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

[Tim Cahill]

Think the break winning will depend on how early it goes

If it goes too late, Alpecin will become interested in controlling for the sprint points

By that point UAE may aswell control for the win, dependant on how Wellens/Yates are doing with Covid.

Vingegaard in P2, they're looking to make it as nervy as possible

Now he's on the front trying to split it in the wind, wtf

 

[BigCoward]

If anyone gets a puncture or stops for the toilet now, they are never getting back on.

Good play. Trying to catch out Tadej.

Yeah he was good getting on the wheel but UAE are nowhere

 

[Danskebjerge]

I can't see the wind (which seems significant for a change) play a major role here, since there are so many climbs coming up.

Prevent Pog from taking his usual nature break 1-2h into the stage. Niermann is a mastermind.

 

[Didinho]

Echelooons! Sprint stages are the best 😁

Politt makes it back to help Tadej.

Wind isn't from ideal direction

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Today and tomorrow GC guys should step back and let other teams have a shot (EF and movistar deserve it); no need to be greedy, pog and vinge have the last three to contend.
So, lazkano spanking skinny climbers is my ideal scenario for today!

That's my ideal scenario most days.

Wind isn't from ideal direction

But does it really matter, they all expected it, and they are all in front

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Soler & Sivakov dropped

But does it really matter, they all expected it, and they are all in front

No but it would cause carnage no matter what if it was the ideal direction, cause wind is strong enough for once.

Yates off the back but he made it on through the village

 

[BubbaChuck]

pog will activate 3 mou accounts after this stage.man he gotta be pissed with team building,lol.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Sivakov, Soler, Hirt, De Plus and others +20

 

[RobertCrawley]

Yates off the back but he made it on through the village

More crosswinds and the peloton might split again.

 

[AmRacer]

Huge breakaway today. 😁

 

[RedheadDane]

Huge breakaway today. 😁

Unfortunately the greedy teams like Total wouldn't let them get away.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Wout is looking lively today.

 

[Samamba]

So are riders gonna start to attack at some point... wind is simply not gonne be from the right direction apart from maybe 5ish km somewhere. It's a head crosswind.

 

[Didinho]

Thought this would be a perfect stage for a breakaway win. Hope they attack soon.

 

[Samamba]

Thank God Grignard starts something
