Tour de France Tour de France 2024, Stage 9: Troyes > Troyes, 199.0 km

[Rackham]

?

Visma, Ineos & Quick-Step all worked to keep the gap versus Rog. UAE didn't.

I respect that.

 

[Medvind]

If MVDP goes Pog might try to go with him, especially if MVDPs attack comes late.

 

[Le Grand Doop]

visma only team that is completely bossing so far.

 

[ppanther92]

Have to say FDJ overpromised and underdelivers a lot. Gaudu, Martinez, Gregoire - all highly regarded. And in the end Madouas is the strongest. Weird.

 

[Peyroteo94]

C'mon Rog is not a threat. Pog knows that, Jinas knows that. They simply don't care and stage 14 will show that. This is Pog vs Vingegaard!

Visma, Ineos & Quick-Step all worked to keep the gap versus Rog. UAE didn't.

I respect that.

Ineos and QS commited a rider way too late, Visma was also not full out rotation pacing. UAE had Ayuso behind and Pogacar simply isn't worried enough about Roglic, if Vingegaard is behind he puts the hammer down, Ayuso being there or not.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Average race speed so far is 47.67 km/h.
(95.4 km covered in 02:00:08).

 

[dazaau]

The podium belongs to UAE, Visma, and Soudal.

INEOS should be riding for 4th and doing away with Roglic

I think that's very very premature. SQS should be very worried about roglic. The terrain so far has mostly been to Remco's advantage, and he is often great in week 1. Come the multi mountain days in week 3 you would like as much time on roglic as you can get.

Yates is in the rear group

I'm no expert, but I thought the object of the race was to beat your opponents.

If Rog had a mechanical, the leaders might slow down. But otherwise. . .

Pog isn't worried about Rog... but apparently Vinge is. Okay.

The truth is Andrej Hauptman in the UAE car didn't take advantage of the situation.

 

[AmRacer]

Why too many cars behind the 2 first groups.

 

[Samamba]

This just gonna be a sprint in the end. Intermarché will start riding after the hills, Alpecin will maybe too if they don't believe Vermeersch can win.

Gap is getting smaller and smaller.

Dude, missed the split fair and square. Stop pretending Roglic was hit by bad luck....

 

[ppanther92]

Aranburu dropped, would have ragarded him stronger

Vinge doesn't know for sure if he is riding for first or podium yet given his crash. So I think that does make sense.

I thought Lenny was a late addition and not really prepared? Otherwise I might count gregoire as curiously absent so far

 

[RobertCrawley]

Every DS, all day: Get organized, get in the front.

 

[Le Grand Doop]

remco effort having to place himself.

 

[Peyroteo94]

This is legendary! Love it!! This is pure cycling!

 

[iBanesto]

Wow the dust!

Racing in the the Sahara from the looks of it.

 

[perico]

Aranburu dropped, would have ragarded him stronger

He worked hard to bridge the gap. Probably burned out

 

[Potomac]

Powless .....not his day,

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Vingegaard mechanical

 

[ppanther92]

Vingegaard puncture?
