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

[Samamba]

Pogacar losing time on the rest so yeah Vingegaard just on another planet

 

[Salvarani]

JV probably banked on not repeating the mistakes in the ITT again.

Maybe Pog/UAE puts in monster performance tomorrow. One could hope for the race not to be over after today.

Vinge super-strong. Looks unbeatable.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

A rumble like an earthquake. Vingo fears nothing in the corners.
But I'm as much at the edge of my couch as like his attack at 1st stage ITT last year, Vingo risking it all through fast, wet corners even at cobblestones.
So have to remind myself that it's not a new 'thing' for him. But even then, he he has fully activated my nerves.
And I've even only been watching since Pogi left the ramp few moments ago.

Blowing away the best cyclist in the world like this - makes you wonder if we are watching reality here.

 

[Red Rick]

Pog lost a chunk to Cavagna on T2.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pogacar losing time to Cavagna between T1 and T2.

 

[Gigs_98]

That's still a great time by Pogacar tbh

 

[glassmoon]

Pog swapping!

Vingo -31s at split 2

 

[Tim Cahill]

Decent bike change

 

[Red Rick]

Pog probably tried to get some recovery on the T2.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Bike change!

 

[ppanther92]

Pog lost a chunk to Cavagna on T2.

Thats somehow what I would expect from the 60-65kg climbers on the flat though.

 

[postmanhat]

Can only hope Tom Dumoulin is watching the screen with WVA at the finish.

 

[Melo]

Holy ***, Vingegaard is absolutely flying!

 

[Samamba]

31 seconds.... Well I think this is done

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Up to 31 seconds... Pogacar needs an insane climb.

 

[StryderHells]

This is Volta level TT’ing.

This Tour is fun

 

[Savant12]

Pog: Remember that La Planche des Belles Filles time trial I did?
Vingo: Hold my time trial bike.

 

[Potomac]

I thought it would be closer.

 

[Bolder]

Bike change a good idea, I think...

 

[Salvarani]

If they are within a minute going into tomorrow. Things can still happen.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

JFC, this is insane so far!!

 

[Danskebjerge]

Nothing wrong with a flat TT, same with a flat stage. We should have variety in GT routes

Totally flat stages are boring per se, there should be some variation to possibly change the momentum. We're not talking about mountains, as the strawman above suggested. There is loads of room for climbs in TT's. Just see how well Asgreen and Pedersen are doing today - both pretty bad climbers.

 

[ppanther92]

That's still a great time by Pogacar tbh

Yes but in all honesty - I don't see any scenario of Pogacar taking 1 minute plus on Vingegaard tomorrow. Really hoped it still would be seconds.

 

[StryderHells]

Good ride Gaudu
