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

[dobrien]

Motos aside, Pogacar did his best Rigoberto Uran Olympics impression at the top of that mountain sprint there

It looked like he just stopped working, almost like "This is ridiculous".

 

[Boehmand]

I think there is only 1 second between Hindley and Rodriguez after today

 

[ice&fire]

So 1s net gain for Vingegaard today.

The trend has reversed

 

[Eclipse]

Hm, when he gave Yates the nod I was relatively sure that he will gain net seconds (most likely 3+4) instead of losing to Vingegaard. Don’t think he will be happy.

I'm sure he'd want more given how it panned out, but this was the exact day people thought JV might crush. Big multi mountains with a huge team effort to make it hard the whole time and instead it was Pogi who dictated the finale.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Are people really gonna act as if Pogacar was dropping Vingegaard when he couldn't even win the sprint on the top?

It's unfortunate. Who knows how things would have turned out.

 

[JosefK]

Another great stage in this TDF, except for the terrible crashes. Great win for Rodriguez. Jumbo's plan was well executed, but in the end it is your guy vs. their guy, and the two battled to almost a draw. The Tour is still on.

 

[gunara]

Lots of madness and storied climbs and they fight for seconds like it's TDU without Wilunga.

No but it was always the guy coming from behind with the attack getting the bonus seconds. So instead of +1 it would have been -5. Lets see if that matters in the end.

For a mod, you are a little bit like a troll, aren't you?

 

[carolina]

Gaudu lost 6 minutes.

 

[topt]

All the efforts of Pogacar gave him mere secounds... Vingegaard still in the Yellow Jersey with 10 secounds gab.

Tomorrow suddenly got interesting

it was exactly the same effort for Vine

How hard do you think he went for that? I think he simply forgot there were seconds there.

 

[StryderHells]

Rodriguez a win and big bonus on Hindley etc. Really strong.

Here’s hoping Hindley doesn’t suffer from that crash so we can have a good battle for 3rd, Rodriguez was brilliant today.

 

[bill1109]

Pog first guy to congratulate Rodriquez over the finish.

Great performance by Adam Yates. Last Dom standing. Many wrote him off. Won't get into what this means compared to TJV strength left behind. Will see what happens tomorrow. 3d chess by TJV for now.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Pogacar never lost a sprint to Vingegaard. Fact.

Who won at the top of Joux Plane, I wonder?

Pretty sure rhethorical questions are a normal argumentation technique.

Or perhaps Yates can't sprint.

But Pogi could have let him go. 4>2.

 

[VorstM]

Pogi didnt drop Vingegaard with his first attack, so why would it be different the second time.

 

[Eclipse]

Does it feel like a missed opportunity for Vingegaard to not attack the descent? He was very comfortable on the wheel and he did take time there earlier in the race. Wondering if he could have bridged to Rodriguez.

 

[HelloDolly]

Gall: When I was on the final climb I was looking around at those guys and asking myself what am I doing here ...ha ha

 

[Elos Anjos]

Who won at the top of Joux Plane, I wonder?

Do you believe that Pogacar would loose the sprint if not for the motos/public?

 

[Fantastico]

Are people really gonna act as if Pogacar was dropping Vingegaard when he couldn't even win the sprint on the top?

I think he was just a bit caught by surprise when Vingegaard started his sprint.

 

[Faserr]

I think Pogi was really angry with the motos and then fell asleep 300 metres from the top .

 

[tobydawq]

For a mod, you are a little bit like a troll, aren't you?

Yes, absolutely, it's quite ridiculous. But apparently there will never be assigned new mods.
