Tour de France Tour de France 2023, stage 10: Vulcania - Issoire, 167.2k

[Boehmand]

Mohoric and Alaphilippe won't be the break of the day, there is no way they can stay out in front alone all day, more are bound to bridge to them.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Ala and Mohoric!

Couple of guys who know how to descend!

 

[Valv.Piti]

RCS taking notes?

 

[Boehmand]

letour.fr says its 26.2°C for the leaders right now

Ah, the commentary said 35, my bad

 

[willbick]

Love a lumpy Massif Centrale stage

 

[Didinho]

I almost forgot to eat. Even for the couch potatoes it’s a brutal stage.

 

[Rollthedice]

Notice Vingegaard taking time on Pogacar on the descent, it will be interesting when we get to the real mountains.

The more I see the more I think Pog is a below average descender. Vinge looks decent, could be a game changer when push comes to shove.

 

[Aimar16]

Mohoric using his automatic telescope saddle, or however you call that.

dropper

Ah, the commentary said 35, my bad

between trees and with a bit of altitude it could well be 27 at that moment, but it will reach 35 (in the shadow) during the day.

 

[kingjr]

Ah, the commentary said 35, my bad

I don't know which is true either

 

[pelotonIQ]

Beautiful, Wout got dropped.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Van Aert slaughtered himself trying to bridge that gap

 

[Boehmand]

The favorites group has not let up, the break may get caught again.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

I almost forgot to eat. Even for the couch potatoes it’s a brutal stage.

I was going to go grocery shopping when the action wears off, now I am probably going to starve the way it looks like.

 

[RobertCrawley]

The more I see the more I think Pog is a below average descender. Vinge looks decent, could be a game changer when push comes to shove.

Pogi wiped out last year on a descent and Jonas waited for him. Jonas might be a little better.

 

[Peyroteo94]

If this continues like this, Pogi will attack. He can't contain himself

 

[Salvarani]

Van Aert slaughtered himself trying to bridge that gap

Yeah... it was a big effort. Still... he has been doing that with ease in the past.

Not in the same form this year.

 

[dercuforever]

Ewan and Jakobsen might as well save themselves and abandon right now.

I'd be more afraid of lightweight riders, there is a lot of rolling terrain today.

 

[Peyroteo94]

The more I see the more I think Pog is a below average descender. Vinge looks decent, could be a game changer when push comes to shove.

He is average. Below average is someone like Kuss

 

[Salvarani]

"Peloton" coming back.

 

[SafeBet]

If this continues like this, Pogi will attack. He can't contain himself

Yeah it's the perfect stage for him.

 

[Salvarani]

I'd be more afraid of lightweight riders, there is a lot of rolling terrain today.

I was moreso thinking that Ewan and Jakobsen dropped immediately. They are probably +10 minutes behind already.

 

[Boehmand]

We are 35 K into a puncheur stage, and there is only something like 50 guys in the peloton

 

[Elos Anjos]

Gaudu also apparently

Laughs in Démare.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

It's rather complicated to form a breakaway when the peloton isn't much bigger than the kind of breakaway you'd expect on this stage.
