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

[Miha81]

I guess they decided that I need an after lunch nap

 

[Tim Cahill]

Mareczko kicking himself that he isn't able to ride todays stage

 

[Netserk]

Kristoff dropped with Cavendish while Groenewegen is still in the peloton.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Race radio is constantly breaking up. I appreciate tradition as much as the next guy, but using the radio equipment from the Battle of Normandy is going overboard.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Mohoric either ill or saving himself for tomorrow, I think the latter

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Abrahamsen should sit up, *** all for him to gain on his own now the hills are done.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Just bumped in on a bit delayed signal, being a bit dissapointed about the 'no contest' opener, but didn't manage to really root in me before in same moment EF going educational.

Abrahamsen should sit up, *** all for him to gain on his own now the hills are done.

Think he will keep going at least until the sprint

May as well keep going another 15km for a free 20 green jersey points then pull over for snacks.

There's a thread for stage 5, and there's a Pedersen thread. Take your pick.

Pedersen abandoned today because of the crash earlier. The riders threads are normally not used for specific race incidents.

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.

Sometimes I think there must be something known only by the people inisde the race leading to those tactical decisions. Otherwise I just can't understand how sometimes the entire peloton wants to get into the break and literally 10 kms later absolutely nobody does for no apparent reason.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

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

I'm trying to imagine this, it's hard.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Kristoff dropped with Cavendish while Groenewegen is still in the peloton.

Groenewegen was dropped briefly but he does seem to be a bit stronger this season. Two sprinters who are climbing well today (apart from the obvious ones) are Bennett and Ackermann

 

[Salvarani]

More rain, more hills

What I was saying during my mediation today.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Go on you clowns, give him 10 minutes see what happens

 

[AnotherArmChair]

I dont think EF have given up yet

 

[Salvarani]

New Van Aert going crazy out there!

What a beast

 

[RobertCrawley]

Jegat chased potatoes.

 

[yaco]

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

The strangest thing is that tomorrow is more suited to Bettiol and Healy.

 

[Salvarani]

what was you mediation who would win todays stage?

I just wanted to get in the mood for more entertaining racing.

 

[James M]

I just wanted to get in the mood for more entertaining racing.

The more the merrier. We will manifest it.

I don't understand why some of the teams with no success so far are content to sit in the peloton. It's as if they think just being in the Tour is victory enough.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Come on Jonas, these lot can only ride as fast over the hills as their slow sprinters can take, and there's loads of downhills.

Weather suits the Norwegian, Fleche Wallone 2024 regen.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Total are so bad that they can't even make the break when only one other rider is trying. Pointless team.
