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

[roundabout]

4th likely to be +12-13 mins by the end. Last time that happened?

1999 had insane gaps

probably some other early Armstrong years too

Gaudu is the new Mona Mitterwalner.

It's just a shame Vingegaard looks so ugly on the bike

you really need to make some mental flips..if it's how their face looks going all out on Hautecam that is your compas...

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Aqua Pantani not even putting on the big ring at the end to show respect to the greatest. SAD!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Time was fast, not Riis fast but really really fast

 

[Savant12]

Another easy stage win for Vingo.

I've been thinking I wanted Pogacar to win this whole time, yet here I sit with tears in my eyes watching this win.

I guess I am a nationalistic sucker after all.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Vingo really, really wanted that polka dot jersey I guess.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Great win. Great champion.

 

[Lorzenz08]

Pogacar really destroyed himself with this fall.
But even then I think he wouldn't have taken more than 30-40 seconds on Vingegaard.

 

[Eclipse]

Still slightly better than Dawg, but yeah his riding style is anything but attractive

Less awkward but at least the dawg looked like he just rode uniquely due to his frame.

JV is just a vulgar display of power.

It is an important metric imo.

 

[ontheroad]

Get ready to party like its 1999!

Perhaps you are just Vingoistic?

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

WVA happy that he isn't second again. Celebrating third and important points for the Green jersey. You love to see it!

 

[ppanther92]

Gaudu is the new Mona Mitterwalner.

Wait, what?

 

[Volderke]

WvA could have easily won the polka dots in any other team.

 

[GroupDK]

we finally saw Jonas going all out... what a display of power, and what a display of integrity waiting for Pogacar after he chanced it so hard to get Jonas to crash on downhill and Jonas almost did crash while Pogacar clearly trying to profit from it and fair enough..
what a champ, well done Jonas Vingegaard.

 

[fbjim]

absolute fair play to Vingegaard for attacking, i was prepared to be mad at a rider winning a tour showing zero weakness on any stage and following wheels most of the time but attacking the final MTF in the yellow jersey is big style points

 

[RobertCrawley]

That's a beautiful part of the world. I'll need to get there someday.

 

[postmanhat]

Congrats to Vingo. Very likeable rider. And pleased for all the Danes on here. What an unexpectedly fantastic tour this has been.

 

[madthebad]

After watching Van Aert today, I'm happy that Pogi didnt win this Tour. Asterisks incoming...

 

[SafeBet]

THOSE GAPS

 

[roundabout]

People who did the last climb within 2 minutes of Vingegaard

Pogacar

and that's it

 

[burning]

WVA hangs on to 3rd, does he win KOM? LMAO
