Tour de France Tour de France 2023, stage 13: Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne - Grand Colombier, 137.8k

[Netserk]

I don't have the time to elaborate now. But I think it's quite evident that there is a correlation between shorter stages and exciting racing. Denying that is just being contrarian.

Are 80 km stages better than 120 km stages?

 

[Elos Anjos]

Who's the Hamlet guy?

You know, the crazy Danish prince that Shakespeare wrote about.

 

[frisenfruitig]

Abandon Ewan.

I honestly wonder what his deal is the last couple of years. He's like a husk of what he used to be.

I don't have time to elaborate now. But I thinks it's quite clear that WVA is a Belgian pozzato and shouldn't be considered as a classics star or world class rider. Denying that is just being contrarian

He famously said, To attack or not attack, that is the question.

Sure, but I don't get what the comment is supposed to mean in this context?

 

[DrSahl]

Danish broadcast debating Tour prize money.

The Tour winner gets € 500,000 after riding 21 stages
The Wimbledon winner gets € 2,750,000 after playing 7 matches
The US Open winner gets € 3,200,000 after playing 4 rounds

Yes poor Vingegaard, he only has a salary of around 1.5 million euros a year... poor fellow.. I am not even sure he has enough money to buy butter for this bread

 

[RobertCrawley]

The teams are all together and will fight for position at the beginning of the climb.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Sure, but I don't get what the comment is supposed to mean in this context?

It means that the assessment about different sports made by Danish commentators is also crazy.

I would be okay with sprint stages being 50k or so...

 

[Boehmand]

Allez Pacher!

That makes no sense at all, but whatever

 

[saunaking]

An entertaining large stage is better than an entertaining short stage. Paris Roubaix is an example of that.

You can't compare a classic to a stage in a GT. The tactics are totally different

 

[DrSahl]

Ready set go. Action

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Jonas needed a bottle dumped on his head...I think maybe Pog crushes him today.

 

[RobertCrawley]

UAE has decided to make the race hard.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Ready set go. Action

 

[Tricycle Rider]

At last the climb!

 

[RobertCrawley]

Wouter no help today.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

...I guess Jumbo's master plan for wearing down Pog, was to have all of their team, sans Kuss and Jonas, get dropped at the bottom of the climb...brilliant strategy!!

 

[RobertCrawley]

That's a good long climb.

 

[Boehmand]

Benoot dropped, paying for yesterday.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Laengen pacing with a heavy gear.

 

[DrSahl]

UAE has decided to make the race hard.

Obviously. This is a Pogacar stage. The question is when Pogacar will ride away from Vingegaard himself.. (most likely close to the finish)

 

[Didinho]

Time for Yates to go. Vingo isolated already.
And there is Kuss back.
