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

[Volderke]

Cort with a move. It would be funny if this is, again, the right move!

 

[tobydawq]

Cort attacked now, so this is the one that will stick.

 

[titan31]

Clearly WVA was just annoyed that Cort wasn't in the break so wanted to bring it back for him

 

[AlfaLum]

Laporte looks so strong.

 

[RedheadDane]

Well, that not-attacking thing for Cort didn't last long...

Yep, they've had a deal done this whole time

 

[Danskebjerge]

I couldn't recognize Tour de France today. But then Cort attacked, and everything is back to normal.

 

[spalco]

It's amazing how great some breakaway riders' instincts are to jump on the right attack day after day. It's a question of form too I'm sure, but still impressive.

 

[Red Rick]

Not sure what Van Aert was trying to achieve. A super fast flat day today is gonna hurt Vingegaard more than Pogacar before tomorrow

 

[SarahtheDane]

Cort is going for the red in Paris I think.

 

[tobydawq]

Can the Danes beat Laporte?

 

[Red Rick]

Once again it's the longest stage that delivers from the get go.

Hilly finish and tailwind is the real reason but be my guest

 

[AlfaLum]

Laporte looks so strong.

Bit poor that he isnt allowed to cooperate though.

They don't think that many steps ahead. One step at a time.

I'm guessing it was to get Laporte in the break and then Jumbo can sit in the peleton and do no work for the day, and Laporte can win the stage by doing nothing in the break.

 

[Velolover2]

Vlasov is really in the break? Maybe PCS got their stats wrong.

As someone living in the flats, I'm inclined (pun intended) to say this stage isn't flat at all

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

And here we go again.

Visiting Belgium always provides entertainment.

 

[Eeslliw]

If you watch the race on France TV website, you can choose which of the five camera motos you want to follow. It's great if the producers are showing the break and you want to see what's going on in the peloton.

It is, however, in French.

Can you watch prevoius stages in replay and choose different TV-motos?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Looks like Wout really wants to win this stage. Like REALLY wants to win...

What an opening.

 

[spalco]

And here we go again.

Maybe they just figured out they missed Vlasov.

eta: no, apparently PCS was mistaken.

Their plan should be an easy stage for Roglic to recover..

 

[spalco]

Pedersen or Laporte could conceivably gain the yellow jersey if the break makes it (which right now doesn't look likely).

 

[johnymax]

This is the kind of racing where Mohorič usually comes up on top in the end. Just saying...
