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

[Mayomaniac]

Remco is too light for descending fast.

New Quickstep narrative, weight loss hurts his descending ability?

 

[wheresmybrakes]

From personal experience, fat rolls faster downhill, so Remco should have kept the weight on.

 

[ppanther92]

I also think the 3 will finish together actually.

Still possible but Rodriguez going past Evenepoel already.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Poor old Evenepoel in great climbing form but looks like he's going for his weekly shop and found himself descending the Galibier.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Tadej is descending faster than Jonas. Up to 16 seconds now.

 

[iBanesto]

Up to 17 seconds lead for Pogacar.

 

[Gigs_98]

Remco giving those lightweights a headstart for the rouleur part of the descent

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Remco and descending, eh?

 

[ppanther92]

In the flatter part, Remco has to do quite some damage control...

 

[skippo12]

Tadej is descending faster than Jonas. Up to 16 seconds now.

Not technical and Pog has a bigger engine.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This is why you need descent finishes, if you're *** at them you should be punished at least a couple of times in a GT, and if you're great at them you should be rewarded. Both are on show here.

 

[Scarponi]

Wish we saw Evans, Nibali and Sammy Sanchez on this descent

 

[Tricycle Rider]

INTENSE!

Watching Pog descending right now is scarier than a horror movie!

 

[iBanesto]

My boy... Carlos "Mr. Reliable" Rodriguez.

 

[Didinho]

Remco looks scared. A shame when he’s climbing like this.

 

[ontheroad]

Rodriguez doing a great descent, could ride back up to Vingegaard at this rate.

 

[titan31]

Jonas needs CRod and Roglic to catch up. Might be able to catch up then on the flatter part if they work together

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Remco is too light for descending fast.

His fat is acting as a parachute.

 

[Mayomaniac]

This is why you need descent finishes, if you're *** at them you should be punished at least a couple of times in a GT, and if you're great at them you should be rewarded. Both are on show here.

Adam Hansen has left the chat.

 

[Lorzenz08]

30 seconds could be a nice lead for Pogi already.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Jonas needs CRod and Roglic to catch up. Might be able to catch up then on the flatter part if they work together

Not much flat to work with.

 

[scribers]

If this plays out, Vingo will have to be worried about time bonus at the finish too.

 

[iBanesto]

Watching Pog descending right now is scarier than a horror movie!

Pogacar just did a head turn at 76 km/hr...

Geez!

 

[RedheadDane]

Who else keeps seeing the white jersey, and think Pogacar?

 

[Penninepeddler]

Vingegaard is a good technical descender , but now it has got a bit less twisty Pogi just eeking out the seconds.
