Tour de France Tour de France 2023, stage 19: Moirans-en-Montagne - Poligny, 172.8k

Blocking the road is not smart, it is ludicrous and should be a banable offense.

They have let go a large group of more than 20 people. Those who wanted to go to the break are now there. Time to take a little rest for peloton. I think everyone is happy with that.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Are some of the minor teams handing the stage win to Philipsen?

That's not up to them to decide.

 

[Didinho]

This is shaping up for a long solo win with the group 2 tactics behind. I’m hoping for Mathieu to go ballistic on the climb.

I don't know or why you let Philipsen in a break.

 

[Aimar16]

Circus...

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Simon Clarke is in this race???

 

[Didinho]

I don't know or why you let Philipsen in a break.

They just think it’s some Bora guy.

 

[DNP-Old]

I don't know or why you let Philipsen in a break.

It's because of the intermediate sprint in Ney, after which Jumbo decided to block off the road with 5 men on a road about 2 meters wide.

Only chance is Zimmermann nuking him on the cat 3 climb

Vingegaard is not happy

 

[RobertCrawley]

On these narrow roads downhill, maybe we'll see another break.

 

[Samamba]

Looks like Lotto being tactically good just lasted one day.

Vingegaard is not happy

Vingegaard should tone it down a bit, unless he wants to get piss thrown on him for the next years (no I obv dont condone that)

 

[Danskebjerge]

Surely Uno-X and Israel only have one rider left with just a little power after this relentless chasing.

He has a bit of a sense of entitlement, hasn't he? Same goes for Philipsen and his Armstrong memorial antics.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Jumbo-Visma should have read the headlines yesterday - to avoid bad press today.

 

[VorstM]

Surely Uno-X and Israel only have one rider left with just a little power after this relentless chasing.

Which is 1 more compared to the situation before they chased.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Jumbo-Visma should have read the headlines yesterday - to avoid bad press today.

They have to keep their guy safe in front. That's all this is about.

 

[Samamba]

Campenaerts obviously just going for another combativité.

In this case I understand him. ICW was stupid.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Why does Vingegaard care, nobody who is any sort of a threat is going, just let 60 men up the road with a 25 minute gap, don't even bother following IWG just let them off the front

 

[Sciatic]

Just tuned in with 60 Km to go and see something interesting must have happened, because the time graphics show time gaps for the front groups, peloton and “2eme peloton”. What fractured the race today?

 

[D. Pecher]

Campenaerts obviously just going for another combativité.

My vote would go to Politt - coming back after such an untimely mechanical deserves a reward.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Chasing isn't just mathematics, it's also having a plan.
