Tour de France Tour de France 2023, stage 5: Pau - Laruns, 162.7k

Cavagna drilling it now, the front 3 look doomed on the Soudet.

 

[Boehmand]

Pedersen or his DS is so stupid. He should have been driving the group for Ciccine so they had more than 90s going into the climb

You don’t know if he is there for Ciccone, maybe they are both there for Skjelmose, so it’s about surviving Soudet for Pedersen, rather than positioning Ciccone.

 

[Salvarani]

Pedersen should just soft-pedal the rest of the stage. Let go.

 

[Didinho]

Co-leader Pogi bike change.

 

[Salvarani]

Cmon Cav. Take the wheel of Pog.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Pogi mechanical.

HIndley launching it on the Soudet would make me instantly revise my opinion of the 2022 Giro

I'd see that as an update on Hindley, not the 2022 Giro

A shame they haven't shown Jakobsen and Waerenskjold dropping on this climb, would be helpful to know where they are relative to the worst climbers who didn't crash.

Edit: ah, there he is. Definitely growing into the stage.

 

[JohnWayne]

He is not wrong.

Ackshually... he is. Soudet peaks at Soum de Soudet, roughly 100m north and two metres up from the road (Col de Soudet).

Pog having a quick chat with Cav.

Jakobsen is in the bunch.

 

[Salvarani]

Ala!

 

[Cagalitroso]

Pedersen nooooooo

 

[Pantani_lives]

Prediction: Van Aert takes five minutes in the break, and goes on to win the Tour.

It's happening! (Or is it?)

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogacar now on the bike with built in motor.

You will be banned. Just delete the post

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Alaphilippe attacking this early can only mean an epic bonk is imminent.

Ciccone is much better in the high mountains than Skejmose for this TDF.

 

[titan31]

No way Cav gets past the Alps in this form is there. Getting dropped way too early here

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

I really hope Hindley is going well, this has happened a lot in the past with riders and they just don't have it.

 

[johnymax]

What a waste of Pedersen...Trek, wtf were you thinking

 

[Salvarani]

Bandage bloody on Jacobsen... tough days for him.

 

[MartinGT]

Fabio OTL today? Looks in a world of pain.

That may be prove to be the case, but that is not what the team is banking on.

Looks way better than in the first hour.
