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

[Didinho]

Jakobsen 14min behind.

18min now.

I think Chavez is regretting hos decision - he probably hoped for company.

85 K on his own is probably not going to stick, so I see him dropping back to the group soon, unless he gets company.

Yeah that's nuts

Who doesn't remember Levi Leipheimer and his 8th place at the 2002 Tour de France? That was so much better for Rabobank than Rasmussen's polkadots jerseys and his stage wins in the Vosges and at La Toussuire!

Leipheimer himself probably shakes his head seeing the decisions of AG2R and/or Francaise des Jeux!

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Yeah that's nuts

Clearly hoping for company. And still plenty chance in this lovely terrain of which I enjoyed so much myself decades ago.

 

[tobydawq]

Sagan climbing like a dream.

France always looks awesome in July. Or at least they only find awesome thingss for the camera.

looks awesome until you are out in the 35 degrees!!

 

[Boehmand]

Asgreen made it back, cool!

I wonder what Leipheimer is doing these days.

It is stage 10!

He is back in the peloton.

He might get better. Too early to just give up now.

They should have just sat up after the start and given up completely, you say. How would that have been wise? He would have been crucified in the French media.

[Boehmand]

Soudal is pissing me off.

It makes no sense to kill Asgreen pulling the break on his own, instead of having 2 cards to play in the finale.

Asgreen is the type of guy who can attack in the last 50 K and make it stick, while Alaphilippe can just follow wheels and capitalise if others bring Asgreen back.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I love chavito but he seems to have forgotten he is not ben healy

 

[Rackham]

I wonder what Leipheimer is doing these days.

He should start a cycling podcast youtube channel, like the 1000's of other ex pros from that era.

Ok, Alpecin is trying to chase.

 

[Tim Cahill]

I do hope Schultz takes it after he got done on the line last year

I suspect some other teams will start getting ideas soon if it stays this close

 

[Didinho]

Ok, Alpecin is trying to chase.

Mathieu’s diarrhea suddenly over?

 

[Boehmand]

Mathieu’s diarrhea suddenly over?

It's usually "sudden" when diarrhea is over

 

[Peter von]

Ok, Alpecin is trying to chase.

nice, let's do another re-shuffle

 

[Salvarani]

Philipsen feeling very good or is it for MVDP?

 

[Salvarani]

Did I just hear a cow?

 

[Boehmand]

There is no way Alpecin is bringing anything back, by pulling with 1 guy.

 

[Boehmand]

Did I just hear a cow?

Heard it too!

 

[Boehmand]

Break is starting to share the workload, they will not get brought back.

 

[Izzyeviel]

36F according to Jens. Poor guys must be freezing.

 

[Elos Anjos]

If was Jens Voigt's legs I would keep working if he told me so.
