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

[RobertCrawley]

sad that it's already down to 3 possible winners. Was hoping it would be more exciting

That's a big climb up Ricky Gervais Mont Blanc. I can see the three in front getting caught.

Who had MvDP with the GC group at 23km to go?

The chasers are betting that the 3 ahead are going to burn themselves out, but it's going to be close if they get any more time...

 

[Boehmand]

Isn’t Poels a legit climber? I remember him pulling in a way that Kuss did, back in his Sky days.
In any way, I predict Wout will win this bike race

Yes, he's won LBL, Ruta del Sol and mountain stages in Dauphine, TR and PN.

At one point people talked about him as a potential GT GC rider.

Good strategy. Gives you a 2/3 chance of being right.




(Not gonna use percentages here.)

As I saw it, Neilands misjudged the turn, while the moto did not, to he got himself tangled in the front wheel.

I didnt think the moto touched the bike, it looked to me on the replay like Neilands was over reaching, and just had his front wheel tuck under on him.

whether because he hit a bump, was trying to brake/steer with one hand at the time, saw the moto line was different to his, saw the wall approaching, who knows. I think if the moto had taken him out he'd have reacted far more angrily towards the moto rider than he did

Say *** what?!

 

[Boehmand]

Skjelmose moving up ahead of the descent, he may give it a go on the downhill

 

[Ilmaestro99]

WTF is Woet Poels doing???? He's got Landa behind and he is pacing Soler and Belgian pozzato. What an idiot. Bahrain need to sack this guy ASAP, unforgivable. What a joke

 

[RedheadDane]

Wout getting a gap!

 

[Volderke]

That moto is generating tons of draft for the chasers.

 

[Boehmand]

But tell us how you really feel?

He’s the best climber. I expect him to immediately distance soler and Wva on the 12-16% slopes coming in 3-4 kms.

 

[Boehmand]

Martin pulled a Cartman

 

[RedheadDane]

Guillaume, where you going?

 

[Salvarani]

G. Martin... but at least he didnt crash.

 

[Volderke]

Soler dropped.

Martin doing a small Voeckler impression.

They might have been using the Giro as a template. This is only stage 15, the Giro hadn't started racing by then.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Soler dropped.

Martin doing a small Voeckler impression.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

STOP PULLING POELS. ! FFS what's he doing

 

[Aimar16]

Neilands returns to Ciccone's group? How badly are they going

 

[awavey]

and here on your left is the ancient Mont Blanc helicopter car park...

 

[meat puppet]

UAE and jumbo trains to carpet bomb the steep part

 

[Volderke]

STOP PULLING POELS. ! FFS what's he doing

Again, read what I wrote. Poels will win this bike race.

 

[Tim Cahill]

He has underestimated Wout Poels here
