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

[Eclipse]

Underwhelming finish really. Majka and Pog dont' seem in sync for the effort to launch point so far.

 

[Breezy1985]

Boring in the end

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Matthews went too early, maybe could have won that even.

 

[Warhawk]

I don't think Phil mentioned WVA until he crossed the line first, he was convinced Pogacar was going to win the sprint and then thought Matthews had it in the bag.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Giving Pogi bonus seconds is BS tactics by Jumbo. Vingo could’ve tried an attack. Stupid tactics yet again.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

At least Matthews was able to come past his Slovenian lead out rider this time.

 

[jsem94]

At least Pog didn't win this, though he did get bonus seconds. WVA lucky not to get completely boxed in there.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Another 4 seconds for Pogi. Too easy for WVA

 

[RobertCrawley]

WOUT!

 

[sir fly]

Cort keeps dots.

 

[saganftw]

vingegaard will lose a minute to pog just on bonuses, 200 IQ moves by jumbo

 

[Red Rick]

Matthews went too early, maybe could have won that even.

Van Aert got boxed in and still comfortably won, so no.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

NBC was convinced Kron was Ewan.

Thought I saw Roglic in the front bunch.

 

[Salvarani]

Pog barely got out of the saddle lol.

Great from Van Aert. Almost got boxed in but great acceleration in the end to take it.

 

[ontheroad]

If its not Pog then its WVA, the tour is all about those 2 men so far. Great ride by Matthews he couldn't have done much more just was never going to beat WVA in a sprint.

 

[ppanther92]

Thought I saw Roglic in the front bunch.

Yes, lost no time.

 

[StryderHells]

Matthews went too early, maybe could have won that even.

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

[T-Nielsen]

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?...

 

[tobydawq]

You know they won the stage, right?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

You know they won the stage, right?

I do, look at the post I was responding to.

 

[ppanther92]

Uran and Paret Peintre lost time. And Meintjes.

 

[Red Rick]

I think there was a headwind, which is why the group was pretty big, attacking futile and no time gaps. Pogacar looked worse than I expected based on stage 6, but maybe he was too far in the front and wasted a lot of energy getting into a decent position.

Roglic nowhere to be seen because of positioning alone. Nothing new.
