Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 20 (Lacapelle-Marival – Rocamadour, 40.7k/ITT)

[Warhawk]

Right as I open my mouth.

Meintjes falls to eighth. It was written. Even more incredible: it means Bardet has gained a GC position in a TT.

That's not in the script!

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

But quite stupid actually - risking it all in that one corner and once Pogi is in, soft pedalling. Why?

To avoid crashing. It’s pretty obvious.

 

[KZD]

Well Pogačar manages to beat Thomas in the end. I think Vingegård almost let Van Aert win the TT in the last climb lol

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Both Wout and Vingo very emotional at the finish line, it's actually kinda nice to see.

 

[sir fly]

I suppose that removes all doubt.
...and leaves plenty to look forward to.

A nice climax.

Probably some impulsive behaviours from him. Sometimes happens

 

[Devil's Elbow]

25:43 from first to tenth on GC.

 

[SarahtheDane]

Wout crying for his stage win, or for Jonas?

 

[75Driver]

Not sure if JV sat up enough to give WVA the win or if JV had gone hard all the way he would have won. Kinda close

25:43 from first to tenth on GC.

Crazy

 

[Warhawk]

Wout crying for his stage win, or for Jonas?

Crying because there are no more worlds to conquer.

 

[Stelvio]

Wout crying for his stage win, or for Jonas?

I'm guessing the ghost of 2020 also playing a part.

 

[super_domestique]

Vinegood performance from Jonas.

 

[tobydawq]

Wout crying for his stage win, or for Jonas?

What do you think? He has won plenty of stages in his time...

 

[RobertCrawley]

Van Aert looking selfish in the inset

Never gets old.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Crazy

Biggest spread since 1997.

After the near crash, no more taking chances.

 

[super_domestique]

Crying because there are no more worlds to conquer.

Steady on, it's a stage in a bike race.

 

[SarahtheDane]

To avoid crashing. It’s pretty obvious.

True, he does have a history of uphill crashes

 

[SHAD0W93]

But quite stupid actually - risking it all in that one corner and once Pogi is in, soft pedalling. Why?

Probably in case Pogacar beats WVA so the team still wins.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Crying because there are no more worlds to conquer.

RVV World
P-R World
and the World RR World

 

[bob.a.feet]

Selfish Wout crying because now Jonas is going to get more attention than him?

 

[RobertCrawley]

I honestly think thats the best Thomas ever. So good for him that he used his chance before Vingegaard and Pogacar raised to the top.

I agree. He did everything perfectly. Unlike previous years, not a single crash. He's a seasoned Tour veteran who knows exactly what to do to give himself the best chance to win. But, the other two guys were just better.

 

[GroupDK]

spectacular tour de France, and the right winner.
out classified the champ Pogacar 3 times in this Tour..

Biggest spread since 1997.

[Ilmaestro99]

Maybe he's crying because he is still a Belgian Pozzato
