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

If this all does come back together today then WVA may end up losing the yellow jersey today, so that is another reason for the peloton to stay motivated.

Ok, if they are splitting duties, do it if you must. But UAE has not been in the front AT ALL in the last 50km. That's ridiculous.

Or he just let go after the intermediate sprint, back to the peloton and wins the stage

Yup, bit annoying. At least make them ride somewhat and then take it up.

UAE probably don't consider Van Aert or Fuglsang threats to GC. I imagine they're also not too interested in the stage.

There are 18 other teams not represented in the breakaway, and quite a few of them have a greater incentive than UAE to chase.

Laporte vs. Jakobsen for 4th in the intermediate sprint...

 

[johnymax]

I don't know why anyone, even UAE should worry about this? Why should anyone? None of the breakaways are a real GC threat in the long run. Just let them go and have a chill day in the sun lol.

No GC teams should even have to worry about this.

Also agree with what Hinault just said that everyone should go against Pog.

If Fuglsang gets 10+ minutes advantage, he becomes a GC threat IMO.

Sagan seems to giving up on his green jersey aspirations.

 

[Gargamel35]

They are under control and losing time.

 

[JosefK]

Break knows the jig is up.

He just had a bike change and I don’t know whether he had time to make back to the front.

got mechanical in bad moment... there was no chance to get to the front in time

 

[Peyroteo94]

Rabofail again. If yesterday wasn't enough, today they show why they are a clueless team sometimes. Pogi is really in their heads

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Conspiracy against Fuglsang again

 

[Potomac]

Chimay, Orval....stop it!! I'm thirsty

 

[Bonimenier]

I guess the break is done

He didn't seem to be highly motivated to hook back on the peloton after the mechanical, but maybe he's saving energy for the stage win if the race comes together. The final few kilometers are good for him.

No, they're not. Before 2020, yes, not now.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Pogacar will be happy to see he got other teams to help him out when his own team sht.

 

[RobertCrawley]

No, they're not. Before 2020, yes, not now.

I don't know. He looked in pretty good form until the crash.

 

[AlfaLum]

Wout should stop riding to save energy for Vingegaard later this tour.

 

[Gargamel35]

He gets away with anything.

 

[spalco]

Wout should stop riding to save energy for Vingegaard later this tour.

Maybe. But he can still win this stage I think. 2 minutes gap with 60km to go is probably fairly close to the best case scenario when he went off.

 

[RobertCrawley]

WVA is not giving up.

 

[titan31]

If he gave up, I'd still give him a shot in the sprint
