Tour De France 2024 Stage 8: Semur-en-Auxois – Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, 183.4k

[Tim Cahill]

Santi wants some of that time back

 

[RobertCrawley]

Looks like the race organizers put Phil and Bobke's little yellow RV in the middle of a wheat field.

 

[Salvarani]

Ciccone!

 

[AnotherArmChair]

I bet the GC guys and some of the sprinters hate Healy

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The problem for the stronger puncheurs is that there's only one more climb before the terrain becomes a lot easier.

 

[Salvarani]

Abrahamsen is insane.

The new and improved Van Aert.

 

[scribers]

True. It's 4D chess stuff like chasing down your own breakaway that really sets EF apart.

They have fully neutralized themselves on the day. But it’s really a brilliant long game vaughters is playing that will take months if not years to be fully understood

calm down

 

[Salvarani]

calm down

Who is better this season?

 

[Netserk]

Polka-dots with the same effect as striped pants on a twerker.

Who is better this season?

Bettiol

I don't know. You have a couple of guys in a three-man break that will never, ever work. Why not back off a little in hopes of other guys joining and making the break a possibility?

 

[Salvarani]

Bettiol

Laughable. That claim is getting thrown out of this courtroom.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The problem for the stronger puncheurs is that there's only one more climb before the terrain becomes a lot easier.

On second thought, the problem for the stronger puncheurs is that they aren't attacking this climb whatsoever. Sprint it is, then?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Carapaz is waiting for a move to follow, seems only EF want to make something happen though unfortunately.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Good morning!

Cort, Powless, Abrahamsen in the break. Cort wins by a mustache hair.

Good morning, RC, we meet again!

I'm completely bummed Mads is a DNS (just found out because I just woke up), besides Fabio he's my fave sprinter in this race. Crap...

I like the idea of Cort's mustache winning this stage though, so, go Magnus!

 

[Valv.Piti]

So they are just giving up again? Pathetic

 

[Colombiano Cadence]

Excitement over for the day

 

[Danskebjerge]

wrong thread

Please link to the “Mads Pedersen has abandoned” thread then.

 

[Kangaridoo]

It's definitely about Healy and getting closer to yellow with another attack tomorrow. But the shed too much time by waiting for Carapaz on Galibier.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

It makes zero sense. All that work to get the sprinter teams where they needed them to be and then immediately everyone stops trying. Throw in whatever EF are doing and the sprinter teams not letting the gap go out more before the hills to begin with and it really feels like the rain has washed away half the peloton's brains.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Gaviria with a mechanical.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Cavendish has come closer to the peloton on this climb.

I guess peloton is coming together :/
