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

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Vervaeke has caught the group Groenewegen.

 

[Snake]

Remco already without glasses, bad sign

 

[Lequack]

Why are UAE chasing the break again, haven't they learned?

 

[Nomadist]

Off topic: Overslept and my noisy neighbour for once worked in my favor.

So happy Patrice O neal is alive and watching cycling

 

[AmRacer]

Laporte dropped

 

[Heston]

Vauquelin dropped already? Weird, break not even going that fast

 

[AmRacer]

Why are UAE chasing the break again, haven't they learned?

Learned what? How to try winning?

 

[Potomac]

Noblesse oblige

 

[Samamba]

Mustve burried himself in the beginning in the smaller group.

 

[Nomadist]

UAE holding it at 4 mins, looks like they're going for the stage. Could Vingo drop Pog instead?

 

[Nomadist]

Learned what? How to try winning?

They're already winning, let the 2nd place team spend their energy..

 

[Medvind]

And there goes Laporte also while giant Politt still in front.

Laporte and van Aert saving it for tomorrow? Or just struggles?

 

[Heston]

Or they just don't want to give Healy 15 minutes.

 

[Ricco']

Why did Martinez come here at last minute with this kind of shape.

Surely they are not thinking of sending him also to the Vuelta later this year.

 

[Potomac]

When does the last rider in the current lead group get caught today

 

[AmRacer]

They're already winning, let the 2nd place team spend their energy..

They are probably not confident 1 minute is enough gap for the third week. While VLAB is.

FDJ panicking cause Gaudu got Covid a week beofre the Tour. So Gaudu wasn't good, but then expecting a 21y old who wasn't even looking good in Suisse is gonna save you well...

 

[Lequack]

Wout and Laporte will monitor the groupetto, so no surprise attacks come from the back.

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.

I think it's a true story. Bastian Emil is also telling it now and I have heard it many times before, also in books that claim to be more critical of the sources than regular cycling literature.

 

[Danskebjerge]

I wonder what a guy like Benoot will be able to do for Vingegaard today. He spent a lot of energy yesterday for ... well, maybe for Van Aert.

 

[Samamba]

Tempo in front is harder than people think. Also think UAE pace is pretty solid. As hard as they can go while still having their riders after Tourmalet. It doesn't look like they just want to give it to the break.

 

[Valv.Piti]

This is the best I have seen MVP in the high mountains lol

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Why does Matt Stephens tell people even more obvious and common knowledge stuff than the other motorbike experts?

 

[Medvind]

Big question is: will Mvdp drop before the top?

 

[dercuforever]

Remco doesn't look that good. Better not show this to other podium riders.
