Tour de France Tour de France 2023, stage 17: Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc - Courchevel, 165.7k

[Salvarani]

Vinegegaard is barely coming closer to Gall.

The guys in front are faster than everyone in the peloton apart from Vingegaard.

Earpiece working today.

 

[titan31]

Vingegaard finally going now. Stage win could still be on

 

[Red Rick]

Tbh Gall may lose a decent cunk on the descent as well

 

[Tim Cahill]

Gall is cracked, not losing much time and he's been in the break all day

 

[bjaelkesex]

Yesterday was just recon for this ITT

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Everybody looks terrible here.

 

[RobertCrawley]

There is no point in talking to you.

Then you should stop and enjoy the race, as I am.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I think Vingo's TT broke Pog mentally as well.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Gall is cracked, not losing much time and he's been in the break all day

Shades of Rujano. Including the allround ability.

 

[Salvarani]

Then you should stop and enjoy the race, as I am.

You quoted me. Ignore me instead of responding.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Vingegaard finally going now. Stage win could still be on

2 minutes out. Not that likely.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

I think Vingo's TT broke Pog mentally as well.

Broke this forum as well.

 

[Trofonios]

Brutal climb.

 

[Didinho]

"Pog not good yesterday" come on lads, he buried 154 riders and just happened to come up against one of the most dominant TT performances in living memory.

Maybe he took a hit to morale, or dug too deep and he crashed today... But he didn't "look bad" yesterday.

He looked bad as in no grinta from corner 1. No enthousiasm like he always has. His legs were fine.

 

[RobertCrawley]

You quoted me. Ignore me instead of responding.

I'm not going to ignore you. I enjoy your responses to me.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Ouch:
Pog just now: "I'm gone. I'm dead."

 

[titan31]

2 minutes out. Not that likely.

It's possible. The top of this is super steep so if Gall and Yates tires, they'll lose a bit

 

[Salvarani]

Now the commentators mentioned Vingegaards insane test-results that he did as a teenager. It like it is in the memo for the stage for them. Thank you for explaining that.

 

[Cagalitroso]

I think Vingo's TT broke Pog mentally as well.

No doubt, this is not a physical debacle (Which I think is the biggest part) is a mental one. It's like Einstein discovering there is a smartest physicist out there.

 

[DrSahl]

I am gone, I am dead.. Said by Pogacar on the telecommunication.
Adam being told to go for the podium..

It is the first time I have heard Pogacar give up

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Everybody looks terrible here.

They've been going at it all race to a greater extent than anything we've seen since the 2018 Giro. Everyone was out of gas by the end of that one as well, although nobody has cracked quite as badly as Yates or Pinot yet.

 

[ppanther92]

For a guy winning so much, Pogacar is actually a super nice guy.

 

[Earns1985]

Would like to see A.Yates and Rodriguez now..

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Not what I expected...there is more wrong here than just a bad day.

"That's it, I'm dead." Though I don't cheer for him, that is sad to hear. Seeing anyone that broken is hard to watch.

 

[Finn84]

Vingegaard has taken about half a minute in one and half a kilometre.
