Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 18 (Lourdes – Hautacam, 143.2k)

[Finn84]

If Ciccone also wins the second KOM, then he has 71 points. Which means it´s ok for him, if Pogacar wins the stage. (Pogacar then has 66 points) If Vingegaard wins, then Vingegaard has one point more (72) in the KOM..

Regarding the latter, there is two 4th category climbs tomorrow and one on Sunday.

Mas is going at Zakarin speed...

Looked completely empty.

 

[Eclipse]

Movistar need a new Spanish prospect to ride for so Mas can finally adopt the super dom role he was born to play.

 

[roundabout]

Mas seems to have lost his nerve going downhill

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Mas in the process of being dropped by group Meintjes.

Has lost two minutes since the summit of Aubisque. You just cannot be that bad on descents if you want to do anything in the mountains.

I don't think he was with the leaders over Aubisque, so he is slightly better than terrible downhill now

I don't think it's a question about descending skills. He looks like a broken man. But okay, now he suddenly regains contact with Meintjes... So I guess I'm wrong.

What a shame he refuses to become the new Reichenbach

 

[ppanther92]

So if Vingegaard does a Mas, we have a race...

It's not looking great for either the breakaway or Ciccone if McNulty starts drilling it on Spandelles, they haven't got enough of a time gap.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Meintjes in virtual third!

 

[dgodave]

Im already scared for the next descent.

Nope. Dead.

4 minutes should be enough on a 10K climb, imo

 

[Didinho]

McNulty! It's happening boys!

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Here comes McNulty

McNultinator train leaving the station

Well, they've missed out on Ayuso and Rodriguez, so with Valverde retiring Movistar literally can't be the Spanish-centered WT team they've always been. They look a little redundant right now, tbh...

 

[SafeBet]

McNuts motoring.

 

[Savant12]

Rohan McNulty doing it all again.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Brantani on the front

 

[ice&fire]

Another 15m of full gas McNulty today

 

[Gigs_98]

The Mc Nultrain to Hautacam has left the station

 

[Eclipse]

Let's get nuclear

 

[RobertCrawley]

Pidders missed his second and third breakfasts.
