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

[iBanesto]

Though shall not touch Jonas bike neutral service, go away

Because there is a motor in there...

Can't risk it.

 

[Tim Cahill]

They definitely did but will probably say that they were already on the front and just going fast to keep Pogi safe...

but they put 15-20 seconds into the breakaway from point Vingegaard punctured to like 2 minutes later. A pretty large pace increase.

Looked like they were on the front setting a tempo then immediately lifted it whilst it pans to Tratnik on the side of the road.

They'll claim plausible deniability but the timing didn't make it look good.

 

[ppanther92]

still not sure what group Vingegaard is actually in lmao

Front. Handled it very well with Tratnik's bike.

 

[fbjim]

Honestly great save by Visma, learned their lesson from 2022.

they did fine in 2022, the bike swap looked silly but realistically they handled it about as well as they could have

 

[noob]

never gets old!

 

[AmRacer]

Tadej does an SB.

 

[dazaau]

Yes yes, talk pogi and mvdp

 

[Eclipse]

still not sure what group Vingegaard is actually in lmao

He was never even out of the front group lol. Commentary just making a mega panic out of nothing.

Vinge wouldn't have made it back so quickly if they were really pushing.

 

[RobertCrawley]

I wonder now if Jonas will wait if Tadej has a mechanical.

 

[Potomac]

Next gravel section almost here

 

[scribers]

Pogi offered Vingo his bike and Vingo said no. So they drilled it

What else can be said?

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Oh and don't give me shite about Pog being such a nice generous guy, UAE definitely put them hammer down when they saw Vingegaard moving out with a mechanical. Don't have an issue with it, just don't play it down and I hope his fan cult noticed.

 

[noob]

Who in UAE is dropped now? Yates??

 

[perico]

We’re clearly seeing how weak UAE are on a gravel stage … 😆

Marc Soler is never weak. He is a man’s man.

 

[Stubb]

No more punctures for Vinge, Tratnik is not coming back I guess.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

And now, the two hardest sectors of the day. If they want true carnage, this is the time.

 

[iBanesto]

never gets old!

Wonder if this will mean Roglic will then crash into a traffic bale again...

 

[scribers]

Who in UAE is dropped now? Yates??

A long time ago

 

[slim charles]

UAE clearly didn't push super hard once Jonas was behind. If they were he would not be back that easily

 

[postmanhat]

MVDP chatting with Pog. Next sector could be fun.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

TBF I think taking any and all opportunities to screw over Richard Plugge is evidence of being a good person. Not doing so is a sign of cowardice and of complicity.

 

[Savant12]

Every gravel sector.
Eurosport comms: "Where is Primoz Roglic?"

 

[Samamba]

Really did not expect this break to be caught this early

 

[Netserk]

Adam Yates at the back.
