Tour de France Tour de France 2024, Stage 3: Plaisance (Piacenza) > Turin (Torino), 230.8 km

[AnotherArmChair]

Vinge and Pog still stuck together

 

[Netserk]

Light wind from the side at the finish, 6-8 km/h:

From their right side until the last km, then from the left in the last 700 m.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Pretty tight through those roundabouts.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Cav is 39. His poisson pilote is 39 also. Not seeing a victory this year unless something crazy happens in the final Ks.

I'm hoping he can still pull something out of his hat, but realistically I'm just not seeing it either. (Hope he can at least finish the Tour, though.)

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Pedersen down, ouch!

 

[RobertCrawley]

Pedersen down, ouch!

Casper not Mads.

 

[Netserk]

Benoot nearly overlapping Kelderman, like in Dwars.

 

[RedheadDane]

Casper not Mads.

TBF, it probably still hurts, even though his name is 'Casper'.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Casper not Mads.

Yes, Casper, not Mads.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Do we have the 5km rule?

 

[Netserk]

Do we have the 5km rule?

For this stage (and two others, I think), yes.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Do we have the 5km rule?

Mais oui.

 

[RobertCrawley]

That's the biggest "hunting lodge" I've ever seen.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Never understand why a lot of the guys are still here at this point, just stop and ride it in on your own instead of risking a crash.

That's the biggest "hunting lodge" I've ever seen.

Was about to say the same. It is just enormous!

 

[AnotherArmChair]

EF looking for the jersey

 

[Didinho]

Mathieu no leadout today.

 

[glassmoon]

mvdp down?

 

[RobertCrawley]

MVDP flat. Trying to get back on terms.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Another rider down - Armirail

 

[Tim Cahill]

VDP gone, chances of bunch crash in the last km just dropped dramatically

 

[Netserk]

Never understand why a lot of the guys are still here at this point, just stop and ride it in on your own instead of risking a crash.

What's crazy is to use Kelderman to keep Vingegaard in position. Wilco should just roll to the finish in bubble wrap 10 minutes ago.

 

[scribers]

MVP down

 

[Tim Cahill]

DSM look pretty strong but they've hit the front way too early

 

[postmanhat]

Laurance could, in theory, do a pretty decent leadout instead?
