Tour de France Tour de France 2023, stage 16: Passy - Combloux, 22.4k (ITT)

[Trofonios]

Skjelmose 33s faster than Cavagna from 3rd to finish.

 

[Boehmand]

Van Aert without bike change, tells me Vingegaard won't change either.

 

[RedheadDane]

Trek Danes: We're just gonna take it easy.

Current top-3:

1	CAVAGNA Rémi	35.42		37.647
2	SKJELMOSE Mattias	35.57	0.15	37.385
3	PEDERSEN Mads	36.06	0.24	37.230

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Gall 15th at T1, miracles do happen.

He's actually on course to climb on GC...

 

[Samamba]

Gall 15th place first check, that already looks way better than in Suisse.

 

[Peter von]

I think the decision is made long ago, they are not going to change it in 3 minutes after seeing what Pogacar does.

I would hope not, even with practice these bike changes Carrie’s a risk of the mechanic fumbling; only giving him 2 mins to prepare would be crazy

 

[Peyroteo94]

Cavagna really thought he had a chance.

or he overcooked it... time will tell

 

[Netserk]

I have a tactic.

I'm going to run two gadgets, and pause one just as Pogacar starts. Then restart it as Vingegaard rolls down the ramp, and I have a head to head.

Why have I never thought of that before (when else has it been as poised as this?)

A few years ago you’d be able to select which camera bike to watch from. Would be even better then.

 

[glassmoon]

Wout 1st -15s

 

[Gigs_98]

I think Van Aert was still over 40 seconds slower than Ciccone on the climb. That time was really good.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Expected a little more from Van Aert tbh. Worse relative to Cavagna than on PdBF three years ago.

 

[FrontHeadlock]

WOUT

 

[ppanther92]

oh, damn!! Ciccone!!

Lol, all out for the climb.

 

[Boehmand]

Dennis Ritter just called Van Aert "The Belgian Bulldozer"

And then one of them will buffer in the first 30 seconds and you'll have no idea what's going on.

 

[Vesica]

what the heck. Tissot live timing is half a minute ahead on Sporza television...

what the heck. Tissot live timing is half a minute ahead on Sporza television...

Still better than what was going on at the Giro

 

[Sciatic]

Yates vs. Rodriquez result should be interesting here and may determine final podium spot.

 

[Tim Cahill]

What I really want is not for the tour to be decided head-to-head on the asphalt but on some minor bike change drama followed by years of tedious speculation.

2 seconds slower than Powless to be exact.

 

[DNP-Old]

Kuss is fast.

 

[glassmoon]

what the heck. Tissot live timing is half a minute ahead on Sporza television...

would be really strange if it was the other way around

 

[Gigs_98]

Man I am so excited for this
