Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 19 (Castelnau-Magnoac – Cahors, 188.3k)

[RedheadDane]

probably a CN joke I've missed, but he's had one on every day?

Danish commentators mentioned yesterday, that whenever Van Aert wore a skinsuit, he's been on the attack. They mentioned how he hadn't worn one on stage 17.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Brutally strong break but only 5 guys in it and it will be kept on a tight leash. Sprint is the most likely outcome - but the break shouldn't be underestimated.

 

[RedheadDane]

Okay, I have a lot of understanding for the climate protestors (assuming it's them again), but this way they're only annoying people.

 

[sir fly]

A tactical "protest" would be a novelty, wouldn't it?

 

[Stelvio]

Wiggins has been to the pub this morning…

 

[RedheadDane]

They - the break at least - are off again.

So... what would happen in a situation like this if a rider from the break regretted? I suppose the organisers couldn't prevent him from just waiting for the peloton.

Agreed. I would probably spend all the money and energy on something in Paris, commercials the camera's can't avoid, with the amount of CO2 poluted instead of km ridden on the bike.

I think the French will now pollute even more just out of anger.

 

[Tim Cahill]

"Mohoric went too deep in the Tour of Slovenia"

Carlton surely trolling

Yup, they're annoying as hell. I get why and the need to do so but go protest outside government buildings and let the rest of us alone.

 

[sir fly]

Claiming it was Pogačar's miscalculated fueling and the crash that brought Vingegaard the jersey is unfair.
The Dane is exceptional this year.

 

[RobertCrawley]

First proto - break

Q is single-handedly trying to make American racing great again.

 

[Samamba]

Well sprinter teams really don't trust that break.
Simply not enough sprinter chances this Tour so they won't take any risks.

Isnt it a risk in itself to bring a break back with 130 to go though? It cost energy and the jumping should start again... some minor hills coming up aswell

 

[silvergrenade]

This doesnt make sense tbh

 

[Tim Cahill]

What are they doing.

unfortunately catastrophic climate change is going to be a lot more inconvenient

Yes, but have they considered protesting in a way that affects those that actually have a major part in causing it?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

What are they doing.

trying to let a less appallingly strong break go instead

 

[sir fly]

They've gotten rid of Politt...

 

[KOM]

Ok only thing I can imagine is Honoré playing decoy so theres a 100% chance for a sprint

 

[RedheadDane]

Barthe realising two major things missing from the break:
A French rider.
A B&B rider.

Mohoric finally on the move

Sure, I agree, but what's inconveniencing the Tour going to do, or holding up people in traffic, or trying to get themselves run over in a F1 race.

The only people who can do something are those in charge and the very rich who run the major companies.

Me, you, Matej Mohoric etc can do feck all. Even changing our own habits a bit by buying more sustainable clothes (I do this anyway), using more public instead of private transport is like an ant trying to push over mountains, it ain't going to matter one bit.
