Tour de France Tour de France Stage 6, Mâcon-Dijon, 162.5k

I wonder what could be done if the lack of breakaways becomes an everyday occurence. More reward for combativité maybe?

I was talking about flat and rolling stages... [[content deleted]]

GC team cannot work every stage.

GC team cannot work every stage.

Theoretically rouleurs could provide more of a help every stage since they aren’t working too deep into the mountains.

Imagine having a better team in the mountains, having a better preparation for the Tour without serious injuries, a route made by the organisation again more suited to him, having good roleurs like Wellens and Pollit who have been doing a great job until today, and then still complaining of something.
Every team makes mistakes sometimes.

 

[Didinho]

Another attempt!

Wellens and Politt with Pogi in front.

More train crossings to split the groups.

@Peyroteo94 is a bit nervous, forgive him. He'll be much calmer when Teddy overtakes Vingo during the TT tomorrow!

What sort of possible Tour route would be unsuited to UAE and Pogi?

The only problem is on the flat stages, so you just reduce that. All the other stages are a furious start

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Pogacar probably happy that Ayuso and Almeida are dropped. Best case scenario for him is both of them losing five minutes today.

Fast forward 1 week. Ayuso and Almeida bickering about who gets to be 34th in GC.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

 

[Netserk]

I think we'll see a proper push again in ~10 km.

Can n't wait for the defending of GC position.

The true is the route of the Tour 2022 was almost perfect for Vingegaard, but the reality is the route of the Tour 2023 except for the stage of La loze and the route of this year, was made again to please more the french and Pogacar.

Suddenly, there is less mountain stages and hard mountain stages. Ventoux, col Madeleine, granon, Portet, iseran, alpe d'huez, the most hard and steep climbs of France were forgotten by the ASO, and except for the stage of Plateau de beille, they are doing short mountain stages, instead of more >200 km mountain stages with >5000 vertical meters.

Then, i hope he will be more nervous after tomorrow!

 

[RobertCrawley]

I agree with Bobke. I've never heard Christian Prudhomme give an interview in English. It was terrific.

They should have just shuttled everyone to 10K to go, and that should have been the race.

 

[Netserk]

I think this is the moment to start accelerating. Very soon.

EDIT: Hmm, too sheltered.

 

[Penninepeddler]

Astana did such a good job yesterday guiding Cav through ~15km-3km to go... when ofc then he had to start wheel-surfing as the train got broken up. Chose the correct side of the road and held it through multiple sections.

Wonder if they pick the left side of the track today with the curve at 3km, the pinchpoint then the roundabout with only 500m to go?

If they get him to 3km in the frontish group then it is technical enough for him to thrive for sure. More technical than yesterday where his positioning was fantastic.

Lol looks just like if they had neutralised the stage right now. What's going on? Haven't really followed the stage.

I haven't either, and it turns out that not watching the stage, and doing some cooking, was much more interesting than watching the stage.

You missed Pogi getting left on his own in a split of the peloton.

I should have watched. My boss told me earlier "take the boredom you need to be creative".

Wout looks like he might be up for a go.
