Tour de France Tour de France 2024, Stage 11: Évaux-les-Bains > Le Lioran, 211km

[Jagartrott]

Some rumours about Remco being sick with a cold.

Could you please provide a source?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Don't think now is the time to go, Int coming up in about 15km and I think Girmay/Philipsen are still there.

 

[Netserk]

Visma-LAB are active again.

 

[AmRacer]

Did I hear that correctly that UAE are not letting Healy go in the break - wtf

Within 10 minutes of GC. So...

 

[RobertCrawley]

Vingo wont stick to wheels all the time. He will have to put the hammer down at some point. Pyrenees or Alps are more obvious places to do it but you never know 100%, this is hard racing. Whatever happens, hopefully the stage will deliver!

I think Visma sending guys in the break is a defensive move. It's not logical for Jonas to attack on stages that do not suit him, and Visma is all about the logic.

But if Jonas sees Remco in any kind of difficulty, I wonder if he might push the pace a little just to send a message.

Could you please provide a source?

I don't have. Portuguese commentators were talking about that and for that reason I said rumours, I don't know if it is true

 

[Tim Cahill]

Look at UAE watching Bart Lemon with 2 riders like it's peak Hinault trying to sneak into the move.

Since German Eurosport is talking about it - Pogacar apparently quite angry that Zigart is not nominated for the Olympics. How can this happen? She distanced the athlete nominated by 11min in the road race (Pintar), all athletes that started with 4:30min in the ITT, and Bujak didn't even show up for the nationals.

What kind of corruption is going on there?

Thats what im saying. Depening on race situation Vingo may attack, even if its unplanned now. Pogs attack is more likely ofc.

Swedish commentators said he looked tired and that his lips looked dry before the start. Could be nothing ofc.

There should be about 15 threads better suited for this

 

[Netserk]

I haven't seen Girmay near the front, but the intermediate is coming up in 10 km.

 

[ppanther92]

I know, but put it here since I heard it in the live stage, and at least has some influence on Pogacar.

Yes, it's almost a certainty that Tadej tests Jonas on a slope at some point today.

 

[ppanther92]

I haven't seen Girmay near the front, but the intermediate is coming up soon.

Are you Jens Voigt? He said exactly the same thing at exactly the same time.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Serious cyclists would be piggybacking off these intermediate sprint trains coming up to form a new break.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Go to the Pogacar's thread but yes, that is strange as hell

 

[Medvind]

Impressive by Carapaz.

That should be indeed a good strategy. Sprinters will totally back off after it, boom 100-200 meters gap with little effort.

 

[Netserk]

Impressive by Carapaz.

It's such an Alaphilippe move.

 

[tobydawq]

Puy de Dome amd Grand Colobier youd have a point.

Cauterets and Jouz Plane you really dont

I still don't see why not. He killed him on Cauterets.

And fair enough with Joux Plane, I still think it proved that he could get the gap, but the attack was mistimed. And then the motos destroyed it after.

 

[Netserk]

Now Intermarché is set up for Girmay!

 

[Netserk]

Evenepoel at the front.

 

[Froome]

Today's stage suit Jonas, but i don't know if he will go on offensive today.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Both Izagirre and Renard abandoned, according to L'Equipe.
