Tour de France Tour de France 2023, stage 6: Tarbes - Cauterets-Cambasque, 144.9k

[Netserk]

Wout should lower the pace. He won’t get caught before the top anyway.

 

[Scarponi]

I do love the imagery of TJV leading both groups on the road

Winning both GTs , stage races and monuments .

 

[Barnacle Bill]

WVA pulling the entire break for most of the stage is insane.

And not making it easy for the others in there, not many left now

 

[Fantastico]

That's not the only reason though. Konrad and Jungels would stay with Hindley if they could, yet they've been dropped by freaking Van Hooydonck.

Sure. I just wanted to say that not necessarily all dropped riders are climbing worse than them. Of course, many are.

Alaphilippe going badly into the red for ???.

Just a French on the Tourmalet things...

 

[DNP-Old]

Alaphilippe going badly into the red for ???.

Training. He looks dangerous, for Glasgow.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Now is the time for Van Baarle and Kelderman I think.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Winning both GTs , stage races and monuments .

They haven’t won a monument since Wout in MSR 2020.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Wout should lower the pace. He won’t get caught before the top anyway.

Maybe the plan is for Wout to get over the top and help on the final climb?

 

[Boehmand]

Vingegaard should have attacked by now.

Nope, too soon, he would end up passing the break.

If he goes on Tourmalet, it will be 1-2 K from the top, when everyone has been on their limit for a long time.

But he may wait for the last climb, because UAE is still there in force.

Benoot dropping is a problem, because he was the guy to ramp it up, it will have to be Kelderman now.

Notice Kuss went past Vingegaard when Benoot dropped... to me it indicates they plan to make a move on Tourmalet, otherwise Kuss would have stayed on Vingegaard'ss wheel..

 

[QueenStagiaire]

I don‘t think they‘re gonna attack now.

 

[Netserk]

They haven’t won a monument since Wout in MSR 2020.

Rogla later same year.

 

[Earns1985]

Now is the time for Van Baarle and Kelderman I think.

Yeah, though that already 2 km before..

 

[DrSahl]

Vingegaard should have attacked by now.

He wont attack. Pogacar will take him today! Vingegaard has an off day....

 

[Netserk]

If it’s only this pace, Wout could take it much easier.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ah Mr Macron with a nice tv apperance! Not much going on atm in France so he's got the time to dilly dally.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Nice to see Macron has his priorities in order.

 

[ontheroad]

Jumbo shelling the peloton one by one and WVA shelling the break one by one.

 

[Fantastico]

It won't be long before we see the first GC guy on a bad day.

Woods is one

 

[Salvarani]

Kelderman upped the pace.

 

[HelloDolly]

One wonders if Carlton Kirby actually watches the races

Bardet or Gaudu are going to attack ...for the love of gawd

 

[Danskebjerge]

Did that handwritten sign say "Alain Philippe"?

 

[Boehmand]

Soler dropped, Pogacar has Yates, Majka and Grosschartner left.

Kelderman dropping the hammer now.

 

[DrSahl]

The show has begun

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Wva pulling against his own team still ?
