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

[ppanther92]

Both Pog and Vingegaard looked nervous on the start ramp.

Who wouldn't be though?

 

[Vesica]

Vingegaard already won 5 secs in the first corner

 

[SarahtheDane]

Both Pog and Vingegaard looked nervous on the start ramp.

I would be too

 

[RobertCrawley]

Watch out for Simon Yates. He looks like he's jets today.

 

[StryderHells]

Vingo rolled out looking like an angry bullet train

With a ugly coloured helmet, unsettling coloured might be a better way to describe it.

 

[ppanther92]

Gall still ok at 16km. Positively surprised so far.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Nuclear S Yates time trial coming up. Shame he was quite bad in the Alps so far.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Wout uses bigtime negative splits to take the lead.

 

[StryderHells]

Watch out for Simon Yates. He looks like he's jets today.

Ever since Jayco switched to Giant Bikes Yates has done well in the TT

 

[Big Doopie]

All TT's should have climbs.

why?

why not have every single stage be a mountain stage while you are at it?

cycling is more than skeletons climbing 10+% gradients.

 

[Didinho]

20sec ahead after 4km lol.

 

[Red Rick]

Joke is on us when they both completely blow up.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Graphic surely wrong, he's not gone 10% faster than WVA on the flat

 

[Boehmand]

I don't think we should put too much stock into the first 2 time checks.

The TT will be decided on who has the most left on the climb, and if either has gone too deep early, he can lose massively on the climb.

 

[Gigs_98]

Lmao both already 20s up. Sure, why not.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

20sec ahead after 4km lol.

Vingegaard only took 3 kms

 

[SarahtheDane]

Joke is on us when they both completely blow up.

If one does, I hope both do.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Is it really too much to ask to show us Yates and Rodriguez' intermediates?

 

[ppanther92]

Lmao both already 20s up. Sure, why not.

But seriously - is someone questioning that they both will completely destroy the field today? Question is rather the direct comparison.

 

[Boehmand]

why not have every single stage be a mountain stage while you are at it?

Great idea!

 

[Peyroteo94]

People forget that Pogi and Vinge are way better climbers than WVA. They will gain a minute today to WVA

 

[RobertCrawley]

Split screen. See, French television, you can show GC and stage race.

 

[ontheroad]

These times are insane.

 

[FrontHeadlock]

I agree. Gotta have at least 1 TT for the true TT guys.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

German television seems to have live comparison between Pog and Vingegaard but its kinda all over the place. apparently Pog was ahead by 5s and now Vingegaard ahead by 10s??
