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

If the information is correct, S. Yates is in that peloton at 40 seconds behind the leading group / group yellow.

Edit: A. Yates and Gaudu too.

I don't understand why VDP wastes energy on this, he has no chance of winning a stage like this.

This is his best chance to win a stage the rest of the Tour, he is not wasting energy.

 

[Didinho]

Breakaway of 50 riders now.

 

[pelotonIQ]

Um... it is not a problem.

Could definitely be a problem if Vinge creates separation between himself and Poga on the last climb.

has only really has no chance if he doesn't go into the break. even if he only has a slim chance, this is his final stage where he can do something. ASO has labelled stage 18 as hilly, but I still think it's a Phillipsen day.

Yates, gaudu, Kuss in the back

Kuss doesn’t need to do anything, but Yates and Gaudu must not have good legs or plans positioning I presume.

If he gets away with 5 riders who aren’t as strong as him it could be a stage for the win. It comes down to indurance and freshness. But yeah normally it would be to hard. But you never know if the circumstances are good.

Yates brothers in the 2nd group?

 

[Reynard]

Not enough ineos in the front to push it, also not enough Bora

 

[Salvarani]

Yates brothers 40 seconds down?

 

[DNP-Old]

Half of the Jumbo team is behind. Van Aert would probably do good to stop attacking.

 

[Didinho]

Kuss with the Yates duo behind.

 

[Salvarani]

And the JV bashing begins

That wasnt bashing... just an observation. You are being weird.

 

[RobertCrawley]

What is your URL for that page? Thanks!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Both Yateses and Kuss is definitely a who's who of notorious nappers.

 

[Eclipse]

Now we're cooking

 

[Salvarani]

Not enough ineos in the front to push it, also not enough Bora

It will come together when the break finally goes.

Vinge often on his own here, while Pog has two guys around him at all times.

Vinge is more worried than Pogacar, because of this he wants to be in the front (or Pogacar's wheel) all the time and I think he is racing very smartly, Pogi is a danger in these type of stages.

 

[Salvarani]

Politt impressive here!

 

[Gigs_98]

Honestly surprised no gc team hast any interest in eliminating all those riders behind. I guess they aren't confident in their numbers.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Whens the TV attack coming from Pogacar

Sure, or expanding more energy.

Pidders going!
