Tour de France Tour de France 2023, stage 9: Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat - Puy de Dôme, 182.4k

[SHAD0W93]

Vinge and Pog to hold hands ala Contador and Schleck?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Not even Motorič could close the gap. Jorgenson might have healthy lead at the bottom.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I liked Blythe better on the motorbike.

Anything that reduces the amount of Blythe content is a positive step.

Edit: I suspect Carlton has put some money on Powless for the stage, he's praising him effusively for everything he does even when it's just the act of not committing tactical harakiri. He normally only does that for non-Ineos riders if he's got money riding on it.

 

[kingjr]

So who's supposed to beat Powless now

 

[Peyroteo94]

Too hot for Pogacar. Froome's weather today

 

[Peter von]

Uno-X probably blew it killing Abrahamsen before the downhill.

Yeah or by not landing Gregaard in the Powless move.

Powless

 

[Red Rick]

Borgaudau and De La Cruz already seem dead enough.

Powless

One can only hope

 

[postmanhat]

Lutsenko, why is he even here

Lasted one day at Romandie, three at The TDS and still they send him here to do what? I wonder if they're going to set a new record for least points by a WT team?

So you're telling me Kirby had placed a bet on every race Si Clarke has ridden the past 10 years?

I guess I’ll never understand riders in a breakaway with a huge gap on the peloton attacking each other like this, when there is a big finishing climb. In most cases hwhoever has saved the most energy Im and has good climbing legs is going to win regardless ( as long as they can follow and stay in a chasing group) what good is a 25’ gap over there at the start of the climb if you’re not the best climber?. There’s something I just don’t get about this.

I'm really curious to what Jumbo Visma has cooked up for the day.

They have different sets of skills. Mohoric or Jorgenson would not make it had they arrived in the same group at the start of the climb.

Even if it’s just decided on the climb, a rider will always feel better with less riders in the group. It’s seems that’s goal was achieved.

 

[JosefK]

Jorgenson looks like a rider who has decided to win.

 

[DrSahl]

Vinge and Pog to hold hands ala Contador and Schleck?

Pogacar will drop Vingegaard again today, albeit it will not give so much time, but he still will because he is a monster.

Vingegaard had one lucky Tour win, that is all he gets.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This is looking less and less like a Woods kind of day.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Astana-fail.

 

[Salvarani]

This is looking less and less like a Woods kind of day.

There is a saying in my country, when things has not turned out the way you wanted it to, that "things has gone to the woods". I guess it is fitting here.

 

[HelloDolly]

Looks like the devil is calling in the chips on Vino ...no luck now

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

FDJ’s decision to leave Demare home looks worse as the race goes on…

Demare curse is real

Jorgenson probably has everyone other than Woods covered on the climb if he doesn't overheat though.
