Tour de France Tour de France 2024, Stage 1: Florence (Firenze) - Rimini, 206.0k

[Tim Cahill]

Just arrived ...

Did Carapazd crash?

Nah, mech

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Bardet dont care about the heat

shiv and ayuso look poorly

 

[RobertCrawley]

I think they want the stage with van aert and the jersey

I doubt that very much.

 

[KZD]

WVA still there

Visma super strong, I guess we shouldn't be surprised.

 

[tobydawq]

That was some acceleration by Bardet!

 

[Netserk]

None of Pogi's helpers are willing to make a sacrifice?

 

[Samamba]

Abrahamsen is just insane. Dude weighs 76kilo or something.

UAE, Visma, Bora, Ineos, ... they should all be lining up when his contract ends

 

[jono]

WVA's comments about his level laughably false, as anyone could have predicted.

 

[tobydawq]

Who is ready for Vingegaardshouldhaveriddenforvanaert?

Vingegaard even said he should have done it himself but sure, let's ridicule the notion.

Yeah the peloton is already small but I kinda get the feeling UAE was hoping they would have decimated the group even more already. If you want to let one of your secondary leaders attack, the next climb is the place to do so and the group does not look ripe for attacking.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Bardet was smart enough to notice the fakepacing, he has a man up front and is a really good descender too.

 

[scribers]

Hmmm. Bardet for the win?

 

[Samamba]

I think they had hoped for more teammates left. They are not gonna start sacrificing Yates, Ayuso and Almedia this early.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Good tactics DSM

 

[AnotherArmChair]

For once maybe Bardet isnt sick...looks a bit heavier than his usual stick insect look

 

[Salvarani]

Bardet in yellow would be awesome.

 

[tobydawq]

Bardet already has a minute on the bunch. What is going on??

 

[KOM]

Bardet unlocked fast travel

 

[Sciatic]

Bardet has taken a minute on main grp on the climb

 

[Froome]

None of Pogi's helpers are willing to make a sacrifice?

Very strange since they said they were just there to work for Pogacar.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Game on!

 

[Salvarani]

Bardet already has a minute on the bunch. What is going on??

Rabofail.

 

[Rob5091]

Go Bardet!

 

[fbjim]

Big Rom GC Bomb..... we are so back

 

[fbjim]

fair play to the unox guy still in the break , no wonder why that team really wanted someone up there
