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

[Devil's Elbow]

Van Aert being the biggest threat for the stage-win is hilarious

From a break with literally every climber in a position to attack too.

 

[roundabout]

Think Kuss slowed down a bit

 

[Eclipse]

Why is Wout riding full here at the head?

Why not? The tour clearly shows he doesn't feel fatigue or effort in the same way as other riders

 

[SHAD0W93]

USA time gaps breaking for a couple seconds saying Quintana is 16 mins back.

 

[Ricco']

Why is Wout riding full here at the head?

He wants the points for the green jersey. If Pog wins the stage he can stay only 220 points from his lead.

 

[Volderke]

I guess the JV discussion at the breakfast table ended with:
“First at the top gets beer and pizza”

 

[ppanther92]

I remember someone saying here that Wout's climbing level is significantly lower this year than last year

I am a bit afraid of the day WvA decides to prepare specifically for the mountains.

Who the *** knows...

Van Aert for the second GC leader for Jumbo next year? Green accoplished, let's move to another objects

 

[Salvarani]

From a break with literally every climber in a position to attack too.

And he was the first to attack on the day... this is just... a lot.

 

[Didinho]

The motor pushing the fat supporter, love it

 

[ppanther92]

Why is Wout riding full here at the head?

Can win the Polka Dots as well.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pinot should be stood on the side of the road waiting for his teammate rather than 'plugging away'.

 

[Cagalitroso]

where is the French police when you need it?

 

[ngent41]

USA time gaps breaking for a couple seconds saying Quintana is 16 mins back.

He might be, if he can't find another moto to hang onto

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Poor Thibaut

 

[RobertCrawley]

Why not? The tour clearly shows he doesn't feel fatigue or effort in the same way as other riders

He'll get caught pretty soon here.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Guys are training for 6 months for this and are too exhausted to go in the break in the final week.

Meanwhile jumbo riders are discussing which of their riders win the stage

 

[madthebad]

Vingo really looks like Macaulay Culkin.

Well, he is basically Home Alone in this TDF at the moment.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

WVA looks angry, probably pissed because Kuss is going so fast lol

 

[tobydawq]

Martínez has one clear objective today. DON'T FINISH BEHIND WOUT!

 

[SafeBet]

Please one last attack Wout, don't let them catch you so easily!!!

Meanwhile jumbo riders are discussing which of their riders win the stage

And Wout was on the attack today from kilometre 0 practcially

..like the every other day in this Tour

 

[roundabout]

Van Aert could have genuinely won the stage of he did not ride Pinot pace at the start of the climb

 

[bambino]

Wout is basically competing against Vignegaard now for polka dots

 

[Casper96]

Guys are training for 6 months for this and are too exhausted to go in the break in the final week.

Meanwhile jumbo riders are discussing which of their riders win the stage

And this is after losing Roglic and Kruijswijk.

 

[GroupDK]

What a comeback day from Jumbo.
