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

[Sciatic]

Not even sure why WVA is riding for Vingegaard, thought Visma didn't care about that 2nd place

They are competitors

 

[Tim Cahill]

Vingegaard, different refuelling strategy

Will be different on 19, they will try. Still lose like but they will try.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

For sure this was a mean girls setup against Vingo

Mean girls, mean girls, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you.

How did the group with the other GC riders lose more than two minutes in the final?

 

[BubbaChuck]

if vinge tries same tactic on isola,he will die outhere.

 

[Escarabajo]

Did Jonas have a mechanical? It looked like he stopped almost.

Correct, his legs stopped working.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Vingo will wait for Isola or will attack in Bonette?

 

[Taxus4a]

Always thanks Pogacar to be like this. amnyway he finally just took 2 second with Vibegaard in a stage where he flyes again ion the flat and the end was much better for him than for Vingegaard.

For me this is not finished yet. Of course is almost for `Poggi, but evertyhing could happend. But he has to put people on the break, but it is a pity Van Aert is not like other years.

 

[Taxus4a]

Vingo will wait for Isola or will attack in Bonette?

Bonnete is the climb, if they wait at Isola Pogacar destroy everybody

It has two other riders on it. Ullrich and Bettini.

Wiggins so close

 

[RobertCrawley]

Mean girls, mean girls, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you.

There is a definite frat v geek feel when a lot of people talk about these two racers.

How did the group with the other GC riders lose more than two minutes in the final?

To quote the great Greg Lemond, “Why couldn’t I chase? I was freaking tired!”

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Vinge has said

-he cant match Pog on the accelerations
-he is not interested in 2nd and will try everything to win ( I presume including blowing up)
-his only hope is Pog has a bad day

Olympic gold in the road race, yes? Roglic has stage wins in all grand tours and an Olympic gold (TT).

 

[Sciatic]

So Teddy dropped Vingo two times and gained...whooping 2 seconds! Something was off in case of his first attack: JV had a guy to help Vingo on the descent but no UAE guy was waiting for Pog. A wasted match by Pogacar. Can't wait to the final weekend.

If illness is going around in the UAE team, I think it could be worthwhile for Pogacar to keep adding to his advantage while he still feels okay.

How did the group with the other GC riders lose more than two minutes in the final?

The entire places 4-12 were together and so nobody had any reason to ride.

 

[Didinho]

Looked like Pogi was doubting between taking Remco with him and getting more time on Vingo.

Visma will definitely get all their riders in the break again the next days. Just in case.

Jonas won't quit, as we saw today. Neither will Grischa. They'll keep trying.

Then why did he and his teammates chase Evenepoel, lol.

 

[perico]

Looking at him throughout the years, He would benefit of going to the Giro, just like Ulrich used to do. Mas is the definition of Diesel.

I said it at the beginning of the season as well.

-he cant match Pog on the accelerations

...and still they chased Remco down. Does not make sense if they don't care about 2nd place

 

[Squire]

Olympic gold in the road race, yes? Roglic has stage wins in all grand tours and an Olympic gold (TT).

Yeah, I counted only the road race. Roglic would indeed need to be added to the list if we also consider the ITT. But I see it as a bit less prestigious, just like WC RR vs ITT.

I think it's about who'll run out of matches sooner and when.
Teddy thinks "I burn one you burn one I burn one you burn one I burn one .. you're out" on the last climb.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

They think 2nd is better than 3rd, but Vingegaard himself didn‘t have to do any defense against Remco today.

 

[BubbaChuck]

uae is preparing crazy trap on isola,vinge off course will go after it.it nuts how tables have turned.
