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

[Tim Cahill]

Climb being HC is deceiving I think, it's not too hard

 

[Boehmand]

A lot of that Tour money is also paid out in so many ways; for the overall placings down to 160th, stage wins and placings down to 20th, stage classifications, and overall classification wins and placings.

Tennis has had higher viewership in 2023 compared to cycling and other years.

Cycling unlike tennis and golf has higher distributions that the allotted money can go to for spending. Think of all the hotel rooms you need to get for the teams and staff, gas money, vehicle maintenance, spending for police, parking, food, etc. It’s a lot compared to what tennis and golf has to spend out.

The total prize fund for the Tour, is lower than the winners prize in both examples.

Agree on the rest.

 

[Gigs_98]

I think Kwiat has this.

 

[Ulle97]

30 riders left in the peloton....... that will get whittled down very shortly.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Pidders!!

 

[Didinho]

UAE some strong climbing train. Even without Almeida, McNulty and Ayuso.

 

[titan31]

UAE looking strong today

And again, read my last paragraph. Organizers have a lot more to spend their money on then pocketing some or more.

 

[FrontHeadlock]

At this point I'd like anyone to win stages other than Pog and Philipsen.

 

[Sciatic]

I’ll

UAE some strong climbing train. Even without Almeida, McNulty and Ayuso.

then why is the gap still over 3 min? Are you saying thinking it’s GPS trolling?

 

[Martinstranger]

Is the time right?

UAE might look good but according to time, they are not gaining much. Right now Kwia is taking more time.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Michael Kwi<alphabet> has a chance to get this, as UAE isn't gaining any measureable time, still. Maybe Pog is just trying to get through today and tire everyone out a bit today, but not go nuclear?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Surely this gap is wrong, UAE riders look like they're dying on the front, riders out the back

 

[Boehmand]

I find it weird UAE is not dropping the hammer more, it seems like they are riding the climb defensively.

If I was the JV DS, I'd recommend Vingegaard trying to punch it on the steep part with 7.5 K to go, but they probably wont.

 

[Ulle97]

UAE putting the hammer down..... Soler has the peloton strung out in a long line.

 

[Poursuivant]

I think Kwiat has this.

Can’t see him losing 3 minutes in 8km

It looks like they are trying! It's all a bit strange

The breakaway is getting caught but K man is flying

 

[RobertCrawley]

Can’t see him losing 3 minutes in 8km

25 minutes of climbing to go.

 

[meat puppet]

Someone "cracked" a joke there

 

[Izzyeviel]

There's always that one ass hole

 

[Valv.Piti]

Kwito should have that, absolutely dream day

 

[Gigs_98]

I think UAE are either putting the hammer down the second the road starts to get steeper again or they are setting a false pace.

 

[DrSahl]

Baarle gone

 

[RobertCrawley]

There's always that one ass hole

I think there's more than one on that hill.

 

[titan31]

Think Soler needs to pull over, he's not doing much now if Pog wants the stage
