Tour de France Tour de France Femmes 2023 (July 23rd-30th)

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

It wasn't smooth, but the fact Gutierrez was able to stay with Vollering was actually quite impressive.

Yeah Gutierrez looked way more at ease than AVV at first, such a weird attack overall.

 

[jaylew]

I think Vollering may put a little time on AVV on this finish. Hope I'm wrong

 

[Samu Cuenca]

A great ride by Kastelijn who hasn't had the best of luck this year.

 

[jaylew]

No FDJ in the GC group? Disappointing once again.

 

[Red Rick]

Kastelijn is just Dutch Wout Poels

 

[Devil's Elbow]

So despite none of Van der Poel, Van Aert and Pidcock winning anything at the Tour, the streak of years in which a CX rider wins a Tour stage stays alive this year.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Chapeau Yara!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Lol, Demi.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Hahahaha did Vollering do the "Dutch special" there?

Good for her. Glad to see her road focus paying off as she'd kinda found herself off the pace in cross the last couple of years

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Did Vollering think she'd won?

Celebrating the time gap obv

 

[Red Rick]

SD Worx absolutely minimized their gains today

 

[dobrien]

Did Vollering think she'd won?

Sure looks like it; they just showed someone apparently telling her she didn't win it.

 

[Dk one]

Fdj being all, the tour is all that matters this year, and probably ends up doing worse in both the classics and the tour than last year. Even with Cavalli not at her full, they cannot be satisfied with Muzic and CUL..

SD Worx just throwing away a win today. Such stupid riding by Kopecky, just work for Vollering, she's the overwhelming favourite on this stage!

Great riding by Kastelijn. Always rides with a lot of heart.

 

[Red Rick]

First half of the stage was flat, but good to see a good hard womens race of nearly 180km. Starting to approach 5 hours.

That's the SD Worx way of doing things though. We should just be happy Vollering wasn't able to bridge across.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Ok, Vollering with more like an asking "Did I win" gesture. Both SD Worx as well as Movistar with some proper weird tactics today, AVV hasn't looked punchy all season and was similar today. SD Worx is just letting Kopecky do whatever she wants when they probably could've taken almost a minute with Vollering on AVV across all those last stages (including boni).

nice s bomb from Demi

Definitely; this design really worked out in the end. SDW silly tactics certainly helped Yara.

Hey, she's getting better; those used to be F-bombs!!

 

[JosefK]

Demi got Kiesenhofered!

Yeah, but when it then comes together, get on the front and bring Vollering as close as possible. Kopecky just didn't do anything.

She had tried very hard to win. I donot know how she is gasping for breath and talking at the same time
