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

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Bilbao since his stage win has had some solid form, which he didn’t really show in the Pyrenees.

Time for Chris harper to earn a nice bonus!!! Full gas!!!

 

[SHAD0W93]

Not so random, we’ve also had Contador and Pantani

One of those isn’t like the other

 

[Samamba]

Gaudu getting better it seems. Looked horribe 2 hours ago. Given he was already dropped earlier this week on a hill, I assume he's just really bad at the beginning of a stage.

 

[postmanhat]

He's never getting back. Best bet is he catches a semi competitive pursuit group but that looks unlikely now. Whether he's hurt or just cooked he doesn't have the legs

Didn't look like he was blowing, or climbing all over his bike? Would be a shame if it's an injury.

 

[Samamba]

Moto's don't want Yates group back

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Gaudu can't believe his luck here.

 

[Sciatic]

But for what the timing is worth, Pidcock only closed 3s of the 34s…

Weight & gravity also impact the possible top speed on a descent like that.

Why is Chris Harper chasing Chris Harper?

Bilbao since his stage win has had some solid form, which he didn’t really show in the Pyrenees.

He had good form the whole tour, he was babysitting Landa in the Pyrenees and punctured the first stage in Basque country

 

[Red Rick]

Watch for Pantani's record on the Joux Plane.

Block tailwind.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Yates group closing the gap. Well done.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Wout how selfish?

 

[ppanther92]

Gall a good domestique to Yates. Martin not.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Harper's at the wheel, he's doing his thing, Simon Yates is back.

 

[Volderke]

Wout how selfish?

Very selfish: chosing the pace, the riding line, getting all the fresh breeze on his nose...

 

[Eclipse]

Super effort from Harper.

 

[Gigs_98]

Jumbo had nothing on rouleur Felix Gall

 

[RobertCrawley]

Yates group closing the gap. Well done.

Barraged too. Very well done.

 

[Sciatic]

One of the doms should be nice and grab a bottle for Hindley since he doesn’t have anyone to do so

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Looks like Ineos are quite happy to let Pidcock cook on his own with Castroviejo remaining in no-mans-land for the last 10 minutes

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Watch for Pantani's record on the Joux Plane.

Block tailwind.

The stage has been ridden hard, which can worsen JP times. Guys are tired and that's what JV were aiming for.

Jumbo had nothing on rouleur Felix Gall

I was a bit surprised by rouleur Gall. Three strong pulls there, even more considering how his ITTs look like.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

At least Pidcock can save himself for World championship MTB cross now

twice you've made the mistake now. cross-country yes.

but yeah he is losing time now for the stage, that is what he's said when the gc is over. no point getting back on now.

 

[ontheroad]

Watch for Pantani's record on the Joux Plane.

Block tailwind.

Don't think there will be any record today given the infernal pace this stage has been ridden to date.
