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

[Rechtschreibfehler]

One day I like for a big break to get away, with only one rider I'd love to see win present, so I wouldn't be at war with myself.

Is that statistically very likely that you wouldn't like to see at least 2 out of say any 20 riders succeed?

What happened to Pidcock?

no idea, was thinking the same. Even Peters and CJJ made the jump, who were together with him

 

[Volderke]

It’s uphill from here; so not bad for alaphilippe and lutsenko to ride their pace and survive the forclaz without going too deep.
+ they can get some cash at the intermediate.

 

[JosefK]

Is Kuss back and allright?

Kuss is back in the peloton but it's hard to say how badly he's hurt.

 

[tobydawq]

WTF Pidcock?

 

[Ripper]

no idea, was thinking the same. Even Peters and CJJ made the jump, who were together with him

I think his part of the move was shut down. He is still too high on the GC

 

[Netserk]

It takes some getting used to, but it is feasible.

I wonder how it's like to sing all the time, though.

I’ve shared a kitchen with a Norwegian for several years, and while I could understand ~90 %, it still wasn’t enough. Much easier to switch to English.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pidcock said before the Tour he considered himself above joining the early break... clearly the chasse patate is far more honorable.

 

[Peter von]

Yes, it looks like Jumbo has possibly revised its plan after Kuss was hit by the spectator ... letting the break go far ahead.

I think that was always their plan. Jumbo wasn’t keeping the break close, the constant attacks from riders wanting to bridge the gap was, as far as I could tell.

The gap just exploded because riders from other teams didn’t want to look like dicks attacking just after a big crash.

Likely he didn't want to spend a day in the company of Wout and Mathieu. He got enough of that during the winter.

 

[Boehmand]

He's at 14:22 - I wonder who bothered shutting him down

 

[dazaau]

What is Lulu doing out there? Why?

 

[titan31]

I count 20 different teams on the overview, and yes Lotto is missing, but what is the other one?

Maybe I miscounted?

I think there's 21 there

Is today the Martin Top 10 GC trademark breakaway?

 

[Aimar16]

Pidcock is likely to be recalled by his team.

 

[tobydawq]

I’ve shared a kitchen with a Norwegian for several years, and while I could understand ~90 %, it still wasn’t enough. Much easier to switch to English.

I must admit I haven't really had much experience with Norwegian(s). I did watch Skam though and thought I understood better at the end than at the beginning.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Likely he didn't want to spend a day in the company of Wout and Mathieu. He got enough of that during the winter.

He got enough of riding about a minute behind Wout and Mathieu in the winter... which, ironically, is exactly what he was doing in trying to bridge.

 

[IndianCyclist]

Alaphilippe seems to spend his energy a bit wrong again today.

He left his intelligence at home. He is making useless attacks in stages that dont suit him at all, not saving energy which means when it will be favorable to him, he would be fatigued.

 

[Boehmand]

Pidcock is likely to be recalled by his team.

That just makes no sense, they could always recall him later on, and him in the break both helps his GC, the team GC, and gives them a chance at another stage win.

 

[titan31]

Is today the Martin Top 10 GC trademark breakaway?

Could be 6th by the end of the day potentially

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Really unfortunate to see a crash change the whole complexion of a race, would’ve been much more entertaining I believe if there wasn’t a crash.

 

[perico]

That just makes no sense, they could always recall him later on, and him in the break both helps his GC, the team GC, and gives them a chance at another stage win.

If they want to hang onto Carlos they gotta be 100% in on his podium. Pidcock will have to swallow that ego and accept it.

 

[Samamba]

So did Pidcock crash, have a mechanical or was Ineos really stupid and did they call him back cause no way he was dropped by Peters and Juul Jensen?

Also don't get why not more riders do the Martin strategy. He'll get a free top 10 again.

 

[Didinho]

Just got home from my 4h ride. Saw the crash. Hope they’re okay. And now I’m seeing Guillaume winning the Tour. Good.

Pidcock said before the Tour he considered himself above joining the early break... clearly the chasse patate is far more honorable.

He didnt say any such thing about being above a break.

He said he was going to try and see how he would go on GC and not go in breaks
Obv yesterday changed that

Also he wasnt with bridging group the 2nd time ..when they made it and must have gone off the front by himself before the crash
