Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 7 (Tomblaine – La Super Planche des Belles Filles, 176.3k)

Is Dawg still with the Group today?

I checked Le Tour website. Froomy is in the peloton.

 

[bob.a.feet]

I didn't know Movistar was in the race, but look...there's one in the break. Are there more in the peleton?

Apparently they brought 8 riders to the Tour, though I'm yet to see evidence.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

The gap will be under 2 min soon, the break doesn't have a chance imo.

Marc Hirschi, 2020 just seems so long ago

i know DSM gets rightly criticized, but if u delve deep into the story behind their reasons from dropping him, it may explain y he has never again been the same rider.

 

[Peyroteo94]

UAE is taking a lot of time. They need a minute at least

 

[Bonimenier]

Half of Alpecin dropping and van der Poel wasn't with them. Looks at least a bit better than yesterday.

 

[Big Doopie]

Pog looks like he’s on a Sunday coffee ride.

 

[frisenfruitig]

I checked Le Tour website. Froomy is in the peloton.

Earning more than other team leaders for being pack fodder, what a great gig he's got going

 

[Leinster]

Ha ha. Bobke trying to explain this thing he heard of called Strava.

How do I watch in the US without constant ad breaks? If I see another ad for Desperate Downton, I may go on a cycle-by killing spree to the Bravo studios.

Not looking good for the break now. There might be an opportunity for a non GC rider like Pinot, Woods, Storer to spring off the front without being marked. Ineos should also send a man off the front since they have the numbers on GC. UAE won't have many riders left on the last climb as they will mostly be burnt out by that stage and it will at least force Pog to chase it down.

Yes I did hear rumours about that,

For all the flack DSM get (often deserved), I do at least trust that some of their management structure are committed anti-dopers.

 

[Elos Anjos]

He is also guiding Benoot back to the front of the peloton. I quess some people were right, he is washed out. Only his salary is probably too high for the job he is doing (water boy).

Troll.

I don't know. I just turn the sound off when the commercials come on.

Anyone think Rogo will try anything?

 

[RobertCrawley]

Anyone think Rogo will try anything?

I hope so but he looked to be in a lot of pain earlier. He's a tough guy tho.

check the thread about cycling on tv in the USA

Anyone think Rogo will try anything?

Would like to think so but I don't think he is 100%.

 

[glassmoon]

Anyone think Rogo will try anything?

don't think so... he seems to be in pain. maybe some lame try just to fail like yesterday... but i think he'll be glad if he doesn't lose much

 

[Elos Anjos]

Anyone think Rogo will try anything?

He probably won't because he was interviewed in the morning and he confessed in his non chalant way that he is hurting a lot.

My take is that he will probably be dropped. Hope not.

Padun isn't even the most questionable Mark in the peloton.

Sky's team was a murderers row that season, I think this will be beaten if there is enough impetus but UAE might need a bit of help in the early slopes.

 

[perico]

all this talk about Movistar being invisible, they’ve ridden a good race and kept Mas out of trouble, and Verona is one of the most underrated domestiques in the peloton

 

[Leinster]

I don't know. I just turn the sound off when the commercials come on.

I mean, that’s an improvement for sure, but why should I not be able to just let it run? There’s just SO MANY ADS, with a short clip of bike race in between.
If they’re not serious about providing full coverage of the race, I wish they’d just get out of the way and let GCN do the streaming.

Pog looks like he could light up a cigar anytime.
