Tour de France Tour de France 2024, Stage 12: Aurillac > Villenueve-sur-Lot, 203.6km

[Peyroteo94]

Bye bye Jakobsen. Can't pass a molehill

 

[CyclistAbi]

A frustrating way to end your last tour.

Cavendish did get his 35th, though.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Meintjies sighting!

 

[CyclistAbi]

Great stage so far.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Maybe so! The article says that TotalEnergies is working with other teams to have enough bikes.

Tour de France : L'équipe TotalÉnergies cambriolée, onze vélos dérobés et 150 000 euros de préjudice estimé

Dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi, le camion de l'équipe TotalÉnergies a été cambriolé. Onze vélos ont été volés, ainsi que des outils, pour un préjudice total estimé à 150 000 euros.

Apparently they stole some tools as well, now that is where I draw the line!

Hopefully the other teams were able to help out, for a smaller team this is such a huge loss.

Jakobsen DNF incoming, unless a break goes now and peloton stops

Pogacar chatting with Roglic but they don’t have a good relationship...

Pogacar chatting with Roglic but they don’t have a good relationship...

Rest assured that they will hug at the end. All is fair in love and war.

Hahahahahahhahaah has Carapax forgotten what stage it is?

Pog just realising Rog is in the race.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Alpecin will not be able to control this stage, everyone wants to go to the break as they have no chance in the mountains against UAE and Visma.

 

[Red Rick]

Is Jakobsen all alone?

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Pog down

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Come on Abrahamsen, take those polka dots back

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogacar crashed

[Tricycle Rider]

Jakobsen DNF

 

[Red Rick]

Pogacar seen talking to Roglic, 2 minutes later he is on the tarmac

 

[RobertCrawley]

Pogi is dropped

The peloton will wait.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Pogi doing the Cav complaint there...

 

[Samamba]

Break is gone because of the crash. Guillaume Martin jumped. 5 guys. Small, controllable, but these are 5 very strong riders.

EDIT: might be chasse patate from Martin

 

[RobertCrawley]

I can't remember another time Tadej was involved in an accident on the Tour. Bad luck.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Looks like he might have just got caught up in the crash in front of him but maybe didn't hit the deck himself...
