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

[hfer07]

Vingegaard just went full ultra instinct

 

[Trofonios]

Vinge had this course nailed down. He rode like he was posesssed through the corners and downhill.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Time gap as a % of winning time today - 5.01%
Time gap as a % of winning time when Indurain won by 3 minutes - 3.77%
Time gap as a % of winning time when Ullrich won by 3 minutes - 4.01%

Forget what I said earlier, this is the most insane TT performance in history, and possibly more insane than any non-TT performance too.

 

[skippo12]

That was an insane performance by Vingo, reminded me of Pogacar on PDBF.

Insane gaps

Pog himself had a PDBF level TT. Putting minutes into anyone else. Vingo´s TT is unlike anything I have ever seen. Only thing that comes close in my lifetime was Ullrich´s St. Etienne TT in 1997.
Probably the most impressive TT performance I have ever seen.

 

[Divergence]

The shoe is on the other foot now for Pog

 

[Bolder]

He can focus on whatever he wants. Vingo is just unbeatable. This result would destroy prime Froome

Merckxian

 

[RobertCrawley]

lets hope the race now calms down.

That makes the rest a little anticlimactic. Now Jonas' only task is to follow Pogi's wheel.

 

[DaveJones2]

Difficult to align the two relative performances today with the last 1.5 weeks racing. Pog clearly didn't actually have an "off day" so where has this insane disparity come from in 2 days?

 

[StryderHells]

Roglic got 5th or something. Pogacar humiliated the competition by over 1:20 when everyone else was within seconds. Those two are not the same.

Fair point

 

[dobrien]

Vinge had this course nailed down. He rode like he was posesssed through the corners and downhill.

He was absolutely brilliant technically, for sure.

 

[Salvarani]

He can focus on whatever he wants. Vingo is just unbeatable. This result would destroy prime Froome

Good for Pog he already has two Tour wins.

Giro it is and Vinge can toy with Remco + Ayuso next time.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

OMG! Most ridiculous TT I've seen. Teddy basically crushed the rest like at PDBF but at the same time was annihilated by Skeletor! The gaps are insane and the race is over.

 

[tobydawq]

We're all Van Aert and Dumoulin today.

 

[Gigs_98]

The gap from Vingegaard to Van Aert was bigger than the one from Van Aert to 50th place. Insane

 

[Ulle97]

Indurain-level beat down.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

If you're a Vingo fan, this is a day to celebrate.
If you're a cycling fan, this is a day to either laugh or cry for the sport.

 

[glassmoon]

Pog's ride was nuclear, Vingo's was thermonuclear...

 

[Boehmand]

We are in for quite a stage tomorrow.

Pogacar and UAE will HAVE to try something early.

No more waiting for the last 2 Ks of the last mountain

 

[RobertCrawley]

Vinge had this course nailed down. He rode like he was posesssed through the corners and downhill.

He had obviously practiced it many times on the trainer. He raged through those corners.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Roglic got 5th or something. Pogacar humiliated the competition by over 1:10 when everyone else was within seconds. Those two are not the same.

Yeah, what the hell, Roglic was terrible in 2020, Pogacar was really good.

 

[HelloDolly]

Yeah, he is beating Van aert by 1 minute and just caught Rodriguez. Give me a break mate, this is Armstrong level what Vingegaard is doing today.

Pog and Vinge have been neck and neck for over 2 weeks ....Vinge is the better TTer but not by this much hence I think Pog is tired

And I am not your mate mate

 

[Escarabajo]

Nobody can… in this thread.

I can't in the other either!

 

[hondated]

I really can't take this race seriously. Hope Vingo is questioned forever. LMAO

Very worrying 🤔

 

[Boehmand]

If you're a Vingo fan, this is a day to celebrate.
If you're a cycling fan, this is a day to either laugh or cry for the sport.

Why?

 

[Poursuivant]

Time Gap between 1st and 3rd was the same as the gap between 3rd and 50th.
