Tour de France Tour de France 2024, Stage 13: Agen > Pau, 165.3 km

[Mayomaniac]

Gall caught behind?
Ciccone's positioning today and on the sterrato stage is impressive.

 

[ppanther92]

Remco and Pog riding for what?

Either dropping Gall (unlikely) or stupidity (unfortunately more likely).

 

[yaf]

Uae anticipating early with yates to get him to the podium only to drop him on cross winds. Lol..

 

[Samamba]

The first group doubled in size, needs to split again to make it keep going

 

[scribers]

Remco and Pog riding for what?

Split it and bonus seconds. Echelons can be a credible opportunity

 

[Mayomaniac]

Gall up there, hell yeah!

 

[Netserk]

Remco and Pog riding for what?

~7 riders had a gap for a moment that was then closed by an Uno-X rider and Almeida. Evenepoel, Pogi, Laporte and Vingegaard were there.

Best shape of his life and it's not close.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Kristoff and the rest of the Uno-X team should really profit from the massive work of Abrahamsen and Cort in this Tour. But they don't seem to have it.

 

[RobertCrawley]

31 seconds from yellow to the peloton.

The most desperate team I've ever seen

 

[Netserk]

Gall up there, hell yeah!

Wow. Hats off.

 

[Froome]

Thats a better explanation than them riding to drop Gall basically. Seriously, what are they doing. Now I agree with @Froome - they play in Vingegaards cards with wasting energy like that left and right.

The Visma plan is the same of last years. War of attrition, and if Pogacar and Remco spend energy pushing at front, well even better. They want everybody "dead" in the last week, starting on Pyrenees.

 

[postmanhat]

Remco and Pog riding for what?

Who cares? It's much more fun to watch GC riders who will attack because they can.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Evenepoel and Pogacar really remind me of my nephew who has ADHD, they just can't help it

 

[AmRacer]

The most desperate team I've ever seen

Desperate?

 

[ppanther92]

Wait, just saw Gall, no?

Then it makes even less sense but I am happy

 

[scribers]

Look. Either you affect the split or a victim of a split. Either way you are going to expend energy. Where do you want to be?

 

[Heston]

If/when the GC teams stop, Girmay/Philipsen/Ackermann should just try attacking.

 

[noob]

Remco and Pog riding for what?

Too little ritalin/cycling adhd

 

[Samamba]

Kristoff and the rest of the Uno-X team should really profit from the massive work of Abrahamsen and Cort in this Tour. But they don't seem to have it.

Tbf Kristoff peeked in May and begin of June, they kinda said that in advance. Tiller too if I remember correctly.

 

[Ripper]

Why ...

Is the Yellow Jersey working at the front of the field on this stage at this point? "Because he can" is not an adequate answer

 

[Brullnux]

Yates... very funny

 

[Mayomaniac]

Best shape of his life and it's not close.

His positioning was already great as a neopro, when he raced AGR as a superdom for Colbrelli (who won the sprint behind Gasparotto and Cort). Always keeping Colbrelli near the front during the final and riding like a well seasoned domestique.
His TT-ing was always horrible, but his racing instincts have always been great.

 

[Netserk]

Don't get why Visma kept riding. Now Campy and Abra go!
