Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 4 (Dunkerque – Calais, 171.5k)

[Ricco']

Smart thinking from Wout, unless you're Pozzovivo you can't be second from a one man group.

 

[ppanther92]

Hahaha what a climb, Pog and VDp were asleep ? this certainly woke them up.

Pogi was really badly placed. Over the top he overtook Vlasov, Roglic and Thomas. But came from behind.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Lovely seaside to the left, utter madness on the road on the right...

 

[jarvo]

Not sure was Roglic dropped dropped or was he sat behind the Ineos guys who got dropped and he just sat there

Roglic was dropped dropped

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

ridiculous

 

[Boes]

Should he have waited for Vingegaard? Poggy could have lost 20-30 seconds if the 2 of them took turns, but perhaps if he waited he would have been caught already

I'm pretty sure I've seen Pozzovivo win from a one man group.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Jumbo went too hard there, difficult to solo home.

Or maybe not. No chase yet and motor much closer to Van Aert than the group behind.

 

[ppanther92]

Sagan surprisingly well over the climb,

 

[Rollthedice]

Maybe Van Aert is going for the yellow and Roglic for the green?

 

[Netserk]

Why on earth would he not let Yates and Vingegaard join him?

 

[spalco]

I love the yellow jersey charging away from the front of the peloton, even if it doesn't lead anywhere. It's just the way it's supposed to be.

 

[T-Nielsen]

Tell me again how WvA is going to be a loyal domestic.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Perfect move with jumbo but it will turn down as a terrible move because Pogacar now knows Roglic is not the same as previous years

 

[ppanther92]

Should he have waited for Vingegaard? Poggy could have lost 20-30 seconds if the 2 of them took turns, but perhaps if he waited he would have been caught already

Probably - same thought. But I guess the reasoning is - if I finish solo, I can't be 2nd again.

 

[woodburn]

lol, what a selfish rider

What should he have done? Wait for Jonas? They surely would have got caught.

 

[Eclipse]

Yes, they caught Pog out and several other GC riders but they burnt Rog and then he burnt Vingegaard. There was a move for time here.

 

[Salvarani]

Van Aert went almost too hard...

I think it Vingegaard was up there with Yates, GC teams are riding them down. UAE, Ineos or Bora aren't coming to chase down Wout so it's up to teams wanting to sprint only.

 

[ontheroad]

No organisation in the chase yet, this could be in the balance.

 

[skippo12]

Pogacar isolated? UAE exposed on the first hard paced CAT4 of the race.

 

[noob]

Wout rerun of his cyclocross season

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Wout making sure he doesn't come in second today.

 

[markene2]

Why on earth would he not let Yates and Vingegaard join him?

I think i saw he took his earpice out when he started pushing, maybe he just dosent care, seems like a one man show

Those noobs not even able to follow their bottle carrier for tomorrow ...
