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

[Salvarani]

Assumption or fact?

Tongue in cheek

 

[ppanther92]

To be fair quintana has ridden on the cobbles a few tomes
now

Yes, its not a natural fit but he is always doing quite well.

 

[perico]

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.

Then get rid of the cobble stages. Everyone was going on about how Jumbo would dominate today, and now it’s a eye opener that unless you are Pogacar, it’s luck

 

[Didinho]

3 man with Roglic now

 

[dutchdescent]

MAH MAH MAH WOUT IS SELFISH

How bout best dom in the world?

That’be Laporte actually

 

[titan31]

You'd think Ineos would help for Thomas

 

[glassmoon]

JV 2 chasing groups lol
Also, when/how was GT dropped?

 

[skippo12]

Simultaneous JV team time trials. Can Kruijswijk catch WVA?

 

[Bonimenier]

You'd think Ineos would help for Thomas

Especially since Yates is also there

 

[Breezy1985]

Lol JV dropped by the one-man-team POGIMAN

P.O.G. Team Pogirates

 

[frisenfruitig]

Poor WVA, always having to tow these scrubs who can't take care of themselves. Look at Pogacar, he doesn't need anyone to hold his hand.

 

[ppanther92]

So only Pogacar, Vlasov, Quintana and Gaudu from the leaders still there.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I remember when he was at Adria Mobil in 2015, people used to say Roglic was the new Landa

Seems like it's not so distant from the truth

 

[dutchdescent]

Break will take it

 

[memyselfandI]

Nice day for Alpecin, as they show they really are not just MVDP team. Bora also at the business today.

 

[JosefK]

To make the TDF even more exciting, they need to have surprise road furniture pop up (like wack-a-mole) without warning. Also, a canine group to release stray dogs on the road. And a zombie spectator group organized with gigantic signs that are periodically lowered into the riders' paths.

 

[Bonimenier]

All 3 GC leaders of Ineos in the Group Vingegaard. Why are they not helping?

 

[Big Doopie]

C’mon powless. F$@k bettiol.

 

[Breezy1985]

GREAT day for Powless.. yellow maybe..

Eddie BH only 7s off yellow

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Damn. Unless a miracle happens, Roglic's Tour is done again. Last year on stage 3, this year on stage 5. Reminds me more and more of Contador...

 

[Volderke]

Rog is riding without a team. A bunch of b*stards.

Last time I checked Roglic had 3 team mates.

 

[Didinho]

Pogi too good hoho

 

[ppanther92]

So only Pogacar, Vlasov, Quintana and Gaudu from the leaders still there.

And Fuglsang if you consider him as one.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Pogi not happy with the pace of scrub domestiques from other teams around him.

 

[Salvarani]

Pog just having fun
