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

Vinge tried at the end, Pog finished ahead of him.

That was barely an attack. Went longer round the turn and then just looked at Pogacar as they were coming to the line. Man's head is so on a swivel he couldn't even ride through the line without looking at Pog.

Impressive ride by Craddock to finish 4th on a stage which I thought was beyond his capabilities.

 

[ciranda]

I have to admit it would be pretty funny if Pog was genuinely not feeling well & Grischa was on the radio screaming at Jonas "don't trust Pogi! He's bluffing!".

It could be a double bluff where Pog makes it look like he's really not feeling well so Jumbo think he's playing games... when in fact he's really not feeling well.

4D chess, TdF style.

No one are listening to/can even hear what DS's are saying in the last part of a race.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Imagine if Adam Yates podiums, he has looked stronger than Rodri despite also doing heavy work. How is Rodri at time trialing?

Very good, a little better than Yates I think, though Yates has been better this year, good results in Romandie and Dauphine.

He’s better than Yates but the TT has climb so let’s see

 

[awavey]

interesting interview with Pog, they tried to improvise something with Yates, to make Jonas go for it, as Pog didnt think the climb was tough enough to create a gap on his own.

whether thats down to he was feeling tired, or he felt Jonas was as strong as him is the unanswered bit, but sometimes I guess you have to try something different, given how many people think Jonas should have attacked at that point shows its not a completely daft idea, had Pog then been able to counter obviously and get his own gap.

 

[gunara]

anyone who can challenge in the high mountains, Tour of Flanders, and Roubaix.

maybe we just haven't seen everything from someone obvious

And yet is still in the leaders jersey… What a clown

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Dont think he is too scared to attack ...did it yesterday

Team have a plan just like last year to tire Pog out and then pounce. And Vinge has made no secret of the fact he think the last week is his battleground

Help my memory, when exactly did Vingegaard attack Pogacar yesterday? You mean when he jumped him for the KOM?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Vingo's message in post-race interview to fans - stay off the road, don't throw beer on us, and don't punch us either! Otherwise be nice and enjoy the race.

I’d love to see Pog for Roubaix but he’d have to not target the Tour that year, big difference between Ronde and Roubaix

He could feasibly do a year trying to win all the monuments as he's a contender in all of them imo, and just do the Vuelta as your GT.

 

[Leinster]

Same here on the West Coast

Got it on the iPad, but the Peacock app on my tv went down. Watching on a 13” screen never as fun as 39.

I would genuinely love to see a rider do that, in the modern era

He was 4th in last year's Vuelta TT, after Remco, Roglic and Cavagna

Are you sure? Last time they faced each other in a TT (Itzulia Basque Country, stage 1) Yates did better by a good margin.

Tbf 10 seconds is really nothing. That's bonus seconds as a gap.

Difficult to compare since Adam didn't participate.

 

[D. Pecher]

Adrien Petit for combatif. Very nice from the jury.

But Simon was there. How does Adam compare to Simon?

I hope you mean 3D, because otherwise they could just ride through the mountains instead of over them

Also the TV signal has a delay, to the DS can't watch what is going on real time from the car.

The comparison is between Adam Yates and Rodriguez.

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

Ratio

STOP PULLING POELS. ! FFS what's he doing

You may use a third man as a reference if no direct comparison is avaliable.

 

[postmanhat]

Adam yates better as Dom than riding for himself...We see that sometimes as the goal is clearer and the mental pressure less

Simon now needs to go work for one of the top GC riders and he will probably do better

Yes, Simon should have left Jayco a couple of years ago at least. He's too comfortable there and nothing's really changing for him. Needed a new environment to possibly bring out the best in him during his peak years. Probably too late now unfortunately.
