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

Incredible how the same exact 40 kilometers as today could give this result 8 years ago:

Tour de France 2016 Stage 5 results

It's a different sport.

we all suffered through those garbage tours and now we're in cycling heaven

what happened to Fred?

[topcat]

PCS say OTL.

I still think Fred caused the crash and otl'd rather than face a dq

Fred caused a crash? never....

looking at the footage of Rog's crash, I'd argue he wasn't within 1 second of Remco. He deserves his own time

Totally agree, really stupid rule and unjust ruling. I like Rog but he took himself out, no one else to blame. TO me that rule is in place to protect riders from crashes in the peloton or otherwise not of their own making; ridiculous, especially if it turns out to be the deciding factor for a podium.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

So many people today crying about Evenepoel. You WISH you had balls as big as his.

If Remco has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Remco has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Remco has only one fan then that is me. If Remco has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Remco, then I am against the world.

Real "Leroy Jenkins!!!" vibe you've got there.

what happened to Fred?

Sick I think

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

The taint?

Well...technically...

 

[Sciatic]

There won't be any teammates left. When Yates goes, the group will be very short. Less than 10 riders.

You called that exactly right, Yates pulled the pin for the detonation that followed.

 

[Sciatic]

Lazkano what a beast, 75 kg and smashing 10% gradient climb!

He’s going to be a pleasure to watch in the classics over the coming decade!

 

[Sciatic]

Did they just dub an eagle and bird noises over that shot of the mountains lol

Yes, I used to think that was real when they played it when showing a soaring eagle or hawk, then I realized it was the same cry every single time.

 

[ppanther92]

Gall with a 20s penalty. Probably somehow related to his chase after the puncture early on.

 

[Sciatic]

That will be a 200 franc fine for Bardet

And so worth it! Funny thing is that while slapping palms for 200 meters he didn’t lose much ground to the group he was with.

Watch: Roglic crashes on final descent in bid to catch Pogacar, Vingegaard

Watch the moment Primoz Roglic crashes on the final descent in a bid to catch Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard on Stage 11 of the Tour de France. Stream the Tour de France live on discovery+.

If someone wants to see the Roglic crash and hasn't so far (as me). Think he stretched the concept of "in contact" with Evenepoel there. Gap on the verge of 1s for sure.

 

[Sciatic]

Will be at least 2 minutes from Pogacar to 2nd place on the stage. Anyone saying the Tour is not over is deluding themselves

You might consider holding off on those psychiatric diagnoses in the future

 

[Sciatic]

This is just unbelievably bad from the director today. Awful.

It’s a French race . . .

 

[Samamba]

what happened to Fred?

Must be sick, Bilbao apparently also sick.

Gotta wonder if it's healthy to keep trying like that tho.

 

[Sciatic]

No, riding at his own pace

You’re right. People should have learned by now that’s how he rides these climbs—doesn’t try to stay with explosive accelerations on climbs but rides at his own pace. Served him well today.

Fred was on his bike busting his ass for six hours today, it‘s all the rage with the health experts and sports scientists.

 

[topcat]

I really thought something big was going to happen in this stage. 1 second in the Vingo-Pog duel and 4 seconds in the Remco-Rog bar brawl. Not exactly big. Today, Vingo's balls dropped. A mediocre showing from Poels today suggesting that Froome still won't give him back his balls.

 

[Sciatic]

Roglic did absolutely no work on the climb, tbh.

It was his help on the descent . . .

 

[hfer07]

Great stage- lots of action, lots of tactics, and the outcome was what I foresaw, but with Poga outsprinting Jonas congrats to Jonas

overall, Jonas looks more than good to fight for the Tour title as every day that passes by, he's getting stronger & stronger. Beware of the "3rd week shock"
Poga? doing what Poga does, BUT it seems he's slowly running out of fuel, so He may need to select carefully his attacks from here on so that he'd have enough reserves for the 3rd week.
Roglic? He looked good initially catching up Jonas on the descend & going with him on the penultimate climb... until he blew up. Seems like the lack of racing is taking a toll on him?
Remco? raced very smart within his limits and fought where & when it matters. He looks promising.

 

[Sciatic]

Pogacar, more like chokeacar

Weird. . . Pretty sure what we just saw was about physiology not psychology.

 

[Izzyeviel]

GC Gee: 12th. 11th in GC, just 8 minutes down.

You know that this video is in slow motion, right?
