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

[PetPaima]

Would be hilarious if Healy and Pidcock instantly drop now

Powless did, right? Immediately.

He is very much out of form. Extremely weak.

 

[Netserk]

Entire Visma-LAB together.

 

[AmRacer]

Carnage

 

[dazaau]

Chaos

 

[RobertCrawley]

That rise almost broke Ballerini's legs.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

SQS all the way in the back, lol.

 

[Scarponi]

disaster on that climb

 

[scribers]

Bodies everywhere

 

[ppanther92]

Do you remember any of the Tour + Worlds last year?

Last year he was also undercooked at the Tour, agree. But still better. He for example could drag Philipsen until 250-300m to go in sprint finishes, which he is unable so far.

2022 Tour and WC were a disaster.

2021 he totally rocked the Tour and did a solid WC.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Which is slightly surprising to me. Olympics come soon.

Yeah, last year he was obviously sandbagging during the Tour, but this year he's useless even for Philipsen

 

[Peyroteo94]

Carnage!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I didn't know they put gravel on the Koppenberg.

 

[Scarponi]

Over half the peleton can’t get up the climb what a disaster

 

[Tommy Gun]

This is not bike racing

 

[RobertCrawley]

This is nutz.

 

[Eclipse]

This is so funny. Elite hill running

 

[Peyroteo94]

This is exciting!!! Bloody hell!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Offroad-specialist Mikel Landa running up the climb!!!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Simon Yates way at the back, he never learns.

 

[Didinho]

Visma drilling it. Gonna be a hard stage.

Roglic dropped.

 

[Netserk]

Rogla dropped

 

[ppanther92]

Can the commentators (German Eurosport that is) shut the complaining up? Its a gravel stage. Same for everyone. Deal with it.

 

[Scarponi]

Roglic dropped ?

 

[AmRacer]

Roglic missing?

 

[Potomac]

My only concern about gravel is increased chance of mechanicals.
