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

[Penninepeddler]

Imagine Pogi with Visma’s nutrition program.

I wonder how much weight Pogi could actually lose aha.

On paper the heaviest of all the GC contenders, though I doubt he is actually 66kg.

 

[Fantastico]

Healy finishing with Ayuso, Bernal and Jorgenson after being in the break is impressive.

Romo being 7 minutes ahead of Mas doesn't bode well for the latter. After his great autumn in 2022, Mas has already been lackluster last year, partially due to bad luck with crashes, but this year he seems to be in awful condition.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Imagine Pogi with Visma’s nutrition program.

I'm not sure he has the balls bowels for that.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Tejay saying Vingo has balls on live broadcast

 

[saunaking]

For what?

saying on flobikes he is getting same time as remco

 

[red_flanders]

Never seen Tadej look so bummed as he did in the warmdowns. Had to be a bonk as folks have said.

 

[Tim Cahill]

For what?

Roglic shouldn't lose time according to the rules, see Netserk's post a couple pages back

 

[Boehmand]

Imagine Pogi with Visma’s nutrition program.

Imagine Vingegaard with UAE's nutrition program.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Haha Bora phoned up the commissars?? Since when do they have any pull???

Roglic certainly doesn't have any pull

 

[wheresmybrakes]

This aged well.

Ok, not loads, but on his terrain, I expected him to be so much better. Doesn't look good for the mountains (uphill and downhill), if he's struggling on the hills.

Lol, why? On mountain stages there is no 3km rule, the last time I was concerned...

 

[red_flanders]

I see what you did there.

 

[Gratemans]

I much prefer awkward but real over smooth and empty talk.

That whole extremely family-focused thing has been really annoying to me but when I think about what you say.... annoying as I might find it, I do believe he means it. So I kinda agree I guess. Or something. Idk

 

[houtdffan]

Pog looked utterly dead at the end

Remco looked like he had a lot more to give. Very concerning that Remco didn't let it all out on the road

 

[ppanther92]

Roglic shouldn't lose time according to the rules, see Netserk's post a couple pages back

Wait, can you quote that?

 

[jono]

If it's not a bonk and that is his actual condition the Tour is over and he will finish off the podium. Because even against Jonas losing 35 seconds on a 3k climb is pathetic.

PCS and Eurosport both have him losing 55 seconds... (wo bonuses considered)

 

[ManicJack]

This aged well.

This was his terrain. Stage 14 is the test site

Still hoping that Mas really just tries to get kilometres in at this point, or they plan to send him into a breakaway in the third week (kinda hard to believe though) since he doesn't seem to be in any shape to even bother for a Top 15 right now.

Reasonable. Saying that he should stick to 1 week races might have been a bit...hasty.

 

[fbjim]

Ignoring all the junk about "mind games" and "form" and "winning the tour de france" because more importantly we have a prohibitive winner
for the "worst climb profile of the race" award

*Something* was bothering Tadej today. I guess we'll learn in the interviews.

 

[Boehmand]

My guess would be the organisation was to blame for the crash - it might even be the camera bike which caused it - and as such the commissars find it fair he gets the same time as Evenepoel.

Pogacar will not finish off the podium. He beat Remco and Roglic easily today.
