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

[Pirazziattacks]

UAE have taken a leaf out of the Jumbo playbook and are maintaining numbers for no apparent reason.

 

[dazaau]

This is going to be a fizzer isn't it

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

UAE taking a page out of the 2020 Jumbo playbook to perfection.

 

[Martinstranger]

I mean, he has been a world champion and has won a Tour stage before along with Amstel. It would not be his biggest win.

I still think he deserves it and think it will be a big stage to win He has done so much for others in this race or at least that how i remember it

Comment of the day!

 

[Boehmand]

The timing is right, 2:22 at the 5 K portal.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

This is going to be close

Hoping Kwia will take it - he deserves a big win

Kwiat looks like he has a good rhythm going so far. Still another 4km to go though...

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Steep part done, still a big group. Kwiatkowski win and tiny gaps on the last 500m will be it for today.

 

[Tim Cahill]

UAE with a Sepp Kuss style performance

 

[titan31]

Can't see anything until the last KM here now. UAE just not going fast enough anymore

 

[FrontHeadlock]

Because he’s conserving energy for tomorrow? Today would’ve been pointless for him.

Ha, I know. It's just a funny sight. He's 100% riding smart.

 

[dobrien]

The proverbial damp squib so far..

 

[RobertCrawley]

UAE slow train.

 

[nightowl]

Weird tactics from UAE. Surely there should be maximum one teammate left when they hit the flat section not all 3 of them. They haven’t been going hard enough

 

[Gigs_98]

Honestly I have the feeling like UAE always planned to ride like this to set up mountain sprint for Pogacar. It's just that they overestimated how much time they could take on the break and now they are questioning whether they should pull through.

 

[Sciatic]

There a virtually flat Km in this final portion

 

[frisenfruitig]

Why were UAE even riding all day if they aren't going to close the gap lol

 

[SafeBet]

Could UAE and Pogacar be bluffing?

 

[Poursuivant]

The proverbial damp squib so far..

I suppose we’ve been due one

 

[meat puppet]

By the look of things, pogstomp is the new roglstomp

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Kwi<alphabet> is goint to take this!!

Saving energy for the weekend.

If Pog was on a bad day, JV will never know.

Cause they simply arent good enough, sadly.

 

[Sciatic]

Kwiawat is going to take this,

 

[Gigs_98]

Could UAE and Pogacar be bluffing?

Definitely a possibility.
