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

[noob]

Now UAE should calm down

 

[Danskebjerge]

Providing Van Aert with a chance in the bunch sprint seems more and more likely as the motivation for Visma today, even in the first crosswind attack.

The trend is: either no breakaways because they are regarded as dead on arrival - or breakaways that are indeed killed by the GC and sprinter teams.

visma can not ignore the severe GC threat of Richard "D*ck" Crapass up the road

They are obviously riding for Van Aert. It's pretty obvious when they are reacting to every attack, even Tiller, Abrahamsen, Campenaerts and Van Gils.

 

[Didinho]

With how hard this stage is ridden there’s an even better chance for Girmay. Fastest smaller sprinters should feel this.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Visma doing a lot here for Van Aert but that stage tomorrow is brutal

Watch Van Aert get 3rd behind Carapaz and Tobias cause they only want Kelderman to work lmao

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Nico Roche on comms confused by some of the energy being burned today given what's ahead but man, I'm not going to miss a minute of the next couple of stages.

 

[Heston]

Girmay/Philipsen/De Lie/Ackermann still in the group it seems. Gonna be a decent sized bunch sprint after all

richard "d*ck crapass" carapaz's gc deficit is melting by the second

Jorgenson is working the entire time, though

Sunday is going to be a rough start for a lot of guys.

Maybe they want him to lose weight before tomorrow.

That's the spirit Visma Lease a bike.. kill the team before the weekend fight for the Tour, so we yet again will see a Vingegaard alone with a handful of United Arabs riders.

Jonas will be fine, all he needs is to follow Pog this weekend.

he's behind in GC though

 

[Danskebjerge]

I hope Visma will regret their way of riding today - while I don't hope it will damage Vingegaard.

 

[Samamba]

Jorgenson is working the entire time, though

True, im kinda surprised, but they will need help. Think they will get some once the hills are done tho. Dillier already helping now.

 

[RobertCrawley]

he's behind in GC though

And eventually sprint each other up the mountains.

Is this meant to be an observation on the race, or is this the level of humour we are reduced to now?

richard "d*ck crapass" carapaz's gc deficit is melting by the second

Oh no. This is a chess move long game strategy on his triumphant march onto the the GC podium

 

[scribers]

he's behind in GC though

That’s why I like the strategy

 

[yaf]

Visma are making a deal with vanaert. today we work for you and u work ur a** off the rest of the tour

 

[fbjim]

Oh no. This is a chess move long game strategy on his triumphant march onto the the GC podium

people will rue the day. the french will rename that little hill the "col du richard carapaz" in commemoration of his panache

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Yeah, you've tried that joke twice now. Please stop.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Only a Van Aert stage win today can "save" this for Visma.
