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

[Ricco']

A deja vu climb like "La Super Planche" deserves a Teuns vs. Ciccone battle like it's 2019.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

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

Just an average day at the office for EF. Good thing they aren't dependent on good results to keep their WT license or anything.

 

[RedheadDane]

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

He just wanted to be able to talk to Cort in the peloton.

A deja vu climb like "La Super Planche" deserves a Teuns vs. Ciccone battle like it's 2019.

More likely a throwback to the Pas de Peyrol stage in 2020. With Kämna and Schachmann finishing 2nd/3rd. Whot beats them today?

 

[Bolder]

I'm hoping it's Ciccone today.

 

[staubsauger]

Maybe it's a brilliant marketing stunt by EF. Because later on they will reveal that all those tactical errors are because their riders don't speak the same language and cannot understand each other. Hence why Education comes First to corresponde properly with each other in this global world.

 

[shalgo]

WVA and MVDP chatting near the back of the peloton.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Teuns vs Ciccone rematch on the super-duper donkey Planche, I like it!

 

[Stringer Bell]

Looks like UAE are gonna chase this

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

I really want to see the break working well together and no-one in the peleton to help UAE. Let them bleed, I like Pogi but I'm sick of these "Whole family is there, girlfried at the finishing line, he really wants to win here" nonsense feel good stories.

 

[perico]

UAE is such a joke of a team. How in their amateruishness did they land Pogacar?

One night last fall, Gianetti and the UAE brass decided Pogacar needed a BFF.

Someone who could take the young champion under his wing, teach him to remain humble despite his success, and to help him learn how to be a model teammate.

Later, Mauro called Matxin and told him that he had just found the perfect loyal teammate for Pogi and signed him immediately. Curious, Matxin asked,”who is this perfect mentor for our young champion?”

”Marc Soler,” he replied with a proud smile.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Half this break won't work. Who wants to spend energy so Ciccone and Kämna can fight for the stage win?

I haven't paid much attention to the pictures in the last minutes but the commentary on German Eurosport was claiming that the group is in fact not working together properly but rather attacked each other some times.

 

[MartinGT]

Seriously what is the point of this John the co-commentator who comes on every now and then?

 

[CyclistAbi]

Pogi will literary need to be in the lets say top 3 position in the peloton for the reminder of the Tour? As on any terrain and on any opportunity the other teams will jump him?

 

[Extinction]

Maybe it's a brilliant marketing stunt by EF. Because later on they will reveal that all those tactical errors are because their riders don't speak the same language and cannot understand each other. Hence why Education comes First to corresponde properly with each other in this global world.

They should be teaching different languages within the team!

 

[ppanther92]

If I was UAE, I would just give Yellow to Bora/Teuns.

 

[johnymax]

Another very hard fought stage it looks like. It's full gas now for the break and the chasing peloton it seems till the finish. Still 100km left.

 

[Earns1985]

If I was UAE, I would just give Yellow to Bora/Teuns.

If UAE for Pogacar will bring this break back, I will start hating him..

 

[F_Cance]

UAE really getting too greedy

 

[Big Doopie]

Pog to try to crush all resistance on the first MTF.

A tactic that has had much success in the past.

Other teams then start fighting each other for the scraps and UAE finds themselves with a bunch of “friends” for the rest of the race.

 

[Filippo_3467]

Pogacar is so annoying. Just let the break and yellow go for a few days, so that we see at least some good racing.

 

[skippo12]

Cannibal 2.0 wants the stage win and the jersey. No gifts.

 

[HelloDolly]

Pogacar wants to show em all

Love if someone could beat him so we can have a race

 

[Netserk]

Greed is good. Good for the race that Pogi wants to win.
