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

[RedheadDane]

Why would they? Jørgensen is irrelevant to UAE.

Trying to claim him for Denmark?

 

[Poursuivant]

Sean being frisky today

 

[madthebad]

What a crazy stage

Why would they? Jorgenson is irrelevant to UAE.

Visma are riding to win the stage from the break.

Not really irrelevant, Visma are cooking something trying to send so many guys in the breakaway today.

 

[Potomac]

Trying to claim him for Denmark?

boy is idaho

 

[RobertCrawley]

Ben Healy is on the front, at the back , leading the train

He is everywhere ...UAE should buy him

I was thinking Ineos will want him as a potential GC hopeful.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yeah, but Heston changed his (Jorgenson's) name to the Danish spelling.
But being a whole state must be hard!

What a crazy stage

What would they be trying? Vinge is never dropping Pogacar on these climbs anyway.

Visma want a stage win. They only have 1 so far.

 

[Heston]

Damn autocorrect

 

[BigCoward]

What was the earliest expected finish time?

I don't think Visma cares about polka dot jerseys, second place, or stage wins right now.

 

[Stelvio]

What was the earliest expected finish time?

16:58 @42kph

Edit: Looks like they are about 10 minutes ahead of that (if I can read the time table correctly) with 78 km to go.

 

[Heston]

I don't think Visma cares about polka dot jerseys, second place, or stage wins right now.

It hasn't been that many days since they wheeled in a breakaway so Wout could try to win a sprint.

The Eurosport reporter on the motorcycle asked the Visma DS half an hour ago and he said they are going for a stage win.

They should try to win the stage, but since they didn't allow Laporte to join G1, I don't think that's what they're doing.

UAE are chaotic today, Yates is cooked, Soler has to nurse him. Probably an attack by Vingegaard on the penultimate climb, doesnt matter if he couldn't drop Pogi until now, you still have to try, nothing to lose.

Stage win for who?

 

[yaco]

I have no idea who will win this stage.

In a funny moment one of the Bas Tietema riders dressed in Groenenwegen's champion's jersey, and joined the Jayco Alula team at the team presentation in place of Groenewegen.

 

[Heston]

Stage win for who?

For whoever manages to get in the break

 

[topcat]

Everyone is too fresh

I'm not fresh. I'm burnt out from 45 years of watching the tour. Nothing changes if nothing changes.

 

[madthebad]

For whoever manages to get in the break

70k's to go and the breakaway has 40 seconds gap. Break ain't winning nothing today, they are just trying to ambush Pogacar.

 

[Samamba]

Still think some sort of break will go behind the first 4

 

[Potomac]

Ligget very good "Healy go again"

 

[Peyroteo94]

Wellens is sick. He would be very important today

 

[Tim Cahill]

Feel sorry for that break, good move, right riders, right time. But nah.

 

[topcat]

Having said that I have nothing to say.

 

[KZD]

Well if the breakaway doesn't gain more time this is looking good for another Pogačar stage win.

Visma will probably set this up for a Vingegaard attack on Col du Noyer.
