Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 5 (Lille Métropole – Arenberg Porte du Hainaut, 157k)

[Zinoviev Letter]

i can’t even think what excuse bettiol could have for this

 

[Salvarani]

Wtf is Bettiol doing?

Wants to win the stage?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Lol Bettiol was bought by Pogacar .

A guy like him on a seven figute salary would be a great deal for UAE, just saying...

 

[Billie]

Thomas also with Vingegaard

 

[Scarponi]

Suddenly the whole forum hates the idea of cobble stages

I love it, Pogacar was going to win by minutes anyway. At least tonight was fun

 

[Ricco']

Pogacar to win the 5 monuments confirmed.

 

[ontheroad]

Pog is a machine.

 

[Bonimenier]

GT also in group Vingegaard

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I cannot believe this guy is going to lose the Tour again because there was a hay bail in the road. Disgusting

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Damn. This is good racing but terrible as it stands for the rest of the race. Pogacar is a killer, as we know. Roglic was riding great and really smart and then a dumb accident in front of him takes him out. What a bummer.

 

[dutchdescent]

Lol JV dropped by the one-man-team POGIMAN

 

[Phillip O'Garner]

Bettiol?

 

[Red Rick]

Pogacar attack. He is just the best. No way around.

He dropped nobody

 

[glassmoon]

Why was that bale way out in the road??

wind or spectator

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Why is Paret-Peintre sitting on the Junbo train and not down helping O’Connor??

 

[meat puppet]

Positioning is a skill and Pog without any team is doing it better than JVs leaders.

Indeed. And it sure helps when you are physiologically untouchable. More than one way Pog has the aura of someone who might or might not have been (historians debate this) a key TDF contestant in the early 2000s.

 

[noob]

Vingegaard and Thomas in the same group with Van Aert. But where is Roglic

 

[KZD]

Roglic is behind Vingegaard or not?

Yes he is behind the cars

Classy to see Pogačar in the front of the group. Vlasov quietly moving up the ranks too.

 

[ppanther92]

Pogacar is just spectacular. You have to aknowledge that. Riding with Bettiol, Politt, and Küng over serious PR cobbles.

 

[Breezy1985]

What a f*cking joke of a stage. Why not make the riders race on tightrope and give the jersey to the last rider to fall off

The TdF was invented on these roads. These roads are more pure Tour than Planche, Tourmalet and the rest

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Bettiol must've been promised a whole oasis somewhere in the Emirates. Prime Cancellara performance for his leader Andy Schleck Pogacar.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Ugh, where is Roglic?

 

[perico]

Thomas was dropped too

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Where is Roglic and why did none of his teammates wait for him?

 

[ice&fire]

Easier TDF win for Pogi than last year. He can mail it in, now.

And take a rest before the Vuelta
