Tour de France Tour de France 2024, Stage 4: Pinerolo > Valloire, 139.6 km

[Boehmand]

Have no idea why MVDP is in the break today when the next two stages will be sprints.

"Because he wants to"

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Splits

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Another brisk descent - would like to sit there and just listen to the sound of fast wheels going by. (Would probably be a little frightening also.)

 

[QueenStagiaire]

UAE surprise attack

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Splits in the Peleton!

Training.

Philipsen is the sprinter.

Interesting split

 

[Netserk]

Simon Yates napping and caught behind a split in the peloton.

 

[Boehmand]

Briancon, at the foot of Galibier, is at 1,300 meters altitude

 

[skippo12]

Politt creating more GC action than Ayuso and Almeida.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

No headwind on Sestriere.

When I wrote that they were only 2/3 up on Sestriere until where they definitely had headwind. Only from Fraisse until the top they didn't have it anymore because they had turned south.

I did not see flags in the broadcast to judge it directly, but the forecast had a tailwind.

Oh I am so disappointed. Voigt learned to say Carapaz instead of Karapatsch. I was already looking forward to this as it reminds me of Pittiplatsch (part of a part of a German Kids TV show: Das Sandmännchen)

 

[DenisMenchov]

Politt is a beast

look at that headwind

Omg, I think I may have watched Sandmännchen when I lived in Germany ages ago! I'll have to find the show on youtube now to refresh my memory...

 

[Slavique Nuke]

The break is just slow. UAE rouleurs are not superheroes.

 

[jono]

I'd love to live in a place where 25km/h is considered a "strong wind".

I'd also love to live somewhere with hills larger than a highway overpass.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Interesting, all the places I had checked beforehand had NW wind. I went a bit back in the broadcast and flags were all over the place but did indeed look more like sidewind/tailwind. I stand corrected.

 

[Peyroteo94]

How is the Wind on Galibier?

Here, even with Pittiplatsch!

why are so many of the favs so far back

 

[ppanther92]

Jorgenson crashed? Was in a work meeting and couldn't watch and just tuned in now to see him chase and with a tape on his elbow.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

If break stays away ( big if I know) I would favour S Williams

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lutsenko with no white jersey is so confusing, thought it was Tejada when i turned it on
