Tour de France Tour de France 2024: Stage 20: Nice - Col de la Couillole, 20/07, 132.8k

[Bolder]

Visma is making enemies everywhere, Kelderman is not working.

Why should he? He may be needed as a satellite rider

 

[Netserk]

From what we have seen if he makes a move he is in the top 10 and the whole peloton, led by uae, will shut him down.

And then the gap to the breakaway closes and everyone is angry (particularly here) again.

Maybe best to concede

Sounds like a good plan to me. Let them be angry.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Carlos Rodriguez will be pleased, he's got away with one here

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Lol. They practically pushed Carapaz over the 40 point Bonette yesterday, now they take 1 point off of him, and theyre rhe pathetic ones?

First kill your KOM hopes, then be mad about it and annoy others is both pathetic and dumb.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Why should he? He may be needed as a satellite rider

Satellite, for whom?

 

[dazaau]

Sounds like a good plan to me. Let them be angry.

But then Pog wins. And it appears no one wants that!

 

[iBanesto]

A very wise person once said about the bad blood between UAE and Jumbo/Visma:

Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we got bad blood

 

[KZD]

If Pog wanted one of his team mates to win today he would have let them go in the break ?

but lets see what he does when the break is pulled in

Soler is in the break, Pogačar won't win this stage, he is happy with how things are playing out.

 

[Heston]

Wait are people actually mad at Jorgenson for trying to get some points? Are you also mad when Coquard takes indermediary points in front of Girmay or Philipsen?

Its a race. If Carapaz wants the points he has to ride faster than the other riders trying to take the points.

 

[BigCoward]

1.5

No. It was close up until stage 14.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Now Soler and Traknik are at it

 

[Potomac]

Wait are people actually mad at Jorgenson for trying to get some points? Are you also mad when Coquard takes indermediary points in front of Girmay or Philipsen?

Its a race. If Carapaz wants the points he has to ride faster than the other riders trying to take the points.

If by "people" you mean Carapaz and the rest of EF I think they are mad.
I can't imagine anyone else upset.
Maybe Ecuador.

Sean Kelly: "Vingegaard, he has killed a man in front".

Me: "He what? Ah, Kelderman"

 

[RobertCrawley]

Hincapie: You aren't awarded anything for taking the most pulls.

 

[Netserk]

I'd be really petty in a situation like this. Tell Kelderman that he doesn't hit the front again until he can strike for the stage win. They pulled enough for two stages yesterday.

 

[houtdffan]

now we are seeing a sensible stage

going to the break for sure. Nobody wants to actually chase today

 

[Heston]

Pretty weak break. Expected to see Buitrago or Gee going for it

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Pretty weak break. Expected to see Buitrago or Gee going for it

Gee has tried, and Buitrago looks to be quite tired.

 

[Faserr]

Pretty weak break. Expected to see Buitrago or Gee going for it

Top 10 wasn't let in by UAE

 

[dazaau]

You would think this means a win for Carapaz or Mas. Carapaz has had better form but has also been very busy the last few days.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

So the break is weak because the guys who weren't strong enough to go up the climb with the best aren't there.

 

[Heston]

If by "people" you mean Carapaz and the rest of EF I think they are mad.
I can't imagine anyone else upset.
Maybe Ecuador.

There are definitely some mad people in this thread.

 

[Lorzenz08]

Well I actually find Pog a pain in the arse ...the *** he talks in interviews and the way he wont let Visma get a stage ...that is c*** behaviour to me

So if you dont like Visma that si your choice but to think Pog is some hero is rubbish. I am watching some very questionable results and petty *** from him

Pogi is just getting his revenge from last year when Visma were mocking him all along, we remember very well don't worry !!!!

Constantly saying that they know Pogi's numbers and they're inferiors to Vingo so they knew they will win no matter what. Constantly saying Vingegaard has superior recovery. Constantly mocking his last km attacks saying that's all he do.

End of story. They deserve everything happening to them now. Too much arrogance.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Actual legit shot at a Wilco victory, he's in great form too, just needs to play it right this is getting seriously exciting.

 

[skippo12]

Unleash Politt one more time. I am all for a breakaway win but they have to earn it.
