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

[RobertCrawley]

Powless the Nice doing a very fine job hunting mountain points.

 

[Tim Cahill]

That climbing time graphic is very cool, said years ago they should have something like that.

 

[ppanther92]

AAAANNND Tourmalet record destroyed as well.

 

[durtyfat7]

Is there a bahrain rider in the yellow group?

 

[Aimar16]

It seems the comissaire isn't allowing the UAE car to come service Pog, because Macron is in the car. How crazy is that?

UAE should buy the whole of France and make Macron unemployed

 

[Peter von]

Van Aert is just absurd pulling like a moto for 100km and just keeps on going and going and going

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

 

[StryderHells]

That EF radio bit was hilarious

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

I just realized that Pogi would have troube getting a bottle from a stranding soigneur because of his wrist.

He can use his other hand.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

WVA alone worths more than 90% teams.

Not as impressive when 20 of 22 teams have literally 0 worth in the GC battle.

 

[Fantastico]

Is there a bahrain rider in the yellow group?

Landa and Bilbao

 

[Peyroteo94]

If Vingegaards attack were on double-digit gradients Pog would have dropped I think.
Now drafting played a bigger and weight a lesser roll.

Anyhow, a good mental boost for Pog.

He didn't look on the limit. He is clearly better today

 

[Elos Anjos]

He can use his other hand.

While holding his balance with the bad wrist...

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

That EF radio bit hilarious

They are basically in a situation where the correct thing would be to say “sorry guys, you gonna get smoked, but please try”. And they can’t say that.

 

[dazaau]

That chasing group would need to get a shift on
Other teams need to ride
FFS what are they waiting for

They are racing the other tour. The tour for third.

 

[HelloDolly]

They don‘t want to help Hindley

So they haven't given up on Hindley unlike you

 

[StryderHells]

Wout is ever so selfish

 

[Skijumper Roglic fan]

They're enjoyable at least

I just have this image in my head of Hindley climbing into the car on the side of the road in the yellow jersey only 2 minutes behind the top two, director with his head in his hands whilst he calmly books a ticket to Spain in August.

"What the *** are you doing!!!"

Yeah , just the way MAL did it, recently in the Vuelta: „If I cannot be with the best, I quit this race - here and now!…“… ;-)

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

While holding his balance with the bad wrist...

Much easier to balance than to catch with the bad hand I would suppose. I’m pretty sure I saw him balance with the bad hand without problem and getting a bottle from the car with the other hand early on one of the early stages.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Classic NBC going to commercial at the start of the climb.

 

[glassmoon]

I just realized that Pogi would have troube getting a bottle from a standing soigneur because of his wrist.

his wrist is fine ffs... and soigneurs are usually on the right side anyway. if his wrist was in pain he wouldn't be drilling and sprinting during the first 2 stages.

 

[Trofonios]

Wout should go easy until the steep part and then do a last mega pull.

Or rather Italy next year. His favorite destination.

The other teams are making Bora kill of Buchmann, so he can’t go in a break and challenge a top 5 spot later in the Tour. That’s pretty smart.

 

[Ulle97]

Can Pogacar stay with the JumboBots on Cauterets???
I think they will aim to distance him on the 2km @10% section.

Would love to see Pogacar win the stage and keep the Tour alive.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Is there a bahrain rider in the yellow group?

Pello is there.
