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

Ib4 Wout somehow takes the yellow jersey and this ends up being a big brain move, because now everyone has to work for him.

 

[Didinho]

Team Soler to save the day!

 

[Mayomaniac]

If you only watched the Giro 2022 then I'm totally with you that was a bad performance and judgement. Today isn't and Buchmann was very loyal and helpful as a helper since 2015 is career really started.

I'm not mad at people pointing out wrong behaviour or egoistic tactics, but the hate against Buchmann is completely based on one race and one stage. Kämna was also riding very egoistic in the Giro and was useless outside of the penultimate stage - no criticism here - and that's because some people are just spreading just stupid takes that get parotted by people who don't know better.

If Buchmann does nothing on Marie Blanque to help Hindley I will be also very critical of him and the team that allows such a behaviour but nothing up until know let me think that this will be the way.

That's a fair take.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Is Soler grimacing because of the effort or because he's having to domestique duties?

 

[ontheroad]

Hindley could gain around 30 seconds today and more on some of the lesser GC contenders, it was a great move regardless.

stop calling criticism hate.

Even if he gets caught, he tried to take on the big 2 which is enjoyable to watch.

WvA is a strange rider. Why is he doing the things he does?

WvA is a strange rider. Why is he doing the things he does?

Nervous about the baby on its way?

 

[Elos Anjos]

In the scale of 1 to Soler, how *** was WVA?

 

[glassmoon]

WvA is a strange rider. Why is he doing the things he does?

To avoid doing things he doesn't want to do...

 

[dazaau]

As an Aussie I would like to thank Ineos and Ag2R. So good

 

[Peyroteo94]

WvA is a strange rider. Why is he doing the things he does?

Too much power. He doesn't know what to do

 

[glassmoon]

Uran still subpar

 

[Reynard]

Ag2r shredding it really great work from that team. Gall must feel fantastic. Maybe Ciccone and Hindley can't hold his wheel

 

[Lequack]

Hindley could gain around 30 seconds today and more on some of the lesser GC contenders, it was a great move regardless.

He will gain at least 1:30 today. Good luck to Jumbo and UAE to take that time back. And with the added power of the yellow jersey it's not going to happen.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Okay, so what does a shot of the peloton cost? Very weird coverage right now.

 

[Salvarani]

Gall is a monster

 

[Peyroteo94]

He will gain at least 1:30 today. Good luck to Jumbo and UAE to take that time back.

The TT will be enough

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Gall is legit.

 

[Reynard]

Buchmann done should have pulled earlier I admit it. But that was crazy from Berthet.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Gall and Hindley are the perfect duo to make a deal.

 

[StryderHells]

He will gain at least 1:30 today. Good luck to Jumbo and UAE to take that time back.

I think that could be taken back

 

[perico]

Rabofail incoming or did they ask WVA to sit up and wait for Jonas? Giving Hindley this much time is crazy

 

[Gigs_98]

I mean this should be the easiest decision for the front two in their lives, right? They work together, Hindley gets yellow, Gall gets the stage.
