Tour de France Tour de France 2023, stage 15: Les Gets - Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc, 179.0k

[DJ Sprtsch]

Puncture for Gall. Bad timing.

 

[titan31]

Groups look too big here. That 2nd group is massive

 

[Boehmand]

Poor Petit

 

[Samamba]

This should be the break for the stage win.

 

[Boehmand]

Both Woods and Neilands in the break

 

[titan31]

Feels like this group is too big and now we're getting GC guys looking to move across.

Lot of guys in that front group who are bigger stage threats than Wout too so seems silly to leave them go away

 

[Boehmand]

Pidcock and Gaudu trying to bridge across, Jumbo instantly shutting it own

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Dear Jumbo and UAE, please give this group half an hour so that Pinot takes yellow.

 

[perico]

Cort, Amador and Bettiol could help him (Bettiol did after I wrote)

I know, I was half joking.

 

[Samamba]

Philipsen just chilling in the first positions of the peloton. He'll win atleast 2 more stages as every other sprinter is dead apart from maybe Pedersen.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Estamos en la fuga???

 

[Tim Cahill]

Perfect group for Jumbo Visma to go and they seem to be reeling it in

 

[Eclipse]

Yeah, If you're in that 8min+ range you're surely tempted to look at jumping on something.

 

[Boehmand]

I know, I was half joking.

Then what was the other half?

 

[RedheadDane]

Wondering why Uno-X DS is speaking English. I would have assumed that most riders on the team can understand Norwegian/Danish.

Coquard still looks quite spry too

 

[perico]

Then what was the other half?

Sarcasm directed at the rest of EF’s utter disaster of a TdF.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pidcock attacks on the downhill with 2 JV and Majka with him

 

[Boehmand]

Pidcock insisting, this may kill the break

 

[RobertCrawley]

Wowt

Wondering why Uno-X DS is speaking English. I would have assumed that most riders on the team can understand Norwegian/Danish.

English has become the lingua franca of the tour, oddly.

 

[Boehmand]

Jumbo, UAE and Trek refusing to work in the second group, just Pidcock and Madouas working

 

[D. Pecher]

Wondering why Uno-X DS is speaking English. I would have assumed that most riders on the team can understand Norwegian/Danish.

Could be a requirement from ASO? Else everyone would speak non-english so the other teams can't listen in via the TV feed?

 

[Samamba]

Coquard still looks quite spry too

Sure, but Coquard isn't a super fast sprinter.

 

[RedheadDane]

Pretty sure the French teams still speak French.

There are probably DS's on French teams that don't speak a word of English, so that would surprise me
