Tour de France Tour de France 2024, Stage 15 14/7 Loudenvielle-Plateau de Beille 197.7k

[scribers]

I admit that I have only watched mostly the Grand Tours this year, but can someone explain what is Derek Gee doing inside the top10 of TDF?

Got team support and stopped stage hunting. Apparently IPT saw it between giro 23 and today.

It seems like mountain stages are getting too easy nowadays with these record breaking ascents.

Race design is my passion, so I propose this stage from Sierra Nevada to Sestriere.
It's only about 95 km, so some sort of starting grid could be a nice addition to really shake things up.

add a 100km of flat after the final climb & you have your average Giro stage,

Not even 7 w/kg? Rookie numbers...

I don't know the exact ingredients of those gummie bears or worms Pog is chewing on but I want some!!

 

[kingjr]

Anyone else remember when this word wasn’t filtered?

Just say "regard", like the memestock people.

Am sure you're right unfortunately. Sky did what they could to win GTs and few other races, but no more. UAE want everything.

Pog is just a flat out cannibal. Friendly cannibal

If this is the level of the riders I see no reason why Zomegnan isn't in charge of every single race

 

[Unchained]

Gee just sold his bike for €20 euros and had that fat guy from yesterday throw a bag of potato chips on his head!!

 

[Izzyeviel]

47 riders finished within 40 minutes of Pogacar.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Gee 9th, should be good to get in the breaks because he's ****ing 16 minutes behind

 

[Scarponi]

Can you imagine these two on the 2010 giro route

 

[Brullnux]

Gee 9th, should be good to get in the breaks because he's ****ing 16 minutes behind

Issue is top five is somehow only five minutes away

Final climb is too easy

 

[RobertCrawley]

6:00 left in the time cut and still no Cav.

Edit: Cav arrives in time.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Riders coming in, only about 6 minutes left... who's still out there?

 

[proffate]

I admit that I have only watched mostly the Grand Tours this year, but can someone explain what is Derek Gee doing inside the top10 of TDF?

Last winter he fell overboard while on a cruise ship and washed ashore on a remote island where he had to survive on nothing but lichen and grubs for three months.

At least that's the story his sunken cheeks are telling.

Yeah. We should see old-school 260 km mountain stages again.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Chennaoui absolute shill trying to explain Pantani's record falling by 4 minutes by going on about nutrition

Get someone on with half a clue on please

Did the Pirate go full gas all the way up the hill? One of the reasons Tadej and Jonas went so fast up the hill is that Jorgenson drilled the pull from the start of the climb.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Remember when we said Cav watch would no longer be a thing?

Pepperidge farm remembers

what can she say though, there's no reasonable explanation that avoids a) legal action; b) her getting fired; c) viewership going down

The key is absolutely in what they eat.

She didn't need to say anything, as soon as Vaughters mentioned it she immediately went on the defensive. Just move on.

 

[Samamba]

Cav in time, with 2 minutes to spare, perfect managing.

Obviously all would've been out of the Tour if it wasn't fro Adam Hansen saving them before the start

 

[Tim Cahill]

Cavendish made it by 1.30, he looks nackered
