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

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

That's always the deal that Visma has with Wout for stages that suit him. Essentially his job description.

“Why is vaughters telling us to do this? It doesn’t make sense.” - EF rider
“I don’t know man, but he’s real smart. He says we are playing chess against these guys”

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ayuso is out and Yates has done more than anyone today

I don't think it's been too good for either teams GC fight tbh

 

[Heston]

Visma must think that pleasing Van Aert's ego today will make them stronger as a team in the 3rd week. But Jorgenson is gonna be cooked.

I thought he was going to podium. 🙄

Campaenarts on the front, over for Carapaz

 

[Nick2413]

When all is said and done I don’t know if any of the GC teams will be happy with how this played out.

 

[Samamba]

What's Lotto doing lmao

 

[QueenStagiaire]

This is suicide by Lotto

 

[Netserk]

I like this from Lotto. Might as well throw a Hail Mary.

What happened that was bad for Soudal?

 

[AmRacer]

So, will they take an active rest day tomorrow?

What happened that was bad for Soudal?

Fair was mostly referencing UAE/Visma

 

[titan31]

What happened that was bad for Soudal?

Van Wilder crash and they were working earlier with Ineos and Jayco to bring back/control the break I guess.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

What happened that was bad for Soudal?

Van Wilder crashed hard

Shouldve done it on the previous hill than, try to drop a sprinter extra, but on this one it's impossible and you're just wasting your own team

 

[AmRacer]

UAE?

 

[Danskebjerge]

Not much Intermarché have been working today - and yet Girmay is in with a good chance of winning yet again?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I thought he was going to podium. 🙄

Expert former pros were equally deluded.

 

[Nick2413]

UAE?

They made Visma work but I guess we’ll see if it was worth burning Yates, when they may need him more than ever next 2 days and Ayuso also out.

 

[staubsauger]

So, will they take an active rest day tomorrow?

Probably a stage for the breakaway tomorrow.

Bardet, Gaudu & Healy trying to win the stage and/or the KOM point on top of the Tourmalet!

Maybe even Hindley!

 

[theyoungest]

Another final where Van Aert would be much better off attacking rather than waiting in the bunch for the sprint.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Lotto think Van Moer has a better shot of beating Stuyven than De Lie does of winning a heavily reduced sprint after a really hard day?

Motors are also far too close.

 

[Samamba]

Girmay going to win this with 0 work done by his team lmao

 

[Netserk]

Is Philipsen still in the bunch?
