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

[Tim Cahill]

Froome now IPT's best rider, have to say I didn't see it coming

 

[titan31]

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

Try and get through today and see how he is Tuesday morning I'd imagine is the plan.

i hear there will be mandatory covid testing after the rest day... pretty scary

 

[DrSahl]

Any action this climb coming up? Predictions?

I sadly think nothing will happen.

 

[Potomac]

If you're high on GC you shouldn't need to be tested. Clearly your healthy.

 

[Tim Cahill]

What the *** is Pierre Latour doing

 

[Pirazziattacks]

The French Harry Potter is dropped.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Liege Bobbo is back after vanishing for about 20 years

 

[Pirazziattacks]

What the *** is Pierre Latour doing

The perennial question.

 

[Lui98]

Jungels is conferming the good performances of the Tour de Suisse. I'm happy to see him back again at the front of a race.

I think a lot of riders might have to leave the tour, it could potentially change everything.
Personally I don´t really like this take on covid, but well. better safe than sorry I guess.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Could turn out to be a smart move by Jungels and Geschke. But I think plenty are underestimating the last climb. It's long and draft will matter a lot.

 

[Tim Cahill]

The German Piotr Ugrumov just bridged that with ease

 

[SafeBet]

So nice to see Jungels back at a good level.

 

[ice&fire]

Liege Bobbo is back after vanishing for about 20 years

He was still trying to finish the 2019 Giro

 

[RedheadDane]

KoM changes from a man with a great moustache, to a man with a great beard.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I think Cort might DNF now that he'll be forced to wear the regular EF kit.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

I just love how ridiculous commentators overhype situation for nationalistic reasons. German commentator was celebrating Geschke collecting 10 points for KOM there as if he had won Paris Roubaix.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Uran gets yellow and in Tuesday there's no more Pogacar, Vingo, Thomas, Yates. Just Roglic and the colombians go for the yellow and it would be the best and weirdest Tour ever.

 

[bigcog]

Froome gone

 

[StryderHells]

I think Cort might DNF now that he'll be forced to wear the regular EF kit.

I would do the same.

 

[Salvarani]

Peloton got pretty small in the end. A few will likely rejoin on the descent.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Imagine being a commentator, sitting there and unironically being disappointed that Ineos doesn't open the race with 70 to go on a meh first mountain stage.

Calm down Rolfie. Plenty of time.. even on this stage

 

[Netserk]

Geschke caught by the chasers.

 

[Eclipse]

Jungels looks really strong and it's making me very happy.

He's got no chance of course, but I am very happy for him and hopefully he can get in a break with more hope later in the race
