Tour de France Tour de France 2023, stage 14: Annemasse - Morzine, 151.8k

[Gigs_98]

Pidcock really not looking good.

 

[ppanther92]

Pidcock struggles a lot now.

 

[Volderke]

Still hanging on.

 

[Sciatic]

Didi looking a bit unsteady there—this pace is tough for him

 

[Samamba]

Pidcock really not looking good.

Was involved in that crash earlier, could be that, or just because it's a real mountain stage.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pidcock crashed earlier, not a good sign but could make it back on the descent if he gets dropped nearer the top

 

[The Clogger]

Since Pogacar's miracle turnaround after stage 5 I can't see him getting dropped today.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Vingegaard has already lost the stage. He should have attacked when there were two riders in-between him and Pogačar. Biggest gap he's had all week.

 

[Samamba]

Guillaume Martin casually riding himself into the top 10 again

 

[Ripper]

There he goes.

He should be fine, and catch anybody on the descent. But depending on his nutrition and how he's feeling overall, he might get buried on the next climb

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pidcock has been great on the unipuerto stages but now we're back in the real mountains he's reminding us why he was outside the top 10 before those in the first place.

 

[ppanther92]

All those high caliber climvers dropping just for van Baarle looking at relative ease…

 

[Krzysztof_O]

JV guys have eaten a lot of pasta, it seems. Soon Vinge, Kuss, Wout and Van Baarle will be the majority of the "peleton".

 

[Boehmand]

Soler and Grossschartner struggling now.

 

[laarsland]

All those high caliber climvers dropping just for van Baarle looking at relative ease…

Dudes actually catching back up. Too steep for him pace

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Steep section almost over so I guess the bomb isn't being dropped here yet. Wonder if anyone will bother with the KOM points.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Didi looking a bit unsteady there—this pace is tough for him

He deserves his own thread.

 

[ppanther92]

Dudes actually catching back up. Too steep for him pace

True, Benoot was apparently faster.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Random Oscar Pereiro sign

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Counted 21 in the group with Pidcock as the last rider.

 

[Gigs_98]

So Van Baarle to to bring them over the top of the climb, lead them on the descent and the flat before Van Aert, Kelderman and Kuss set up Vingegaard on the Joux Plane?

 

[Tim Cahill]

"Back to de commentadorsh!"

 

[RobertCrawley]

Pidders is suffering but hanging in there.

 

[postmanhat]

Pidcock has been great on the unipuerto stages but now we're back in the real mountains he's reminding us why he was outside the top 10 before those in the first place.

Or he just went into the race with not much form from the TDS, and today he crashed.

 

[ontheroad]

This is like a throwback to the peak Sky days. Ride an infernal pace using dom after dom until the peloton is shelled down to nothing.
