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

[Boehmand]

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.

Nothing to do with ego.

As said they could always call him back if Rodriguez got in trouble, it's why Jumbo and UAE have guys in the break too.

 

[Aimar16]

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.

The collision caused the peloton to stall and it has been moving at a pensioner's pace ever since. INEOS probably wanted peace with the others.

Van Hooydonck certainly isn't made of chocolate, as Brian Holm would say.

 

[Boehmand]

Trek is in a good position today, they finally managed to get all their climbers in the break, on a climbers stage.

 

[Boehmand]

The only thing I can think on Alaphilippe is, that he is going for polkadots - or he is just plain insane

 

[Tim Cahill]

What are Lutsenko and Alaphilippe doing

 

[D. Pecher]

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.

15th stage 1994 - Eros Poli, a bloke the size of Belgium and Cipollinis lead-out man won alone over the Mont Ventoux.

 

[Salvarani]

Lets see what happens when they hit the climbs in the peloton or if tactics has completely changed because of the crash.

 

[Boehmand]

LOL, Ciccone looking at the Astana car trying to bridge to Lutsenko, and then decided to keep blocking it

 

[Valv.Piti]

So the spectator basically ruined the stage, oh ffs.

 

[RedheadDane]

15th stage 1994 - Eros Poli, a bloke the size of Belgium and Cipollinis lead-out man won alone over the Mont Ventoux.

By "big" I meant "lots of riders", not "one big guy"...

 

[Netserk]

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.

I’m sure others can better understand it than I, but it depended a lot on context, content and tone/state. Obviously completely impossible after a few beers. Missing just a single noun or two can really mess up the meaning of a statement.

In English I can relax and easily recognise almost every single spoken word, not having to second guess what was said while I also have to think of the content of the conversation.

 

[Boehmand]

Trek and EF chasing for the mountain points (Lopez and Cort)

 

[Samamba]

AG2R was riding a few days ago to keep Martin in check when Gall was in 16th position and now they don't defend Galls 9th position.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Alaphilippe knows he doesn't have a hope in hell of winning a stage with his current legs and is just wh*ring for camera attention, as he's done all Tour. Lutsenko is probably in the same boat today.

Could be true, yes.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Lets see what happens when they hit the climbs in the peloton or if tactics has completely changed because of the crash.

It has, Jumbo was going on before, now they are chilling. Completely changed the dynamic of the entire race. Also, the break wasn't completely sure to get away, but then they were.

Small incidents yesterday and today really disappointing. Could honestly decide it in the end. Thankfully none of Vingegaard and Pogacar crashed, but cmon, now the stage will largely be pretty boring.

What's the difference between a schloss and a chateau?

 

[noob]

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.

There's also two Norweigian languages as well and one of them is easier to understand than the other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokmål

Danish is extremely hard to understand though

 

[Eclipse]

What's the difference between a schloss and a chateau?

one's french the other's german?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Van Hooydonck certainly isn't made of chocolate, as Brian Holm would say.

Stuyven may be able to make a chocolate copy of him.

 

[Boehmand]

What's the difference between a schloss and a chateau?

The language (german and french)

 

[RobertCrawley]

Van Hooydonck certainly isn't made of chocolate, as Brian Holm would say.

What does that mean exactly?

 

[Salvarani]

Jumbo probably dont want to risk spreading themselves thin now. Pushing hard, if their guys are hurt.

They have Van Aert who can drop back, if he needs to. More so from a defensive angle than an offensive one, which might have been the original plan.

Now it is probably up to UAE to start pushing it, if they are interested in doing so.

 

[D. Pecher]

What's the difference between a schloss and a chateau?

There is none - it's the same, but in different languages.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

one's french the other's german?

Was a bit of random Kirby-ism. "That chateau almost looks like a schloss".
