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

[Rollthedice]

Wright said Fred, maybe today.

 

[Potomac]

Stage almost over we have 6 pages of comments. That's so few, I might read them. Or pull a Sandisfan and like every single one of them.

I was silent because I thought this stage would be snooze fest so I went on a riverside bike ride early this AM to beat today heat. It was still miserable.

I'm with you. I mean, it's interesting that in some tennis matches the loser of the match actually wins more points, but the point system in tennis doesn't map comfortably with Sagan always finishing near the top in intermediate and finale sprints when he won the green shirt.

I wholly agree. I am a big tennis fan. The goal in tennis isn't to maximize points but to win sets.

Now, winning points is correlated with winning sets, but maximizing points doesn't necessarily maximize your odds of winning sets.

There used to be six or seven boring stages like this one.

This is not boring.

 

[Oliver]

Nice trio gone

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Total Energies want to justify Sagan's salary today.

 

[RobertCrawley]

This is not boring.

But there are no crashes, no car chases, no explosions, no space lasers. How am I to be entertained?

 

[Sciatic]

Danes captured that castle?

 

[RobertCrawley]

Danes captured that castle?

Was that a castle or a keep?

 

[RedheadDane]

Danes captured that castle?

Danes own that castle. Well, the newer one they focused on afterwards
Chateau de Cayx is the Queen of Denmark's.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Danes captured that castle?

"Conquered" in 1974 by the royal Danish family.

As opposed to yesterday's movie, which had all of the above and then some, this one has no predictable end.

Danes captured that castle?

Charlemagne spinning in his grave

Isn’t it enough that you’ve owned the tour? You need the French’s castles too…

Watch Gougeard, Stuyven and Wright for now.

 

[BR2]

my that moto two meters in front of the peloton...

Spoiler

It's all part of a long-term plan to invade France.

Parvenus...

It's mostly known for making the worst wine in the region, so we're not really bragging about it that much.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Wow, this stage is almost over.

Thanks for the head’s up

 

[Danskebjerge]

Quite remarkable how few big crashes we have seen this year. I regard it as a result of the route design. There are other possible causes.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

This is not gonna be easy for the peloton.

Ok, maybe it is.

Knock on wood.
