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

Seems like we were fooled by a typical case of drunk gps.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Yeah... because stage 6 on a MTF that wasnt very hard. It wasnt much to gain that time either for the effort needed to make the selection.

And again... stage 6.

Now it is stage 1 and not very hard climbs.

Col de la Lusette is a very worthy MTF, definitely not the hardest but should’ve been raced properly.

Maybe if Bardet had a little more meat to this thighs but today is not the day.

Edit: Thanks alot of GPS.

I understand GC is a long game. But if you are supposed "superteam" with uncertain form of your main rivals due to crashes you should invest more on stage like this. At least in my books.

Thats very short term thinking and his rivals are still fresh despite that, stage 1.

Been a pretty hot and fast day despite everything. Tomorrow suits better for an attack on San Luca to test the legs.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Will Vingegaard learn his lesson and do a pull for Van Aert...

Again... stage 6, with all flat before that. Not much was gonna happen. Why pace hard to gain 20s at most? Nah.

Stage 6 2020 was a disgusting display of cowardice by all involved and should have seen suspensions meted out.

That kind of mass gathering in the same place for so long without moving was surely against Covid rules.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Come on, break!

Nah, more like all thinking it was not worth it.

It wasn't "not pacing hard". It was "not pacing AT ALL" and losing time to a sprinter who'd been in the break all day.

 

[titan31]

This is close

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Hahaha, Van Aert wins the sprint.

 

[Berniece]

Beautiful win by Bardet

More than 20s could’ve been feasible on the right day, especially with how we raced the last two years.

 

[Tim Cahill]

[Zoetemelk-fan]

YES!

 

[Salvarani]

[Peyroteo94]

Pogacar was 4th lol

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Belgian Pozzatto will never beat the allegations.

Awesome.
