Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 9 (Aigle – Châtel Les Portes du Soleil, 192.9k)

[sir fly]

I suppose Dan Lloyd'd occupied with Wimbledon this afternoon.

 

[Salvarani]

Lafay is sick?

 

[Salvarani]

How many sprinters will make it to Paris?

 

[Potomac]

Doesn't UAE know McNulty is in the break? Madness....worst team ever!

 

[Pirazziattacks]

UAE should add some interest to the race by pulling off the front and giving Uran as much time as the other GC teams are willing to concede.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogacar can loose 5 minutes today for Uran and this would be the perfect scenario for UAE in my opinion.

Looks like after the invisibility of Movistar there's plenty of teams ready to take on the role of silliest team tactics ever

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pogacar and Van Aert need to be wary of violating the 2 stage rule.

Win 2 stages and everyone will praise your 'attacking spirit', win any more and they will be stood on the roadside saying someone has to do something about this arrogant ****er.

Roadside?

This board moans even more.

 

[Salvarani]

Hirschi done.

 

[Filippo_3467]

But still 5 (1 of them even in the break) remaining. So maybe it's time to put the "UAE team is too weak" narrativ to bed. They controlling the break really good. They will probably shell Bjerg on the next mountain but thats enough domestiques for the rest of the stage.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Latour nice sprint for KOM.

 

[RedheadDane]

Latour nice sprint for KOM.

For a sec there I thought maybe he had continued after the KoM sprint - was away for a bit, so didn't see it - but then I remembered that he's yet another French rider suffering from descendtophobia...

 

[Tim Cahill]

That bridge is a disaster waiting to happen, some stone age s***

 

[noob]

I wonder if Pog asked to call back McNulty.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I was lied to, I thought all hell would break loose on that bridge!
I hope they only ever ride over French ones from now on.

Are you watching stage 2 again?

 

[Potomac]

Any action this climb coming up? Predictions?

 

[Salvarani]

O`Connor is hurt

 

[RedheadDane]

Someone mentioned "dead wood" on UAE a bit earlier.
Well, IPT got a barely living Woods...

Doesn't look good for O'Connor...

 

[glassmoon]

O`Connor is hurt

looked like DNF yesterday already...

 

[Bolder]

O`Connor is hurt

That's a shame as he looked pretty good this year.

 

[Lequack]

There are clouds coming in. That means Pog will attacks.

 

[Eclipse]

That's a shame as he looked pretty good this year.

Think if he's this bad he should perhaps just pull out and see what he can do at the Vuelta against the rest if he's fresh. Seems silly to solider on in the hopes he recovers enough for a stage win or maybe contesting the KOM

But fortunately his team has brought gaffer tape. It can fix pretty much everything.
