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

What's going on guys

As fantastic as that start was for Danes, its funny that the second we reach France, we just watch a completely different race.

Had stage 3 finished in Vejle rather than started in it (it's close enough to an airport) the different race would have started a stage sooner.

Jumbo OTLing Bennett and Hirschi would be pretty spectacular. Even better that Soler is joining in, worst teammate in history.

 

[Volderke]

What's the time limit on today's stage?

 

[HelloDolly]

Hirschi never been the rider he was at DSM

 

[Velolover2]

There's just no way certain teams are going to let Fuglsang go right? I know he isn't prime Fuglsang anymore but stil.

Wout in this kind of shape getting 2-3 minutes is more concerning IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if he is doing very well on Planche des Belles Filles.

 

[Potomac]

This has been very interesting so far.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Jumbo is clueless. Another rabofail in coming

 

[Volderke]

What's going on guys

A big fight for the break, with sometimes splits in the peloton, a very active WvA and now that same irresistible WvA has almost half a minute on the peloton, dragging Fuglsang and Simmons along.

It seems JV finally realised they can only win this Tour with WvA so he got unleashed.

I know deep down everybody knows how it'll end today.

With a Roglstomp!

Who's the stomper and who's the stompee though?

Hirschi never been the rider he was at DSM

He looked really good in TdS. Another case of COVID ruining the shape.

 

[spalco]

What's going on guys

Everything. Wout wants to win the Tour today.

 

[AlfaLum]

Trek working the whole day to be in the break. Pretty good situation the entire time. And now they have Simmons there who will get his ass kicked by Wout and probably also Fuglsang.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Wout in this kind of shape getting 2-3 minutes is more concerning IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if he is doing very well on Planche des Belles Filles.

Lots of ifs. Better wind direction at stage 2, finish in Vejle in stage 3, no rain in Copenhagen etc.. then we suddenly have a great Grand Depart from a sporting perspective.

 

[Peyroteo94]

I'm laughing hard. I really don't understand what jumbo is doing. Someone can explain to me? At least i'm very entertained

 

[JosefK]

Jumbo monotony train strangling the life out of this race. Oh, wait, ... not 2020 anymore?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This is the strangest breakaway I've ever seen in a GT.

 

[Velolover2]

Wout to get 3rd only 10 secs down on Vingo and Pog on Belles Filles.

 

[Volderke]

I'm laughing hard. I really don't what jumbo is doing. Someone can explain to me? At least i'm very entertained

winning the Tour with their best rider

 

[Velolover2]

UAE don't have many riders left to chase. Must be Ineos' job right now.

 

[Samamba]

I am so confused right now what is this break?? What is going to happen

 

[AlfaLum]

So this makes for a pretty interesting situation.

Because, how much space do you give a guy like Wout? And is it smart to allow Fuglsang to het minutes?

 

[Elos Anjos]

What the hell is WVA doing???

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Van Aert mechanical lol.

 

[Velolover2]

Wout doing an Andy.

Most dramatic stage I've watched in years.

 

[skippo12]

UAE don't have many riders left to chase. Must be Ineos' job right now.

Looks like both teams are happy with the situation. Doing their best to block the peleton.
