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

[SarahtheDane]

The Tour needs this to be a Vingegaard pacing blunder like the Dauphine

Or he could just do a claasic danish gc rider tt (see Riis, Rasmussen). Hope not!

 

[perico]

Jonas Vingestrong

 

[bjaelkesex]

For how nervous Vingegaard can be in road stages he seems fearless descending on his own.

He's desperately trying to get (back) onto Tadej's wheel.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Very relaxing day for vinegard yesterday. Put alarm on snooze for sure

 

[meat puppet]

Think Vingo will suffer hard on the climb with this start.

Think he is gonna take off with shock wave diamonds coming out of his ass

 

[RobertCrawley]

Jonas Vingestrong

Please.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Vingo doing a Kung?

 

[Eclipse]

eugh vingeghoul klling the race in the most boring manner

 

[Boehmand]

Danish TV2 has a car following right behind the Jumbo car, driven by a Danish DS, he said on the descent they were driving 110 kph, and Vingegaard vanished from them

 

[StryderHells]

This is some thermonuclear sh!t from both of them...how can Jonas not blow up?

We might meet in the Clinic after this TT if he holds this pace

 

[Berniece]

Vingegaard should ride WC ITT, could easily put everyone on 2min apparently

 

[RedheadDane]

He's desperately trying to get (back) onto Tadej's wheel.

Dammit! Dammit! He's two minutes ahead of me! Dammit!

 

[Moondance]

Wouldn't want to be one of the Fishmonger's loved ones watching him descend completely on the edge my god. I'm finding it scary enough

 

[Tim Cahill]

Simon Yates riding a magical tt and about to lose by 2 minutes

 

[Red Rick]

VIngegaard isn't even the craziest thing

Kuss doing a decent T1-T2 split is.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

I think the bike change, if Pog does it, will not help him time wise.

 

[dazaau]

This is going so fast the stage is going too fast for me to keep up with

 

[Danskebjerge]

why?

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

cycling is more than skeletons climbing 10+% gradients.

You're writing about mountains, I'm saying climbs. Climbs (and cobbles etc) add to the variation of a route. All flat TT's don't really make sense nowadays since the riders are so good at pacing. Climbs, on the other hand, don't mean that Küng and other TT specialists lose out, but it means more suspense during the race.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Tour is over guys. Vingegaard is a madman today

 

[Casper96]

Vingo going full Oppenheimer.

But it might mean he goes full Barbie after the last checkpoint.

 

[GroupDK]

He certainly takes those corners like hw owns them..what a blast & joy to see the Yellow jersey fight like his life depended on it. // 30sec gap now.

What? You don't know the name of Moberg, TV2's very own redheaded Dane?

 

[madthebad]

Ok, Hering boy is taking the piss already.

 

[ppanther92]

Vingegaard should ride WC ITT, could easily put everyone on 2min apparently

If he turns up in Tour shape he obviously can win a WC ITT. Has proven that last year already.

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