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

[Mosul]

Guys, everyone is discount the former GC winner Geraint, who will stop todays climb.

Why does he want to stop the climb?

stomp, maybe?

 

[JosefK]

Pogi is working up a good rage overnight. Not enough respect by the fans and cycling world for what he's done. He's had to buy new shoes, an extra size larger with titanium reinforcement, to withstand the stomp he will apply on the Super PDBF.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Pog jumps. Only JV can go with him. The cross with close times, 20 seconds in front of other GC favorites.

 

[Savant12]

Pog will win

His effort is a 3 Dumoulin/WVA memes cause just one won't be enough.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Geraint Thomas to win the stage, just to get Libertine Seguros to love that climb even more.

If that’s the objective you should be rooting for Sepp Kuss to win!

 

[Pantani_lives]

Il Lombardia former winner? His name begins with a P? His likes animals whose name begin with a G?

Yes, Pogacar likes giraffes.

 

[Vesica]

Pogi ftw. After crossing the line, he will create a CN forum account and post the JV meme himself.

Who's to say he hadn't already have?

The only chance Pogacar doesn't win is if the break makes it. Simple as that. The break probably makes it, though, unless Jumbo and/or Movistar pulls in the peloton.

Tadej's girlfriend and family is there for the stage finish, so I guess if the break isn't too strong, he'll ask the team to go for it.

I wonder if there will still be anyone within 1 minute of Pogacar after today. Probably not

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Maybe the pros are just as bored of going up Planche des Belles Filles every other week.

normally this "climb in your seat" kind of racing suites Thomas very well. If it stays together until the gravel part, I'd think he'll be close today

That is awesome. Prime Sagan.

Prime Sagan... Miss that guy. Would have loved to see what he could have done vs WVA and MVDP

 

[Velolover2]

The safe bet:

1. Pog
2. Vingo
3. Vlasov

 

[Lequack]

I am betting on Quintana.

 

[MrTea1976]

I feel like Ineos are testing out Pidcock for a GC contender here. I think they are also going to try to take 3 out of the top 5 places.

 

[ppanther92]

Sorry Schachmann but no.

Idk - do you think Rabo/Jumbo-fail is just bad luck? I don't, tbh.

I actually think there will be no or only minor gaps between the favourites. But you never know with Pogacar. Might as well go early on the climb.

 

[CyclistAbi]

There is much more good luck involved. People just tend to exaggerate and focus on negatives.

 

[dercuforever]

You all forget Pog already won yesterday.
Of course today he'll work for Rafal ...

Pinot to stay in the GC group, to help his leader as he helped Kung in the Dauphine, except this time he will attack in the last 500m and Pog will let him win to avoid getting attacked by French Fans for the following 10 years.
