Tour de France Tour de France 2024 stage 17: Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux - Superdévoluy, 177.8 km

[Samamba]

Ffs no one cares about Bennett

 

[Tim Cahill]

Mas X Yates X Carapaz is far far too much cyclismo for a single countermove to contain

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Bennett barely moving

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Enough with Bennett. Show the front of the race, not the end.

 

[Samamba]

Gaviria out too, as expected, he was already dead and he needs to go to Olympics.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Panning away from attacks in the group to linger upon a dropped ag2r rider is so on-brand

 

[Samamba]

Finally some big guns attacking in the peloton and they start showing everything but the race

 

[Samamba]

This could be it

 

[Pantani_lives]

It's probably better to wait until after the intermediate sprint. A mid-range attack could make it to the finish if the GC riders save their energy.

 

[Samamba]

It's still a big fight in the peloton. splits everywhere

 

[Tim Cahill]

Splitting near the front, fire the ****ing director

talking about struggling sprinters... there's a Degenkolb race diary in German media. He said on Sunday's stage, Démare was with them (and Cav etc) in the gruppetto, but panicked, and tried to jump to the group ahead. He didn't make it, so it resulted in a 20k solo ride through the valley for him, and he almost missed the time cut in the end.

 

[Netserk]

Van Aert still quite poor. Most of UAE also look poor.

 

[Lequack]

I told you about sprinters abandoning in droves after stage 16. Some people doubted.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Van Aert still quite poor. Most of UAE also look poor.

Wellens and Yates are probably infected with Covid. Van Aert is building for Olympics

 

[Tim Cahill]

Bennett injured or can't be arsed?

 

[Stelvio]

Only two UAE + Pog in the main group?

 

[Netserk]

Jorgenson missed the split?

 

[RobertCrawley]

Voiture balai for Sam Bennett.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Only two UAE + Pog in the main group?

Jorgenson dropped too

 

[houtdffan]

the yellow jersey group already made a big selection?

 

[Tim Cahill]

If the front 4 didn't have radios they'd probably think brilliant we've got about 10 minutes on the group

 

[RobertCrawley]

Jorgenson dropped too

They are likely saving him for tomorrow.

 

[scribers]

the yellow jersey group already made a big selection?

I’m trying to figure out what happened too

 

[Tim Cahill]

They are likely saving him for tomorrow.

He's been attacking at the start, he just missed the split/positioning apparently
