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

[Poursuivant]

Break have a big chance still

 

[RobertCrawley]

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.

There are a lot of repeating, irritating commercials. But I am old enough to remember when all we got was a 10 minute Saturday update by Curt Gowdy on ABC's Wide World of Sports, and maybe a little update in the NY Times. So I'm happy with so much coverage these days.

 

[Bonimenier]

Ganna, Kung and van Aert leading the peloton. Is this a TT?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Don't think the breakaway is completely out of this yet. If Pogacar isn't willing to go early, that is.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Ineos is hardening this climb. They are going to test Tad.

may as well try something, otherwise its a procession behind pog

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Yeah, as expected Ineos and Co are nuking the run in to keep their guys at the front. Break is doomed.

 

[glassmoon]

was that Dawg dropping alongside Sagan?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Pog looks like he could light up a cigar anytime.

Pugito?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Are Ineos preparing to try and skytrain the **** out of Pogacar?

A bold move, some might say absurdly foolish but at least they're having a crack

 

[Leinster]

check the thread about cycling on tv in the USA

I’m having trouble finding it. How far back is it?

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Pogacar not well positioned atm

Love it!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Surely the better move for Ineos would be to save energy and limit losses today then try to send people on the attack in the Alps?

Cycling on USA TV

Free coverage is pretty dire. For $20 you get most of the big spring races with NBC's "Gold" package. Which of course expires with the start of the TdF. https://www.nbcsports.com/gold/cycling?utm_tags=goldcyc1066 Paris-Nice Volta a Catalunya Paris-Roubaix La Fleche Wallonne...

Best chance of Pogacar being beaten is an uninjured Vlasov on such a climb.

 

[Salvarani]

Ineos probably just trying to be best of the rest. Wonder who will be the one they bet on. All of their GC guys still in a decent position.

Maybe they want to get rid of Roglic for good and put stress on some other opposition.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Showdown time. Always an exciting moment of any Tour De France.

 

[skippo12]

Ineons train wins the sprint to the bottom of the climb. At least some kind of success.

 

[Leinster]

Break have a big chance still

1:40 is going to get swallowed up quickly, especially with Ineos getting into the chase now. Best Bora can hope for now is Schachmann or Kamna being of help to Vlasov.

And now Kamna’s on the attack.

 

[titan31]

Pogacar has this stage easy unless Kamna is on insane form here.

You'd think but who knows.

The Peacock stream with Ant McCrossen and Nico Roche doing the commentary has no commercials.
