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

[MrTea1976]

I want to see Froome in the break today.

 

[noob]

Okay, who sabotaged all the UAE bikes this morning?

lol

They had to send 4 to tackle van Aert. That says WVA a lot.

I get the feeling no one tells WVA what to do

 

[frisenfruitig]

Ahah, the spin is already there Ignorance is a bliss.

I hope Roglic either leaves the Tour or goes down with a banger and rides for himself like the champion he is and not for some anonymous Dane. All the sick Jumbo tactics should put to the wall.

But god forbid WVA ride for himself, the selfishness!

God can't forbid van Aert anything.

C*zzo di Bici!!!!!!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Just saw that slightly strange interview by Piddler on WVA, good ride by him yesterday but it came off with the faux brashness of a young man trying a bit too hard to impress.

Then again he is from Leeds, he could learn a bit about the subtleties of deadpan northern working class humour from Hugh Carthy, a Lancastrian, a man of real culture.

 

[Didinho]

Why is Bettiol not working?

 

[CyclistAbi]

Schachmann trying to get away from Rogla for as far as possible. But i feel that they will be caught eventually. And he will need to let them pass.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Brutal speed and still Ganna just rides past everyone like they're on a Sunday ride.

 

[hayneplane]

Only 3 are a threat to GC though, they could care less about Pidcock. It would need Roglic and one of the 3 Ineos contenders with a teammate or two. Get Konrad in there as well so Bora don’t chase. All of that together to stress out UAE and crack them.

He has Under 23 climbing pedigree winning on the Mortirolo en route to overall victory in the baby giro. Not shown anything as an elite in stage races but I would be wary of giving him too much rope.

 

[shalgo]

All of the hay bales in that land art must have been triggering for Roglic.

 

[noob]

What happened with Ganna? :O Called back?

 

[johnymax]

Imagine how happy Geschke must have been to see Ganna bridge to him. Probably the best case scenario for him. A big engine to help push on the flat and a worse climber than him, so he can drop him on the climbs.

Edit:
Ah, called back. Understandably, it didn't make sense for Ganna to be in the break.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Ganna saying to Geschke don't be crazy. I am not van Aert.

 

[noob]

This is a good break. Now they start peeing instead.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Dream break for Bora.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Dream break for Bora.

Classic Kämna/Schachmann set up.

 

[johnymax]

Strong break

 

[Tim Cahill]

Bettiol on the front mowing the break down in comical fashion

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

I wonder if VdP is going to finish today, it just doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to hang in there any more.

 

[skippo12]

Politt and Haller slowing the peleton down. I think that´s it.

 

[hayneplane]

Kamna/Ciccone the clear favourites if the break goes the distance

 

[OJRvE]

What was Biseeger doing? Pulling the peloton to catch Cort and then stop.

 

[Earns1985]

Schachmann tomorrow in yellow?
