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

[Valv.Piti]

Lazkano wants to win this stage, no doubt about that!

 

[Tim Cahill]

What is Movistar doing???

Assume they're bringing it back a bit before Lazkano tries to bridge.

 

[will-10]

What is Movistar doing???

trying to reset things for Lazkano/Aranburu presumably

 

[Netserk]

Cav looking good

 

[Valv.Piti]

"We don't want this stage, we want another flat sprinter stage instead"

 

[RedheadDane]

Always great to get a Christmas tree to hold your bike if you have a mechanical.

 

[Tommy Gun]

Strong breakaway for now

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Cavendish in 'my career is complete, let's have some fun' mode.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Cavendish in late-career Andre Greipel cobbled classics mode

 

[AmRacer]

Crazy fight

 

[Potomac]

Interview with the Champion of Belgium: Alberto Bettiol.

That's what Phil LIgget called him.

 

[ice&fire]

What is Movistar doing???

What DQS would be doing if this was 6-8 years ago. Didn't you know they've switched roles?

 

[Savant12]

Relentless pace so far.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Phil just said that Bettiol is the Champion of Belgium...DRINK!

 

[RobertCrawley]

Bettiol doesn't seem to be too concerned about today. It's not Paris-Roubaix and it's not that long, he says. They are using 30mm tubeless tires, and they have plenty of support in case of flats, etc.

 

[Savant12]

Lotto trying to pick the winning numbers.

 

[Landeirovic]

What DQS would be doing if this was 6-8 years ago. Didn't you know they've switched roles?

He watch cycling just 2 year, so its normal

 

[Valv.Piti]

Hmm dno how smart this is of De Lie

 

[Tim Cahill]

Problem for Lotto here is that they have a man but it's the wrong one, you can tell they wanted Campanaerts/De Lie in it

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Interview with the Champion of Belgium: Alberto Bettiol.

That's what Phil LIgget called him.

If he says so it must be so. I had no idea he was still active commentating. How old is he by now?

 

[Samamba]

Hmm dno how smart this is of De Lie

He will be dead mid stage. Talked too much with Campenaerts.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Unfortunately he's just done Movistar's job for them

 

[Netserk]

Vingegaard very eager to sit near the front. Lemmen with the job to protect him in the initial phase.

 

[AmRacer]

The peloton really looking forward to the first gravel section, they are going full gas to it.

 

[Netserk]

Now the rest of the Visma team has moved up.
