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

[iBanesto]

Zingle to mingle.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

He's never gonna drop them, so it's still no damn use. Just better to have it all come back and not be isolated.

I'm getting 2013 stage 9 horror flashbacks, all that good racing to isolate the favourite in the early days, guys like Porte having a pajará, and at 60 to go we thought it would be a biblically great stage... only for everybody to ride at Rubén Plaza's pace all the way up the last climb, and the entire GC mix to come in together.

*Edit: put wrong year, it was 2013

Jonas knows where he will be at his best. When he dropped Tadej last year on the Col de la Loze, that was very exciting stuff.

Not really, Pog was not in a condition to even put on a fight that day. Complete anticlimax to what had been a terrific race to that point.

 

[Blobs]

trying to distance roglic is wierd make it make sense its pure defansive ridding andnothing else and nothing new its a reason i guess he has two fans outside danmark Oh well shame. Coulda been a epic stage

People are insane if they think he should be attacking from 70Km out, when he's not even on his own bike.

Make it make sense, lol

and it won't happen this year.

Not as likely this year, for sure. For one thing, Jonas needs a strong team to toughen the race in the big mountains, and it's not clear that he does. And of course he's coming back from injuries, and it's unknown just how good he is or will be.

 

[AmRacer]

Remco and Tadej visiting the breakaway and said, 'Hi guys, see you again in 50 km. We are dropping back'

 

[noob]

Something off with Remco bike?

 

[PetPaima]

Biniam has been there rather anonymously and terrain eases up. He is in contention again.

 

[Peyroteo94]

No Remco!!!

 

[Le Grand Doop]

remco too far back.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Come on Felix, you're from the same place as multiple time Mtb marathon wc Alban Lakata. Just ride a bit with him when you're at home to improve on gravel.

 

[Didinho]

Nooo Remco. Stay calm.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Bambi moment?

 

[jsem94]

The f is he doing..

 

[Miha81]

Come on Remco. Keep cool.

 

[iBanesto]

Evenepoel in difficulty!

 

[AmRacer]

Remco dropped

+1. I find it interesting to say the least that many people expect him to be at his best in week 3. I expect the opposite to happen giving his troubles after the crash. I'll have some eyebrows raised if he beats everyone.

 

[ppanther92]

Remco doesn't love the deep gravel

 

[Salvarani]

Remco in trouble now

Bad positioning

 

[Netserk]

Plot twist!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

In news that will surely shock you all, in an environment where supreme technical bike handling and luck are two key factors, Enric Mas has been dropped.

 

[AmRacer]

He spent too much attacking

 

[Medvind]

Remco, Remco, what are you doing.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogi will attack!
