Tour de France Tour de France 2023, stage 12: Roanne - Belleville-en-Beaujolais, 168.8k

[Salvarani]

Ineos afraid of Pinot?

 

[Red Rick]

van der poel was contador for 15 seconds. now hes kittel

May drop 20 minutes yet.

 

[DNP-Old]

LOL - WTF?

He's racing the exact same way as he was when he was 16 years old when it comes to efforts like these. Instead of riding a solid tempo, he tries to jump or counter and as a result always blows up.

 

[Didinho]

Ion can really descend IIRC, there was a really difficult wet descent on the Joux Plane he won on years back dropping Nibali.

Didn’t he won a Basque TT with a strong descent?

 

[Boehmand]

Ion can really descend IIRC, there was a really difficult wet descent on the Joux Plane he won on years back dropping Nibali.

Isn't he the guy that rode into a road sign on a descent when on Astana - or was that his brother?

 

[Gigs_98]

I just don't understand why Pinot seemingly gave up after catching MvdP. They let everyone back just so he now has to drop everyone again.

 

[Boehmand]

MVDP gave it a shot. Hats off to him.

I really like that you are wearing more than one hat

 

[Salvarani]

Both Yates and Soler tried several times - but JV haters just see what they want to see.

Soler was following Kelderman/Van Aert.

Yates tried when Vinge was by himself to see if he was going for it. Vinge responded immediately.

Just because I see it differently doesnt mean I am a hater. Cant argue with people like you. No point.

 

[StryderHells]

F£#K’n Yeah! I love medium mountain stages

 

[Tim Cahill]

Isn't he the guy that rode into a road sign on a descent when on Astana - or was that his brother?

MAL stage 1 2020 when Tony Martin tried acting like a policeman and they attacked on the descent is the one that comes to mind

It looked like he was catching his breath. He took some food and water. But maybe he just didn't have the legs.

People like me?

LOL

Let your prejudices fly free my man

 

[Gigs_98]

MvdP not being too far behind group 2 is the best news for Izaguirre.

You are the one that threw the word hater in there, for no reason. After that it is no point in continuing.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Those roads are really narrow. (Looks like a road in Ireland.) And there's sandy parts along the edges next to the grass.

 

[Rollthedice]

Ion is an excelent descender, good chances to win.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Soler is cooked for good. Completly out of shape

 

[Elos Anjos]

Soler

 

[Rollthedice]

What's with Ineos?

 

[Salvarani]

What's with Ineos?

Scared of Pinot, I guess.

This whole thread has been awash with people calling JV idiots, while UAE has ridden more or less the same way.

 

[Cagalitroso]

Having Ion in the lead is electric

 

[DNP-Old]

Van der Poel is Politt with talent.

 

[StryderHells]

What's with Ineos?

I’m sure they don’t know

Rock n Marginal Gains

Stop deflecting.

It had nothing to with me or anything I said, so you can go argue with those people instead. I am just a hater, according to you.
