Tour de France Tour de France 2024: Stage 14: Pau - Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d’Adet 151.9km

[Potomac]

UAE not giving the break much time.

Would have liked two see to races, doesn't seem it will happen.

Early yet.
I expect attacks from the climbers currently 10th to 20th on GC

And ofc commentators didn't mention this detail with a single word, despite the riders standing almost in front of the interim pits.

What are you talking about? They mentioned it, even suggested it as reason for the start being slightly delayed, because Pogacar and Vingegaard went to... reveal (can't remember if there's another English word) their individual markers.

 

[Samamba]

Even in an intermediate De Lie manages to let himself get surprised by not going earlier.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Nice intermediate sprint.

 

[Heston]

Gap is still growing. UAE are not riding fast

 

[iBanesto]

Philipsen or Girmay - who got it in the intermediate sprint?

 

[Scarponi]

Philipsen or Girmay - who got it in the intermediate sprint?

Chose the only angle you can’t tell

 

[glassmoon]

Philipsen or Girmay - who got it in the intermediate sprint?

Bini won

 

[Heston]

Breakaway has the stage. No one wants to centrol the gap.

 

[Nomadist]

OMG.... peacock keeps taking advert breaks!

I'm missing everything!

Yep, if Politt continues on Tourmalet it will probably go out further. I judged too quickly.

 

[Nomadist]

UAE soft pacing. Gap is stable at 4 minutes. Personally they're idiots if they pace anything even remotely hard on the mountains.

 

[Salvarani]

Vervaeke dropped

 

[Nomadist]

Vaervacke (QSTP) dropping. Is it covid? Does Remco have it?

 

[Heston]

Why? On the only real mountain so far Pogacar dropped Vinge, and Pla d'Adet is more a Pogacar style climb. Pogacar might want a bigger gap before Bonette.

Yes, yes, it is a bad strategy setting it up for Pogi. 😆

 

[Tim Cahill]

As if things couldn't get any worse now we have to listen to this goon

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Vaervacke (QSTP) dropping. Is it covid? Does Remco have it?

Vervaeke reported to be ill. I don't think it's covid, since SQS policy has been to take riders out of the race.

 

[Kazistuta]

What's wrong with seeing Abrahamson in a break?
At least he's... dressed.





He published some nude photos before the Tour

Why wasn't I surprised to see that you of all people caught that particular info?😄

 

[Samamba]

Still not sure where this stage is going. It's stable at 4min now. Definitely possible to go for the stage for UAE, but not sure if they want it today.

 

[Salvarani]

Pretty crazy that this climb been in the race 1910.

Henri Desgrange sent someone in the middle of the winer to check the climb out.

The taxi only drove the man a bit into it, then said "you are on your own now". The man made it to the top and almost died, because it was so cold, but was cared for on the other side of the mountain.

Then telegraphed to Paris that is was fine to use it.

At least that is the story that I was just told. I think it might be embellished slightly.

Vaervacke (QSTP) dropping. Is it covid? Does Remco have it?

He (Vervaecke) isn´t feeling great the last few days, but so far no one tested positive with SQS.

I personally think Visma's team is not good enough to drop enough guys for a good Vingo attack. Everytime UAE pace they're effectively dropping their own guys and giving Vingo an opportunity to attack. My 2 cents anyway.
