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

WVA are just excellent for this - he is such a good helper for Vingegaard.

And what are they doing in the Hindley group. Already battling for third spot on the podium.

What an incredible first week we're witnessing.

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.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Will be interesting to see if Hindley gave up a lot trying to stay at the front or if he was being wise and was managing his efforts.

WVA has pulled out another minute pulling the last 10 kms after riding at the front of the break all day!

 

[RobertCrawley]

I hope this answers the questions to all those folks who wondered why Wout went into the break.

 

[GroupDK]

Skjelmose back in yellow group.

 

[Divergence]

Wout is ever so selfish

He was quite selfish the first 4 or 5 stages. Today he is doing his job.

He was being ironic.

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.

I think he can. He have been looking well today and I would not be surprised if he drops Vingegaard today.
Then on the other hand, it can also be vice versa. One thing is certain, we will get our duel.

 

[Trofonios]

Wout is immense.

No.

 

[Berflamand]

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.

Only if you ignore what he’s actually been doing

yes they are. they are just pretending they are doing the Giro and Pogi and Vingegaard are VIP-motos.

I imagine 95% of them were prepared for that before the race started.

 

[Escarabajo]

Riding behind Wout is like riding behind a moto! This is all free time for that front group.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Wout is immense.

Just a glorified mix of Belgian Pozzato and Belgian Hincapie

 

[Boehmand]

Just as interesting as it is if Vingegaard or Pogacar can drop each other, it is also interesting in the yellow jersey group, who dares to reach out for the 3rd podium spot today.

We will soon find out.

Honestly I did not think he will last the last attack but he looked quite fine.

It would be good for rest of the race.

 

[Red Rick]

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

 

[Ulle97]

Great time to be alive and witness these battles between such legends.

Mano a mano. Raw and fearless.

I think he can. He have been looking well today and I would not be surprised if he drops Vingegaard today.
Then on the other hand, it can also be vice versa. One thing is certain, we will get our duel.

 

[postmanhat]

No.

I didn't anticipate it being a popular opinion

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

WVA are just excellent for this - he is such a good helper for Vingegaard.

I mean, it’s kind of impossible for them to beat Pogi and Jonas right now.

Should be 4 weeks excuse me

 

[Divergence]

He was being ironic.

He was pointing out how great Wout is and that everybody is criticizing him unfairly. At least that is what I got from the post.
