just that much better than anyone else. G is hanging in.

Agree. And it's more than possible he is doing better than the year he won. Crazy stuff

 

[SHAD0W93]

Well if they extend the tour a couple weeks Pog might be able to make up the time on the bonuses.

And Crushweak is gone so don’t have to worry about him.

 

[Cagalitroso]

Kuss is out, so 2021, all the cool kiddos prefer McNulty now

 

[HelloDolly]

Berg and McNulty ....if they are not wasted tomorrow then we need to ask questions

 

[Potomac]

Anybody can have a bad day, so still a chance for GC drama tomorrow

 

[TourOfSardinia]

GC

 

[KOM]

Very selfish from van Aert to not take the stage win so Pogi gets 4 less bonus seconds I must say

 

[Rollthedice]

Pogacar should try to attack Vingegaard downhill. Uphill doesn't work...

Nothing works. It was over on Granon.

 

[zorroz69]

UAE, kick Hirschi pls...

 

[RobertCrawley]

Anybody can have a bad day, so still a chance for GC drama tomorrow

100 percent.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Been a bit of a pattern this Tour

Said it before and I'll say it again, he's extremely similar to Almeida in ability and racing style. Only the TT ability is missing.

 

[Sciatic]

Argh, disappointed that Eurosport-Francaise cut away to studio with 90% of the field not in yet

 

[roundabout]

Seems like Ineos don't care about Yates as still Castroviejo and Van Baarle did not help

Guess it's confirmed that he is leaving

 

[RedheadDane]

UAE, kick Hirschi pls...

That's mean!

 

[RobertCrawley]

Very selfish from van Aert to not take the stage win so Pogi gets 4 less bonus seconds I must say

Yes! Wout did it again! He cost his leader 4 seconds. I have never seen a more selfish rider than Wout van Aert. The DS should send him home.
