Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 6 (Binche – Longwy, 219.9k)

I just can't believe the unlimited energy this guy Wout has. Amazing rider.

 

[johnymax]

I guess they are back? Because UAE is leading the peloton.

Nope. They are still behind.

 

[spalco]

ineos and bora can't afford to lose the bluff game with uae...make them work all day, no help.

I agree, they have to gamble here, even if Hirschi and Bennett get back.

 

[KZD]

Ineos and Bora can't sleep on Fuglsang here.

As for Van Aert, his recovery ability and overall power continues to impress

 

[roundabout]

Is Bettiol feeling well again today?

 

[Potomac]

What is Pidcock's native language? Not English.

 

[Stringer Bell]

This stage is over. They ain’t bringing these three back

 

[Peyroteo94]

I guess they are back? Because UAE is leading the peloton.

They are in the group at 5 minutes

 

[Potomac]

This stage is over. They ain’t bringing these three back

You might be right but I would think more teams would be interested in contesting the stage.

 

[Velolover2]

I predicted the Giro 2020 early on so I'd make another random statement.

Wout Van Aert will win this Tour.

 

[Miha81]

WTF? WVA is an absolute animal. After all the workload and fall yesterday he pulls something like this today.

 

[spalco]

You might be right but I would think more teams would be interested in contesting the stage.

They can be interested in whatever they want, but the trio (or maybe duo if they drop Simmons) is gone for good.

 

[Earns1985]

What can make the tour still intersting is, that Pogacars team is really weak. Bennett and Hirschi dropping with Walscheid and other injured riders means that they will probably not offer a lot of help. Then you have Bjerg and Laengen, who will have problems as soon as the route starts to rise. So for the mountains Majka, Soler and McNulty are left for Pogacar...

 

[Stringer Bell]

You might be right but I would think more teams would be interested in contesting the stage.

Those interested in contesting the stage win are not strong enough to pull three minutes back on this monster - the teams that possibly could chase prob not interested in stage win and will be happy to peg the gap and not lose too much time

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

umm what? alpecin? are they just making harder for bennett etc? to get back

 

[noob]

So Jumbo is thinking that if Wout attacks they won't need to run the peleton and then Roglic and Jonas can rest? I doubt it.

 

[Samamba]

So Alpecin can't ride when Philipsen has an actual chance at winning (yesterday) but they ride now? I mean I'm assuming VdP is still bad as he dropped earlier today.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Come on Fulgsang! Finally you are free of the wheelsuckers and the vaccinations and the wrong fish oil supplements. We can win this!

 

[Samamba]

UAE waiting on Bennett/Hirshi before they actually start chasing?

 

[HelloDolly]

Why is Bennett not working with Hirschi ????

 

[glassmoon]

Alpecin paid by UAE?
Also, how got the did 3rd group dropped? (couldn't watch till now)

 

[HelloDolly]

I wonder what Jakob will complain about later ??

 

[Peyroteo94]

Jumbo wants Roglic and Jonas to rest so whar they do? They put WVA on the attack all day to mantain a hard tempo that will eventually help Pogi to destroy them on the second last climb.

 

[roundabout]

Alpecin paid by UAE?

wouldn't they have waited until at least Bennett was back like their paymasters were doing?

I just can't believe the unlimited energy this guy Wout has. Amazing rider.

He took a rest day yesterday. Didn't even make the top 2.
