Tour de France Tour de France 2023, stage 21: Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines - Paris, 115.1k

[Tim Cahill]

Pogacar fanboys developing Jumbo-Visma derangement syndrome. You've got to love it.

Don't really like either of them but Van Hooydonck marking the rider 7 minutes behind is just miserable racing

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Vingo just biding his time, then he'll unleash his TT Watts

I'd like to imagine he'll do a Wiggins and try and lead out Laporte.

 

[titan31]

Every team bar Alpecin should be attacking all over the place.

 

[RedheadDane]

I'd like to imagine he'll do a Wiggins and try and lead out Laporte.

I think Jumbo are just gonna chill at the back.

 

[yaco]

Saw a suggestion somewhere, that maybe there should be a rule change so that if you've won a GT, you can no longer win white.

Or you can only win the white jersey once.

 

[Didinho]

The odds of a Sagan victory here are not zero.

 

[Grayguard]

I think Vingegaard gets too much criticism for being boring, but in comparison to Pogacar he really is.

Well, when Vinge is not boring. he gets a completely different kind of criticism.... There's no winning, is there?

 

[dgodave]

Did anyone else see that gigantique chateau earlier??? I think it was called V... something.

 

[Salvarani]

He tried again!

 

[Andy262]

Just gotta love Pog entertaining the crowds

 

[Didinho]

He tried again!

He’s still gonna solo the last km. Alpecin and Jayco will be dead.

 

[GroupDK]

You can tell that Pogacar is just so much stronger than everyone else, even on flat roads. Ridiculous power this man have

insuniating clinic power? nahh.. Pogacar is a great rider, not the best GC, but one of the best, definately..

Just gotta love Pog entertaining the crowds

Having a rider attacking on the flat. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it - so entertaining!

 

[SHAD0W93]

If Pog is able to keep up his energy, the attacks are weakening the leadout.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Simon Clarke has an engine.

 

[bob.a.feet]

Well, when Vinge is not boring. he gets a completely different kind of criticism.... There's no winning, is there?

I mean, personally, I am not going to criticise Vingegaard for attacking and destroying the field as he did on Marie Blanque and Loze.

 

[slim charles]

Well, when Vinge is not boring. he gets a completely different kind of criticism.... There's no winning, is there?

I mean, he kinda shares that destiny with literally every athlete that ever existed.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

The odds of a Sagan victory here are not zero.

Kinda sad how his road racing just sort of fizzled out, hopefully he'll be able to accomplish his goals in MTB next year at the Olympics.

 

[Aimar16]

I'd like to imagine he'll do a Wiggins and try and lead out Laporte.

I doubt it. They didn't even try to win the stage last year when WvA was in the green

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Alaphilippe really loves looking like a jackass.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Teddy wouldn't be himself if he didn't try something on Champs Elysees! He was just testing Vinge a bit (his blood alcohol content). JV was right: it's not over until Teddy is on the bus home.

 

[The Clogger]

I mean, personally, I am not going to criticise Vingegaard for attacking and destroying the field as he did on Marie Blanque and Loze.

Nah, that's boring. Too many watts. Only Pogacar must attack, or else it isn't entertaining.

 

[Valv.Piti]

insuniating clinic power? nahh.. Pogacar is a great rider, not the best GC, but one of the best, definately..

No Im not insinuating anything you bonobo

And yes, of course he's the strongest and best rider in the world. Thats obvious to everyone who watches cycling.

 

[GroupDK]

Well, when Vinge is not boring. he gets a completely different kind of criticism.... There's no winning, is there?

Some people see things in very black or white perspective.often fronting an almost Dunning Kruger like mindset..
Not least when it comes to someting as relative as "sport".. if you like somebody, footballteam, person, etc ..some small minded people will ofte try to hate or tarnish the ther part, as some weird aspect of showing loyality or devotion to their team, person etc.
Its fascinating to see the intense hate some people can stomp up, out of nothing, because of "sport".

 

[RobertCrawley]

I was hopeful Pidders would make a charge at the podium, but he fell back. Any chance he improves and threatens the top of the GC in the future?
