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

[Riek s]

3rd: WVA - 2m51
20th: Rui Costa 4m02

 

[Boehmand]

This makes 2020 TT look average. Pogi destroyed everyone. And Jonas obliterated Pog.

Probably all the same crybabies referred to the clinic then too

 

[madthebad]

I bet Lance Armstrong is jealous, mad but also proud of what he saw today. Well done boys 2023 is the new 2003.

 

[StryderHells]

That’s a lovely pool

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Pogacar took more than 1min to WVA's time, almost catch Carlos Rodriguez who went 2minutes before and still Vingegaard managed to win the TimeTrial by almost 2 minutes...
It's impossible to not think of doping...
RIP Cycling

New to watching cycling, I see.

 

[dobrien]

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

It sure doesn't look like there is going to be anything they can do; they'll try but I don't see Ving magically collapsing tomorrow, or any day. He's just way too strong.

 

[Cagalitroso]

LOL, this is like winning the 100m in the olympics by half a second hahhahaha

 

[StryderHells]

I bet Lance Armstrong is jealous, mad but also proud of what he saw today. Well done boys 2023 is the new 2003.

Jonas has more Tours than lance

 

[postmanhat]

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.

That's astonishing given that Indurain was a TT rider who could climb very well. Whereas Jonas has been the opposite till today?

 

[BigCoward]

JV has to try and do the Giro tour double. Clearly he is the best grand tour rider in the world and his recovery is off the charts. And then at least he might be a bit tired for the tour to make it worth watching

 

[gunara]

I'd hope the opposite. He cedes the Tour to Jonas and goes after everything else. He's a lot of fun in the one day races.

Will be a great Tour with Jonas without Pog

 

[rallybanana]

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

I'm sorry you can't dream big

 

[Phillip O'Garner]

You have absolutely no evidence for making that statement.

So you don't think it was a clinical performance?

 

[Elos Anjos]

The Tour was acceptable until this ITT. The gaps are just too unbelievable. People were saying that Pog would dominate for years to come and were happy with Vingo coming to add some rivalry, but now there is literally a monster in town.

 

[Boehmand]

I bet Lance Armstrong is jealous, mad but also proud of what he saw today. Well done boys 2023 is the new 2003.

So Pogacar is Ullrich?

 

[FrontHeadlock]

Pogacar took more than 1min to WVA's time, almost catch Carlos Rodriguez who went 2minutes before and still Vingegaard managed to win the TimeTrial by almost 2 minutes...
It's impossible to not think of doping...
RIP Cycling

Well, but if 1 than both, no?

 

[Ricco']

Send this man to Glasgow

 

[Gigs_98]

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

Vingegaard destroyed Van Aert like Van Aert destroyed u Arélien Paret-Peintre...

 

[Stringerbellisnotdead]

Someone earlier in this thread said that this is what people think PDBF ITT was. Pog had a really good (though not great by his standards) time trial, Jonas was just out of this world. Can you imagine if this ITT was actually 40-50km long? I don't even want to lol.

Reckon how much time Tadej lost because of a bike change? Commentators in my country were very critical of it.

 

[RobertCrawley]

So you don't think it was a clinical performance?

Of course not.

 

[SHAD0W93]

At least the fans didn’t cause a crash, they got close a couple times and someone had to pull their friend out of Vinge’s way.

 

[Cagalitroso]

JV has to try and do the Giro tour double. Clearly he is the best grand tour rider in the world and his recovery is off the charts. And then at least he might be a bit tired for the tour to make it worth watching

Forget that, triple crown 2024 or bust...the SKY (get it?) is the limit

 

[Boehmand]

It sure doesn't look like there is going to be anything they can do; they'll try but I don't see Ving magically collapsing tomorrow, or any day. He's just way too strong.

I agree on the outcome, but Pogacar is not one to go away quietly, it will be highly entertaining for sure.

 

[DrSahl]

GC now

The only good thing about this, is that we will see something crazy and daring from UAE tomorrow with a Pogacar evolving into something much more scary, than ever seen before or well.. a Pogacar that gets cooked.. Both could be good television.

 

[Gigs_98]

Next year the ASO will make a route to give Remco a chance and hence doesn't include any TTs
