Tour de France Tour de France 2024, Stage 18, Gap - Barcelonnette, 179.5k

[Potomac]

What did he do? I thought he was dropped a while ago?!?

The peleton 10 minutes behind caught Healy

Flashbacks to stage 18 of the Tour last year when Campenaerts towed 3 guys to just beat the charging peloton in a sprint finish.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

For several years now, the Tour has kept track of which rider has spent the most kilometers in breakaways overall over 3 weeks.

Now it's time for refined statistics:
The rider with the most wasted power-kilometres in the legs.
Seems like Healey takes the prize (though could be defined as "no contest" really).

 

[Tim Cahill]

Come on Vercher. Best result before this 3rd on a Giro del Veneto stage

 

[Andre]

Cras should go by himself...if he can. He could gain a lot of positions

 

[Potomac]

Vercher?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Come on Vercher. Best result before this 3rd on a Giro del Veneto stage

It's a one-day race.

 

[Andre]

but it looks like "chase two" is giving up

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

It's a one-day race.

And today is a long-day race.

 

[Samamba]

2nd group stalling.

 

[Heston]

Carapaz/Van Aert group is not making it back

 

[Tricycle Rider]

What did he do? I thought he was dropped a while ago?!?

He rejoined the peloton.

 

[Didinho]

Looking good for the trio. Hope they stay away.

 

[Heston]

Team Wout trying to drag the big group across to his teammate out front...

 

[Samamba]

Visma changing plans again.

There still a lot of uphill parts, if it was flat those 3 wouldve definitely be gone, now I'm not sure if teams start sacrificing riders for example.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Too late Wout

 

[Tim Cahill]

It's a one-day race.

Oh yeah was reading down the list of his results and got it muddled up with his other best result, a legendary 3rd on Rwanda Tour stage 4 2023 which we surely all remember

 

[scribers]

Wout just drags good riders around with him.

 

[BullsFan22]

Pogi to launch one in the finale

 

[Landeirovic]

Weird Visma Tactics

Visma changing plans again.

I'm off understanding Visma-logics of today with two indeed Tour deciding stages upcoming...

 

[Samamba]

2nd group not making it actually might save the big group. Now Lemmen, Lazkano, etc will start riding full. Definitely still doable. If that group just hangs in between for the next 5kms it might be over tho

 

[Devil's Elbow]

It would be Kwiatkowski's third Tour stage win. Crazy that the first one was in 2020 given the buildup of the rest of his palmares.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

3rd group have had it. Was half hoping to see Movistar try to chase down Carapaz at some point, just for old times' sake

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Ultramythical Meintjes attack!
