Tour de France Tour de France 2024, Stage 2: Cesenatico > Bologne (Bologna), 199.2 km

[Peyroteo94]

Where is Soler and Sivakov to increase the pace?

 

[Tim Cahill]

ISN doing a great job slowing it down getting in the way, fair play

 

[slim charles]

Pogi's next attack for bidons could be fatal

 

[Miha81]

Vingo covering all water bottle moves

He looked strong 🤣😂 Pogi looks bored of this s*** so I guess trolling the whole field is only thing to do

 

[Didinho]

The winner is in front.

Hope Pogi drops a watt bomb an the next ascent. Not a lot of teammates left. Gonna be every leader for himself. Remco and Vingo looked good.

 

[Lequack]

So I guess UAE will not test Vinge, Roglic and others. Vinge actually looks pretty spritely today.

 

[Valv.Piti]

The most expensive team being nowhere and 4 of the riders just casually riding their own race. Pathetic display! Pog needs reliable people like Bjerg and Majka, not clowns like Almeida and Ayuso!

 

[Salvarani]

This Roglic climb. Expect big things on the next one.

 

[Filippo_3467]

Teddy attacked ... for bidons! UAE doing nothing.

Other question: Where is his whole team? UAE not looking that great atm. maybe the "co-leaders" are sandbagging a bit so that they don't have to accidentially pull for Pogi if someone attacks.

 

[Kangaridoo]

What's the point of keeping the break just outside of reach? Waste of energy for nothing

 

[Brullnux]

Visma makes no sense whatsoever

in what sense? they've done a Sky-era faux pacing to slow it all down

 

[Froome]

I agree but that doesnt mean the racing their doing is boring to watch. Ofc agree on the onus is not on them but still boring to watch not their fault noone else go and ride.

Vingegaard doesn't need to attack here. Firstable, he is in good shape but he came from injuries, and his territory is in the last 8 days in the Pyrenees and the alpes, not in cote de san luca.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogi needs to humiliate Yates, Almeida and Ayuso. He needs to show who is the boss

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

You go from so jackleg assessment that they're intentionally soft pedealing, to now, "THEY'RA BACK." Which is it then?

ME: I think they sh!t the bed last time up, and next time up will sh!t the bed again.

 

[Filippo_3467]

This Roglic climb. Expect big things on the next one.

Wouldn't bet on it. He was the only captain that didn't move up on the climb and was out of position. He will ride defensively and maybe even hope that it won't be raced hard until the sprint for the bonis.

 

[Netserk]

Break better not halt now. C'mon, keep going!

 

[CyclistAbi]

But bonus seconds is out of reach so damage might not be that big.

On flat sprint it's up to UAE to set Pogi up, if it would be MTF inted, then i agree Bora would need to make sure of that. Still, regardless of the bonus seconds being at play or not. They now have Jonas isolated and it's time to stress test Jonas and potentially some other GC leader. By they i am referring mostly to UAE superstar line-up.

 

[RobertCrawley]

The time gap hasn't changed in the last few Ks.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Pogi needs to humiliate Yates, Almeida and Ayuso. He needs to show who is the boss

Everyone and their grandma knows UAE will take top4 in the GC so some inner tensions are understandable.

 

[Salvarani]

Wouldn't bet on it. He was the only captain that didn't move up on the climb and was out of position. He will ride defensively and maybe even hope that it won't be raced hard until the sprint for the bonis.

Damn, that would be a missed opportunity.

 

[Medvind]

If Yates sets up Pog with a hard push, Pog will take 15-20s on Vinge I believe.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Just how many lungs does Abrahamsen have?

 

[Samamba]

Vauquelin wins

 

[scribers]

Apparently this break is stronger than the GC doms

 

[tobydawq]

Will Abrahamsen actually win this stage?
