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

[RobertCrawley]

Girmay takes the intermediate sprint with Philipsen 2nd.

Nice lead out by Intermarché. Good practice for the finalé.

 

[dgodave]

Aurillac is famous for umbrellas. Who knew???

 

[DarkBlue]

Turgis with a late surge for Green!!

 

[Valv.Piti]

Fabio Jakobsen abandons.

Cant really feel bad for the rider if he's just not good enough. And he's just not good enough at the moment, so it is what it is.

 

[Rackham]

Matt Stephens on the motorbike eating lunch from a musette handed to him by Bahrain Victorious... who've had two riders abandon in the last 24 hours due to sickness.

Great idea!

Netflix will probably milk this story line again.

At the end of the day, Jakobsen is ill or otherwise DSM would send back support riders.

 

[Sciatic]

Absolutely. I've been checking out the web site.

Matt Stephens a DNS tomorrow?!

 

[AmRacer]

Race radio, Inter M and Total interpret the situation totally different.

 

[Rob5091]

Does not make much sense catching the break yet.

 

[Danskebjerge]

In Denmark, Aurillac is known for its POW camp during World War 1. Hundreds of young Danish men were placed here, having been taken prisoners in a war in which they were forced to fight for a country, Germany, that wasn't theirs. Fortunately, the Danish POWs were treated well because the French had sympathy for them as non-German conscripts, and because there was lots of help coming from their motherland.

A pattern in this Tour.

Turgis not having Tratniks bike..

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Yes, an amazing place, but I just exited the caves of Postojna in Slovenia and they are even better. Never underestimate the Slovenians!

PCS reporting about farmers protesting ... watch out for tear gas! (for those with long memories)

I need Jens Voigt's opinion on this before I pick sides.

And Roglic will have to watch out for hay bales.

 

[Sciatic]

Thought the heli was going down in the lake for a sec there

Hay = Roglic's kryptonite!

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Cav trying to sing "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" in earlier interview - lol! (He actually sounds like a very attentive father.)

A real mate holds you and pedals for both you while you whiz in front of spectators

 

[Sciatic]

There’s next year’s gravel stage

 

[Samamba]

Does Gaviria think there's a corner in the last 200m or what is this confidence?
