Tour de France Femmes 2024 (August 12th-18th)

[awavey]

A golden bike but not golden wheels. Probably chance of a good result gone given the shortness of the stage

 

[Izzyeviel]

Audrey Cordon-Ragot - What do we call that position? Praying Mantis or timid hamster?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Now both Faulkner and Van Dijk have failed to match Adegeest from T1 to the finish.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

But Dygert has a slightly bigger gap at T1, so perhaps she'll be able to finish it off.

 

[Keldergoat]

Friggin' hell, it took some time for me to get hyped for Womens' cycling tbh, but seeing them flying across my own town is good fun to watch.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Dygert does it, but only just.

 

[awavey]

First 4 riders covered by less than 1.4 seconds.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Okay NL, you have a goddamn Hotel of Gouda or whats going on

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Fast start by Vollering. Bredewold and Norsgaard both rode faster than Dygert from T1 to the finish, so it's not impossible for Demi to do the same.

 

[Didinho]

Impressive Demi. This wil give her confidence. And maybe yellow already?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I wonder if the wind has changed slightly.

 

[Red Rick]

Impressive Demi. This wil give her confidence. And maybe yellow already?

Should be yellow already

 

[Red Rick]

I wonder if the wind has changed slightly.

We mastered the water. Now we conquer the winds

 

[Keldergoat]

Holy moly, that's the home advantage of a rider coming from Rotterdam. What a ride by Demi.

 

[yaco]

In my opinion a shock result! Did not see that coming.

 

[nightowl]

Wow that’s an insane TT from Vollering on such a short flat course

 

[Didinho]

Should be yellow already

I’m thinking about Wiebes maybe.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Vollering is in insane shape, surely nobody can touch her in the real mountains?

 

[Kaptain Kool]

Why would Vollering need confidence? It would be a shock if she wins the GC by less than 3 minutes.

 

[RedheadDane]

Norsgaard stuck in the high gear. 56/10 to be specific.
(Or however you write gearing like that.)

 

[nightowl]

I’m thinking about Wiebes maybe.

Kool could do a decent TT on this course too

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Wiebes is 6 seconds behind at T1, so I don't think she'll be making it.

A bit late to post this:

but it gives some fun context to the race

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Looks like there won't be anymore singing on the DSM bus tonight.

Lol was Demi celebrating there when Wiebes didn't beat her time 🤣
