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

How do you let Hindley in the break on the flat?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Marc Soler has snuck himself into the move

 

[Elos Anjos]

People mocke me for years because I see how stupid this guy is and they are blind to it. He shouldn't be in the Jumbo tdf team, he's a liability

Because you are mockable

 

[RobertCrawley]

"Let me tell you something brother, I'm gonna enter the breakaway and fight for both the sprint points, KoM points and the stage win, cause that's what the fans and the sponsors wanna see, brother."

Wout so selfish.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Pedersen going full untill the sprint. Alpecin wants to defend the green jersey, what are they doing here.

Nah, he has Ciccone also there, so he's gonna ride for him on the flat, they then still have JuaPe for the climbs to support Ciccone.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

no I think its brilliant to pull the group with Hindley. just completely push UAE to the limit and f*ck them together with the Bora and Lidl guys. Hindley and ciccone are not a threat to Jonas.

You still don’t want to give Hindley too much time. He’s not a major threat, but he’s still won a grand tour!

Bora disrupting the chase too. This is great

 

[Peyroteo94]

Hindley can gain 5 minutes and he still will lose the Tour

 

[titan31]

Is Bernal in that group too? PCS has it as Martinez and Fraile

 

[KOM]

Hindley can gain 5 minutes and he still will lose the Tour

Well yes, but people not named Pogacar and Vingegaard getting 5minutes on them still makes for a much better race than if they didnt

 

[Tim Cahill]

UAE should just bluff, what are Jumbo gonna do let reigning Giro champion get 10 minutes, they're the favourites in the race.

 

[KOM]

Is Bernal in that group too? PCS has it as Martinez and Fraile

Ineos telling their guys to wake up on the radio so probably no Bernal in front

 

[Reynard]

oh that chase from Laengen not looking good. if they don't get any help and the break doesn't sabotage itself 8which its might) that will be a hard stage

 

[DNP-Old]

It's 100% Dani.

 

[Mayomaniac]

On this route? I don't know...
Giving him and Ciccone minutes is risky...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Assuming the gap isn't closed before then, I fully expect Pogacar to try and close it himself on Soudet.

 

[KOM]

Van Aert, Hindley, Buchmann, Ciccone seem to be the guys under 1min in gc in the group.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

I like trolling WVA but you gotta blame the team car for that (same for UAE). How the feck do you let Hindley join a breakaway and pull along?

 

[Elos Anjos]

Stars & Stripes torn apart, great political performance by Quinn Simmons.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Looks like Simmons lost plenty of skin there,

 

[RobertCrawley]

Captain America down. Looked like a touch of the wheel.

 

[dazaau]

Hindley can gain 5 minutes and he still will lose the Tour

I wouldn't be sure about that at all. There are no real TTs and the boy can climb when he is on it.

 

[Didinho]

I see no one from Alpecin?

 

[Bolder]

Hindley can gain 5 minutes and he still will lose the Tour

I wouldn't give him 5 minutes, maybe 1'30.

I don't think this group will keep pushing on. Too many hitchhikers.
