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

[Peyroteo94]

46 seconds. He doesn't have a chance

 

[noob]

Yates, Pidcock, Thomas -- all still very much in contention.

Because they are riding for second they have to spread themselves thinner. Every team has given the victory to Pog already. Not even Ineos going for GC obviously. Wout isn't a threat to anyone in GC.

 

[noob]

3 UAE out the back?

Yes Pog uses the other teams as his domestiques.

 

[KZD]

How will Pogacar be able to beat this year's Wout?

By being 13kg lighter

 

[Rollthedice]

Guys remember the first 70km of today's stage, what was Van Aert doing...
How can he still keep going...unbelievable

Good advertising for Red Bull, always supporting extreme sports.

 

[spalco]

That entirely depends on the outcome of the finish though.

It's an incredible performance either way, but the finish will determine if it was stupid or not. I still believe he can pull it off.

We'll know after the Plank of Beautiful Women if Wout is a GC contender. The Maillot Jaune seems to be giving him the proverbial power of two men.

Fastest predicted finish was in 50 minutes? Crazy stuff from Wout today...

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Just tuned in with about 20km to go, looks like Wout is having another good day on the bike. Don't know if the peloton can catch him, but, I like his shoes.

By being 13kg lighter

More like 13kg less muscles with which to generate watts.

Ewan is well useless

Ewan is well useless

Not like he had nasty crash yesterday

 

[Ripper]

Honestly, if the Tour was not the Tour it would be great for all of the teams to simply look at UAE to close this. They would gamble on losing one stage, but it would also take away pog's free ride on other teams wheels. Not gonna happen, but would be interesting.

I think he's just trying to keep his yellow as long as he can, before he has to be on domestic duty on the rest of the days.

 

[jarvo]

I think he loses his yellow today, will be spat out once they catch him

 

[johnymax]

Pidcock vs Pogačar for the win IMO

 

[RobertCrawley]

This is glorious.

 

[Davesta]

GC teams are burning through their guys chasing WvA here, but JV should have a full leadout - could this turn out to be a clever move, to help launch Rog-Vinge to victory?

 

[Phillip O'Garner]

Pogstomp coming here.

 

[KOM]

It just occured to me that by the way hes riding Wout basically found the only possible way to not win the stage and might lose yellow to boot lol

Exactly. That's what Hinault said and I very much agree. They are all knucleheads. All teams bar UAE that doesn't even have to do anything.

Crash...

 

[noob]

Roglic saved himself.

 

[Billie]

Another crash caused by Jumbo...

 

[Aimar16]

Jumbos are dangerous
