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

[perico]

Movistar asleep again.

I think the plan was to have Lazkano, so since his mechanical, they’ve been like chickens without their heads.

 

[iBanesto]

Nice to see Pogacar riding for Almeida and Ayuso.

Those boys are not pulling at all.

 

[Samamba]

Ackermann is insane today for some reason

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Ackermann?!

 

[scribers]

I die a little every time bobke says cobbles

 

[fenns]

is there a prize for least aggressive rider? Vingegaard would win it most days

 

[AmRacer]

Remco turning as old people

 

[ppanther92]

Ackermann is insane today for some reason

Yes, bit weird. Cause he will sprint for a lower top 10 at best.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pogacar trying but he's tired, don't blame him it's been a tough day. Rest day tomorrow.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Jonas does not like the turns on gravel. Lower the tire pressure, man.

 

[dgodave]

This is more powder than "gravel".

 

[dazaau]

This is great but seems rather futile

 

[benzwire]

Primoz Roglic losing no time today is an absolutely staggering outcome.

It's not over yet. He still has time to screw up...

 

[Gigs_98]

Ayuso should attack now

 

[jono]

This is probably the most egregious motor-pacing of the Tour so far.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Roglic didn't lose time because no one cares about him

 

[ppanther92]

Ayuso rode the perfect race. In the main group and saved all of the energy in the world.

 

[KZD]

We are lucky that we live on a generation with riders like Pogacar, Remco or Van der Poel which are not afraid to attack from afar.

Stuyven will win the stage, deserved.

 

[AmRacer]

Mathieu disappointing

 

[iBanesto]

This is more powder than "gravel".

 

[kingjr]

I hate when stages like these end in a solo win (by someone who is not relevant in GC)

 

[scribers]

Tratnik’s bike was programmed to wheel suck

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Primoz Roglic losing no time today is an absolutely staggering outcome.

This is probably evidence of the 2013-ness of this.

From 120km to 70km to go, ***** race. From 70km home, it's all fallen apart. And a legion of fans arguing that the best time to race defensively and ensure you don't contribute is when you outnumber the race leader in an attack and have distanced all of the rest of your competition and getting upset at people suggesting that, in fact, deliberately killing a move that you only stand to gain from unless you completely screw it up, in order to ensure that you make sure everybody comes in on the same time, is in fact not the smartest move for a team who lost the Tour de France on the penultimate day four years ago doing this exact thing.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Aranburu is riding like prime Valverde.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Comically futile Matthews attack
