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

[Moondance]

Well colour me surprised. I thought the 'Pog will change bikes' thing was total smokescreen but the madlads did it

 

[glassmoon]

31s plus 10s at least due to bike change... lets see how the climb will go

 

[DrSahl]

Bike change a good idea, I think...

Time will tell. I am not sure it is a good tactic

 

[Boehmand]

No bike change for Vingegaard, his spare TT bike is on the right side on the car, question is how much he loses to Pogacar on the climb.

Meanwhile stellar time for Gaudu at the finish.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Imagine getting caught by Gaudu in a TT.

 

[dazaau]

Fly up the hill pogi! Like skelmosa at the dauphine make it up on the climb!

 

[RobertCrawley]

I wish those fans would stay back.

There's no moto in front to part the seas.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Car is max 10 meters behind him

 

[Big Doopie]

vingo generally more aero.

 

[StryderHells]

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.

Have a prologue and a hilly TT

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Pogacar look like he's lacking punch today

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Forum meltdown.

 

[Samamba]

Pog just doesn't look good honestly

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic would win this ITT

Roglic would be 15th at T2 and then get 3rd

 

[postmanhat]

Guilliame, it was really nothing.

 

[ontheroad]

Pog actually puitting in a great performance in normal circumstances, Vingegaard is just other worldly, commentators are a bit speechless.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Vingegaard sleeps in the rest day, Pogi does backflips. This TT shows something

 

[StryderHells]

Quality ride by Yates

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

No bike change for Vingegaard, his spare TT bike is on the right side on the car, question is how much he loses to Pogacar on the climb.

Meanwhile stellar time for Gaudu at the finish.

I think the question is IF he will lose time on the climb

 

[Boehmand]

All the GC riders are killing it on this TT.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Simon Philip genuinely great ride

 

[Red Rick]

Pog changed bikes for a 6 minute section where it actually helps you.

 

[Zoophonic]

50 seconds gap. Hell

 

[GroupDK]

latest 50 sec

Forum meltdown.

Tbf, whatever about what he's doing to Pogacar, what he's doing to the rest is the insane part here. He could be 80 seconds ahead of 3rd by the end
