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

Vinge is clueless in chaotic stages, he is definitely not relaxed. Grischa ''still possible on the last climb'' Niermann will have to work overtime micro-managing his rider.

He doesn't race classics so it is expected. Just like Froome, he just knows one tactic, follow the train.

Jumbo looks really horrible today tbh

How so?

They've got 5 guys in the favorites group.

 

[Salvarani]

1. If AG2R wants to ride for the general classification with Gall why aren't they pulling the peloton right now to eliminate Bardet & Gaudu

2. Why doesn't Gaudu just sit up? Take 5 rest days and go for polka dots from Saturday on.

1. I dont think they have the team to do that.

2. Pride/morals.

 

[Netserk]

I’m positively surprised by Vingegaard today. I think he has looked really good and attentive without panicking.

Yeah I forgot about van Baarle, it's okay for them I guess.

 

[JosefK]

Gaudu's group is coming back?

I'm not to fond of Vingegaard, but didn't you see the attacks already this tour, and the long distance attacks earlier this season? That's just not very insectoid shape shifter like. The Skeletor is a more agressive rider than given credit for it seems to me.

He looks good.

More worried about this doms, except for Van Baarle. He looks good as well.

He's riding wheels, saving energy.

This is why central massif stages should always be followed up by a mountain stage. Everyone and their mother is blowing themselves up today, and tomorrow would be carnage.

Do you think they would have raced like this today if there was the mother of all MTFs tomorrow? I highly doubt it.

 

[Boehmand]

Such an odd take, on a day where he has already put pressure on Pogacar twice, and has ended up with numbers on him in the favorites group

 

[Peyroteo94]

I would like to have more carnage today. But it was a good hour

 

[RobertCrawley]

Christian VdV could be right. Bilbao could be the big GC winner today.

Surprised UnoX didn't try and get someone in the break. Johannessen in particular

 

[Didinho]

Laporte still there. Impressive.

 

[Salvarani]

Jumbo controlling now.

 

[Boehmand]

Gaudu group only 1:10 down on the favorites group now, Küng showing he is worth his weight in gold.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

I go to the kitchen for a few minutes and wtf happend?

Don't mind, you're welcome to continue your activities in my kitchen
Myself just left less than an hour on my local club's TT route going full pull, and back again it seems I missed just about everything....yet another night ahead spending on watching things I've missed..but ofcourse stupid of me not to be ready fpr such a stage, fully expecting fireworks.
Luckily it still seems interesting, could still take anoter form. This is what Massif Centrâle can do.

DSM working as well.

 

[Boehmand]

Surprised UnoX didn't try and get someone in the break. Johannessen in particular

They did, but ended up all getting blown out the back, except for Træen.

 

[Salvarani]

Lets see what happens when they hit the climb.

As was Froome

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Jesus, I have an early appointment and the race has gone bananas.

 

[Netserk]

The second peloton will soon come back. I wonder who will pace after the climb, as I think Jumbo wouldn’t mind Bilbao in yellow.

 

[dazaau]

Lets see what happens when they hit the climb.

Please let someone light it up again
