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

[Samu Cuenca]

If Vingegaard loses time to Pogačar today, they will regret not giving Van Aert the opportunity to take 10 minutes here. He must have dropped 7 kg. on this stage alone, and will therefore be as strong as Pogi from now on.

 

[Scarponi]

So Hindley will lose yellow already after one day but will still have spent more time in the yellow jersey than in the maglia rosa despite being a Giro winner.

Best part is they were two great rides to get into those jerseys

Hindley extensing the streak of only having the GC lead for 1 day

Exstensing? 😘

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Am coming round to the idea of GTs being 2 weeks. Get rid of more of the dross stages and also open up the season calendar.

Respectfully, hell no.

 

[GroupDK]

Van Aert is keeping a solid pace and keeps extending all alone to the Hindley group, an impressive pull from WvA.

Sounds like a Christopher Nolan movie.

Ha!

But please don't remind us of that Giro

 

[Boehmand]

Hindley extensing the streak of only having the GC lead for 1 day

He's ridden 7 stage races without having the leaders jersey since the Giro, so not really a streak

 

[RobertCrawley]

Exstensing? 😘

That's a good word, whatever it means.

 

[Potomac]

Cutest bottle girl award goes to Ineos

 

[Peter von]

Skjelmose back in yellow group.

and now INEOS starts pulling. Guess MS can crack some funny jokes.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Wow, Ineos is doing something!

 

[Valv.Piti]

Skjelmose got really lucky there.

For all we know Van Aert might be winning today

Jonas " Hering" Vingegaard gives me Michael " Chicken" Rasmussen vibes.

 

[Rollthedice]

That's a good word, whatever it means.

Has something existential in it.

Is Pidcock going to attack on the last climb? Bernal fetching him a bottle.

 

[Skijumper Roglic fan]

and remember he came into the Tour undercooked so he could peak for the Worlds

But Wout appears to have a chubbier face than usual; and: when I saw live images from him, view from behind to his back, on top of Tourmalet, I was little bit shocked: he looked blocky, chunky, plump, from behind. Soft, big calves. Broad hips and back, but not shaped too impressively. I saw him for these two seconds, and he had the built of a recreational cyclist, who is three to five kgs above his best shape.

Back view is really Wout‘s weak point, when he rides outside the saddle. MvdP looks a lot better. Best ones are Bahrain‘s Poels/Haig/Mäder (RIP)…

 

[Valv.Piti]

Pogacar should be the favorite for the win, but we havent seen this climb before, so who knows.

 

[DrSahl]

Jonas " Hering" Vingegaard gives me Michael " Chicken" Rasmussen vibes.

If I remember correctly, then Rasmussen actually have called Vingegaard a Chicken

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

More likely Carlos Rodriguez.

 

[Boehmand]

Van Aert is keeping a solid pace and keeps extending all alone to the Hindley group, an impressive pull from WvA.

It tells us all, that nobody in the yellow jersey group believes the two top steps on the podium are available, so they have no interest in catching The Pogacar/Vingegaard group.

They are riding their own race for 3rd, from now on an the rest of the Tour, while largely ignoring what Jumbo and UAE are playing at.

 

[DrSahl]

Skjelmose dropped now.. all alone.

 

[Volderke]

I’ll say it again: Wva is a team on his own.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Skjelmose out.

Overhyped? Definitely on Danish TV, yes, but thats to be expected.
