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

I thought the post I replied to had aged well...we must interpret it differently

I was talking about your post about how it wouldn't work.

The Thibaut Pinot hug of the day goes to every sprinter in the peloton.

So now that Stage 19 is over, who has the most pressure on Stage 21? QuickStep (Jakobsen), Lotto (Ewan), TotalEnergies (Sagan), someone else?

Definitely JV with van Aert. It's going to be a make or break stage for them.

 

[Lequack]

The only question is, because they were saving Wout, by how many minutes will Wout win tomorrow in the TT? Cause he is going to, there is no doubt about it.

How exactly do you define a Thibaut Pinot hug? A hug you get by crashing into the arms of someone.

It's going to be a Filippo Ganna kind of day tomorrow.

Pog is going to win, van Aert 2nd. Vingegaard loses 3:23 so we can argue about whether he lost the Tour today or because of van Aert's selfishness in week 1.

It's a hug from a bony climber. I've heard everyone loves those...

Congratulation to Christophe Laporte for winning the stage.

Considering his performance this year fully deserved. French people are likely happy too.

As per usual in this race, Ewan found himself in a hopeless position.

Before the Tour started Jens Voigt claimed he'd not get a single top 3 result because they didn't take his usual leadout to the Tour. Looks like he'll be right.

BEX got that stage wrong - That was a finish for Matthews.

Lotto admitting it was wrong to chase the first breakaway so hard.

I was being critical of BEX who have won two stages now with a few seconds as well but Lotto 's race has been abysmal.

 

[postmanhat]

As per usual in this race, Ewan found himself in a hopeless position.

I think there's a 90% chance he'll somehow get himself boxed in on one of the widest roads in Europe on Sunday.

 

[Laverna]

It would be hilarious if Pog could somehow win the Tour by less than 5 seconds. Laporte would be sent to Gitmo in a heartbeat

 

[Lequack]

Someone has to photoshop that pic with Wout and Dumoulin looking shocked, but instead it's all the other teams.

Perhaps you have to bleat loudly during the embrace?

Lotto keeps finding ways............

As long as you don't have to ride full smash into a feed bag.

Lotto's season performance reminds me of German soccer team Schalke 04 in the 2020/2021 Bundesliga season.

Guess what, they relegated.

Speaking of which, what was the point of bringing Gilbert to the Tour (was thinking this as he was dropped by the peloton on the run-in)? Did he really want to do it one last time and request to be included?

To be fair he did lead the peloton together with Van Keirsbulck for a long time so not surprising he got dropped.

The organizers thought the Danish influence on this year's Tour has been bigger than they wanted it to be, so they cut away from prince Joachim at the podium.

Story of his life.

Pogacar gonna feel a bit lonely behind the podium, among the Jumbo boys.
