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

Yes they did.

Asgreen spent half his time in the break pulling it.

Then why were they dropped? They didn’t have the legs

 

[RobertCrawley]

Hiring a cat killer is the worst for me. But Bilbao is good. **** the team.

Madness not to fire the cat killer immediately.

 

[Boehmand]

Asgreen. He would’ve been dropped worse than Ala dropped anyway.

Rubbish.

He climbs at least as well as Neilands, if he is not burned up doing Dom work for Alaphilippe.

 

[Boehmand]

Asgreen was dropped because of the work he did, Alaphilippe was dropped because he didn't have it.

 

[StryderHells]

Rubbish.

He climbs at least as well as Neilands, if he is not burned up doing Dom work for Alaphilippe.

Asgreen wasn’t winning this stage

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Move over Powless, Lafay is the new nice lad in town! (according to Fred Wright and Matt Stephens)

 

[Boehmand]

Asgreen wasn’t winning this stage

Since that can clearly not be based on past results, or past climbing, I am curious as to why you think that?

They signed him after he got fired.

But hey, shout out to nice guy Victor.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Rubbish.

Yes, Asgreen would have outclimbed Bilbao, O Connor, Pedrero etc. today. Good point!

My god, you are getting more and more delusional, are you not?

Looking at the group that went to the line is enough for me

They signed the Trek guy?

 

[Salvarani]

For me Ineos feels a bit on the loosing side today. they couldn't get anythin out of the chaos at the start and felt on the backfoot the whole time.

Bardet and gaudu got saved today by their irrelevancy. No team needed to keep them behind and no team needed to test them again. on the last climb. So if they recover well until the weekend or make a good break maybe Ineos and Jayco look back at that moment adn wished they buried them here.

The Tour is really great this year. I'm looking forward to Thursdays stage as there could be a great breakaway battle again and this time there will be probably also no wait with three pretty hard back-toback-to-back climbs in the last 65 km (that's of course if the race is really on like today)

They contradicted themselves big time, as well.

Said they wasnt gonna pull on the radio... but ended up being the ones pulling in the end.

Yeah that was amusing, possibly the only interesting/funny thing from having access to team radio this year

 

[RobertCrawley]

Peak Jai Hindley kept pace today.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The one thing I really don't like about being on the forum during the Tour is that it's the one race that, year after year, brings out a couple of posters who post bad take after bad take (be it due to chauvinism, not watching enough cycling, or simply not understanding ***), have a complete inability to shut up in the stage threads, and never consider the idea that they might be wrong. It's a good thing that we haven't had Roglic and Evenepoel racing each other at the Tour yet, because mixing in their more delusional fanboys with that would actually drive me insane.

Don't even want to think about it. Tiberi's career as a cyclist should have ended then and there. Stack shelves at Tesco, whatever. It's something that I would personally never forgive. But whatever, business as usual at Bahrain.

Evenepoel racing the Tour going to be next level annoying, not any fault of his of course.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Rubbish.

He climbs at least as well as Neilands, if he is not burned up doing Dom work for Alaphilippe.

You do you. I think it’s delusional but we are all entitled to opinions. Asgreen at hi best can probably climb like Neilands, but I think Asgreen is far from his best.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Seb Piquet asked Jonas if Wout was going home. Jonas said he's not going anywhere.

 

[Rollthedice]

They signed the Trek guy?

Yes. Again it does not take away nothing for Bilbao, a rider who left everything on the road to win today. Just that he wears a wrong jersey, for me at least.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Seb Piquet asked Jonas if Wout was going home. Jonas said he's not going anywhere.

I hope they let him go to the Hotel and to Clermont-Ferrand for the start of tomorrows stage..

 

[RobertCrawley]

Here's what I notice about Pogi this year: He seems much more human than he has in previous years. He may well win, but he looks like a guy who's working hard.

What are you talking about? Today is the start of the kasper asgreen gc podium comeback

I think that’s only because he lost last years race, to me this season he’s looked extraterrestrial

Seb Piquet asked Jonas if Wout was going home. Jonas said he's not going anywhere.

Wout's wife (and Wout himself) might have something to say about that, if she goes into labor.
