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

[Lequack]

Finally something unexpected from UAE! Go Yates!

 

[ppanther92]

But looking at the profile, I have the feeling that nothing much is going to happen again. UAE seems to fade a bit, Keldermann was burnt yesterday, so actually Soudal has the numbers.

 

[Heston]

Yates probably gonna win the stage, but it wont do anything for the yellow jersey battle

 

[Tim Cahill]

Jonas Abrahamsen and Mathieu van der Poel charge furiously to the front as they hear Yates has attacked.

 

[JosefK]

Yates could reduce the possibility of bonus seconds for Jonas.

 

[bob.a.feet]

Only yellow matters.

Exactly, having another rider who is (vaguely) a GC threat gives you tactical options.

I bet Landa is itching to get after Yates, but has to babysit.

 

[Colombiano Cadence]

Healy looks toast

 

[Potomac]

Lots of Welsh? flags?

 

[Danskebjerge]

Love watching Yates climb.

Definitely a more elegant rider than Healy who looks like an amateur.

 

[Penninepeddler]

Yates is basically 6 minutes off Evanepoel and Vingo...

feel like the only team who would probably care to pull him back are Ineos given Rodiguez is the sore thumb in the top 7... but they dont have anyone to work for him.

Jorgensen might have the same feeling

Landa Corner

I just don't think Yates is any worry for Jonas. Curious why Visma is using Jorgenson now.

If this plays out Yates can take some bonus secinds from Vingo.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Jorgensen might have the same feeling

Don't think so.

 

[Potomac]

UAE now hoping to hoover up the bonus secs before Vingo gets them?

 

[madthebad]

Pogi will attack soon, that's why Yates was sent up the climb.

 

[slim charles]

Maybe they were working the whole day for Yates stage win

 

[GroupDK]

Jorgenson simply can't counter Yates's pace to any extent..

 

[perico]

Should’ve gone all the way up the Portet.

I just don't think Yates is any worry for Jonas. Curious why Visma is using Jorgenson now.

Because they have to use him. UAE ain’t chasing a man up the road

 

[Penninepeddler]

Yeh, as much as I love Healy's "style" in terms of being a very ballsy rider who seems to always want to animate...

he makes climbing look like he is going up a hill on his way to school on a £100 mountain bike.

BUT tbh it is what a lot of riders basically get told to do from a kid these days. Climb in saddle, low, with high cadence.

But who cares if it is in theory more efficient... climbing out of the saddle just looks so much better ahaha.

 

[Sciatic]

Hope Jorgenson will get a chance to ride for GC for himself in some future GT
