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

He looked drunk

Yes. I don't think he was, though.

 

[yaco]

He should not be complaining about putting guys in barriers.

My name is not Dylan Groenewegen. And he was sensible enough not to try to push through.

 

[Boehmand]

the question is if the rule would neutralize the yellow jersey battle. If nothing changes between now and day 21 carapaz wins because of what happened within 5k today

I didn't see that question.

I merely commented on why GC riders were slow rolling across the line.

 

[cellardoor]

I can't believe Pogacar let Carapaz escape to get the yellow jersey. This is Giro '19 all over again

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Healy, for no reason, wants to wiggle in between Evenepoel and Pogacar to cross over in front of Evenepoel to the other side of the road, to "sprint" ahead of their bunch while they were freewheeling towards the finish. Evenepoel simply thinking WTF is this guy doing.

Then Evenepoel has a very limited comprehension of the race situation. Or he thinks Healy knows how many guys were between Remco and Carapaz and actually knows exactly what‘s going on.

 

[James M]

He was gesturing to Pogi about the EF rider.

Remco now apparently the #1 Pogi stan.

He sure seems to love him. Well then again noone holds so much respect in the peleton as he does. Was a cool picture on twitter yesterday where Evenpoel goes to pogacar and tell him about carapaz not working with him then their laughing their asses of something on the spinner together.

 

[yaco]

A strange stage. Grmay wins when he is not supposed to sprint, then Carapaz is desperate for the yellow, while Taday and Remco are chilling.

 

[Keldergoat]

If you would've told me the first three stages were won by DSM, Arkea and IGW I would consider you batshit crazy but here we are and I love it.

 

[Pantani_lives]

It's a historic day for countries with E: the first stage winner from Eritrea and the first yellow jersey for Ecuador.

 

[Boehmand]

I can't believe Pogacar let Carapaz escape to get the yellow jersey. This is Giro '19 all over again

- and then he hit the last 4 K of Galibier when Pogacar kicks

 

[scribers]

Oh wow this is Carapazs first time in yellow?

 

[ingsve]

Daryl Impey?

Even Chris Froome was born in Africa even though he changed to a brittish racing license before he won a stage in the Tour.

 

[Boehmand]

It's a historic day for countries with E: the first stage winner from Eritrea and the first yellow jersey for Ecuador.

I'm banking on the order being reverse alphabetical this year

 

[tobydawq]

If you would've told me the first three stages were won by DSM, Arkea and IGW I would consider you batshit crazy but here we are and I love it.

And Uno-X and Movistar the other teams to get in the top 2.

 

[tobydawq]

Oh wow this is Carapazs first time in yellow?

Yes...?

 

[scribers]

That’s it! This thread is combative winner today !

 

[AnotherArmChair]

I expect Carapaz to put up a massive fight to keep the jersey tomorrow

 

[RedheadDane]

I'm banking on the order being reverse alphabetical this year

I don't think there are any firsts left for Denmark...

 

[AnotherArmChair]

But Carapaz will need Remco to lead him to the line ..so might wait for him

 

[RedheadDane]

C. Pedersen broken collarbone...

 

[ingsve]

Abrahamsen holds on to both his jerseys. I'm expecting him in the breakaway again tomorrow to try and hold on to one if not both jerseys. The peloton might not let a break go before the sprint though.

Healey is that kid that wears his helmet in the playground. Remco should treat him with kindness

 

[topcat]

Carapaz got the leader's jersey in giro '19 cause Roglic wanted to wheelsuck Nibali. Now Carapaz gets the yellow jersey after wheelsucking the ass off Remco yesterday. It's a great day for anyone who has a wheelsucking fetish.

Whose wheel will he do this fight on?
