Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 8 (Dole – Lausanne, 186.3k)

[johnymax]

C'mon now. Jumbo got their stage win. Are we really complaining for 4 bonus seconds for Pogi? Those won't matter in the end...

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Oh F**k off Belgian Pozzato

 

[noob]

So JV lost 4 seconds to Pog. I guess they have already given up on their GC.

 

[JosefK]

Not a Jumbo fail. Got to be realistic. If Pog gets sick or crashes, Jumbo is in prime position to take advantage. Meanwhile, grab stages, make your Belgian Potato happy, and secure green.

 

[Rackham]

JV worked hard all day but in the end it was worth it. Pogacar managed to get a few seconds on Vingegaard so a small but clear succes....

... hold on a minute...

... who is riding for which team again?...

Some journalist needs to honestly show some guts & ask WvA that question in the post-race interview.

"Pog just increased his lead in GC, what's your thought on that?".

Ouch.

 

[movingtarget]

Matthews no match for WVA these days but points for trying. Sooner or later he has to get a win.

And if those 4 seconds do matter then we're complaining in hindsight surely

Jumbo is literally the only team I've ever seen riding for bonus seconds against their own GC leader.

But Van Aert at least delivers.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

He didn’t launch until 150 to go but he’s just not in the same league as WvA

Headwind and false flat uphill, then 150 is still on the early side. Him opening the sprint also helped create the space for Van Aert. Would still have been difficult but he was certainly fading in the final metres, almost getting caught by Pogacar too.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

C'mon now. Jumbo got their stage win. Are we really complaining for 4 bonus seconds for Pogi? Those won't matter in the end...

Not just that. If I'm Jumbo I'm happy to see Pog sprinting against WVA - more of that please

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

I like that climb and the finish, just needed a better medium mountain stage in the leadup. Boring stage like this.

 

[ice&fire]

Pog seemed to have an extra gear too but the Van Aert express closed his way to overtake Matthews.

 

[T-Nielsen]

C'mon now. Jumbo got their stage win. Are we really complaining for 4 bonus seconds for Pogi? Those won't matter in the end...

They don't matter until they matter and then it is to late to do anything about it.

 

[Bonimenier]

People really complaining that JV went for the stage and succeeded?

 

[KOM]

Jumbo Team absolutely furious with van Aert, Vingegaard in particular

 

[StryderHells]

Matthews no match for WVA these days but points for trying. Sooner or later he has to get a win.

BEX are having a good race, 1 stage win and 2 second places.

Ouch.

Explain to me how Wout losing the bunch sprint helps Vigo?

 

[ppanther92]

What was Sagans largest Green Jersey gap? WvA totally dominating this competition.

 

[JosefK]

Not sure Vingo could have done anything about Pog grabbing bonus seconds. Need stomping legs for that.

That was to be expected, though.

 

[Netserk]

Great result for Jumbo, definitely worth the chase. Another stage win in the bank, and they only 'gave away' 4 bonus seconds to Pogi.

Van Aert now leads the points competition with 115 points, and the sooner he builds an invincible gap there, the more freedom he will have in breaks. It's probably already at the point where QS will no longer chase him down.

Ouch.

Ok but what is WvA supposed to do about this today? Not sprint? Then Pogacar gets 2nd.

 

[skippo12]

Pog wa

C'mon now. Jumbo got their stage win. Are we really complaining for 4 bonus seconds for Pogi? Those won't matter in the end...

Compared to Vingegaard.

39s lead
21s TT + cobbles
18s bonus

Difficult enough to beat Pog. Nearly doubling his lead because of shitty team tactics isn´t helping.

 

[ppanther92]

That was to be expected, though.

It was but still wondering. Sagan was also quite dominant.

 

[postmanhat]

Good to see Kron back in the mix after getting covid just before the Tour. Lotto desperately need something from this race with Ewan doing nothing, again.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Not sure Vingo could have done anything about Pog grabbing bonus seconds. Need stomping legs for that.

A lot of those bonus seconds happen when Vigo and Tad are going mano-a-mano. That's on Vigo.
