Jewbacca Posted July 21, 2022 Share 12 hours ago, OVERDRIVE said: I'm still new to all the strategy, but ending thr tour hoping not to crash and following the other guy just isnt my thing. Bascally am just waiting for a flat or crash...loosing three weeks over 2s is painful. This is one reason I'm a classics/Monuments fan over grand tours. These two have definitely brought a different dynamic to the GC battle though. In times past it has often failed to live up to the hype. The last couple of editions have been pretty exciting as Pog brings it. He likes to win bike races not just accumulate seconds. For this reason I'm expecting some fireworks today. In my very limited capacity, I think he needs to claw back to within a minute to give himself a chance in the ITT an JV will do everything they can to prevent this. Vengagaard doesn't need to win anything, he just needs to limit his losses. Rowl, Vetplant and gerriemtb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted July 21, 2022 Share Just a reiteration of the UCI points system, showing some sort of picture of the value of GC position vs Stage winners vs Other Jerseys. If Louis can end up in 6th in GC, it is worth more than 3 stage wins, which is interesting. Green Jersey getting the same as a single stage win, seems a bit odd. Going for Green over 3 weeks seems like way more effort? GC top 10: Stage position: Green/Polka dot final position: Jewbacca and TheoG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TP probably more than JV - if they finish in the order they are in now. So UCI result for TdF: 1) TP 2) JV 3) WvA Or am I understanding this wrong ?

Some rough maths(please correct me if I'm wrong somewhere, anyone): TP: Stage results(Assuming no more Top 5 placings): 25+120+120+25+5+5+120=420 Wearing Yellow(per stage):5*25=125 2nd on GC(Final):800 TOTAL:1345 Jonas: Stage results(Assuming no more Top 5 placings): 50+120+50=220 Yellow(per stage, assuming he holds it till Paris):11*25=275 Yellow(Final):1000 TOTAL:1495 GT Stage results(Assuming no more Top 5 placings): 5+15+15=35 3rd on GC(Final):675 TOTAL:710 (So he beats WvA on UCI points) WVA: Stage results(Assuming no more Top 5 placings): 50+50+50+120+120+50 = 440 Wearing Yellow(per stage):4*25 = 100 Green(Final):120 TOTAL:660 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJuice Posted July 21, 2022 Share Two of my top climbs in the Pyrenees on today`s stage. Col de Spandelles is one of my favorite col`s, it was 4 degrees while climbing. Col de Aubisque is also a favorite and time wise one of my better climbs, on a 25 rear sprocket. It must have been the adrenaline after acquiring some real estate on Col de Marie Blanc.

Just reminding us that it is still present, albeit more like the common flu. Guessing that 3/4 of the drop outs are Covid related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
