Tour de France Tour de France 2023, stage 2: Vitoria-Gasteiz - Donostia/San Sebastián, 208.9k

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Doesn’t make sense for Vingo to ride, but it would be a lot more fun if he did

If they go to the line together he only loses 4, if it’s a big group he might lose 10, right?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Perfectly fine for Pogacar to dangle in front, can choose his own lines which is a little safer.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Please can we have another Yates showdown.

The twins add such an element of excitement and brotherly competition, I love it!

 

[DNP-Old]

Van Aert to lose the sprint to Pidcock.

 

[ppanther92]

I would have worked if I'm Vingegaard.

I get why he doesn't. But would be funny now if Pogacar still wins and Vingegaard loses 10 instead of 4 now.

 

[Boehmand]

This is the coolest start to a Tour - ever

 

[QueenStagiaire]

PelloBilbao attacks the downhill.

 

[Scarponi]

This is the coolest start to a Tour - ever

Crazy isn’t it, not watching a 200km flat

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bizarre that Van Aert is working rather than Kelderman or Kuss.

 

[search]

Bettiol(!!!) still there.

yep, Aranburu is one group behind, with O'Connor, Meintjes, G. Martin and Kuss

 

[ppanther92]

Adam Yates even still in? Should be but he really dropped like a stone there when Simon attacked. Ah, yeah, there he is.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Beautiful pictures going into San Sebastian.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Come on, Wout; let my Pello go!

 

[KZD]

Bilbao with a descent masterclass.

 

[RedheadDane]

Come on, Pello! Do it for Gino.

 

[StryderHells]

Bilbao with a descent masterclass.

It’s beautiful to watch

 

[Tim Cahill]

Why are so many teams changing their usual recognisable jerseys for the most visible race in the world.

 

[Boehmand]

Bilbao is going to dive bomb the descent

 

[ppanther92]

I actually had some hopes for Alaphilippe but he is just weak this Tour as well. Those two stages should be perfect for him.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Is the motor driver Basque too?

 

[postmanhat]

Van Aert to lose the sprint to Pidcock.

That would be a surprise for me. Think he's only done one decent sprint in the last year or so?

 

[Miha81]

Pello doing Mohoric style

 

[Boehmand]

But sucks to look over your shoulder, and see Van Aert on your wheel

 

[Lequack]

Who is Wout working for?

 

[Potomac]

how far back to alaphiippe.... the world wants to know!
