Maniax Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 Just now, Frosty said: He might not be able to stay with Jonas on the Hautecam if Pog attacks. He's up front, if needed; not the first time a rider has done this. they generally sit in the break then and save their energy. Van Aard is driving on the front. But its Van Aard. absolute monster.
MongooseMan Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) So if WvA wins, and Pinot & Jonas finish outside the top 3, then by my maths he wins the green & the polkadot jersey. Not sure if that has ever been done before. Edit: Of course, Eddie did it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_Tour_de_France Edited July 21, 2022 by MongooseMan Vetplant 1
'Dale Posted July 21, 2022 Author Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Beautiful racing, hey. The dominance of the white and yellow jersey above the rest of the GC contenders, remarkable. Yes, they are protected and given maximum team cover, and, yet, the athleticism. It is week 3, yoh. Sportmanship in professional sport has been given an impressive boost. Jonas’s act of generosity to the prize fighter, Pogačar, will be remembered for a long time. Wow!

Kenosi Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Not sure if I heard this properly, but they are speculating that Pog might not attack at Hautecam (against DS's preference) We'll know in 16km'stime Edited July 21, 2022 by Kenosi
DJuice Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 Great ride by Louis, no matter the final col or the TT. He took the race head on to improve is placing. Kudo`s, King Louis V2! Vetplant, Nibali, Comrade J and 2 others 5

Kenosi Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 Martinez has the same look of determination when he towed Bernal at last years Giro
Frosty Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 Here's why WvA was in the front break... pacing JV Vetplant, Long Wheel Base and mazambaan 3
'Dale Posted July 21, 2022 Author Posted July 21, 2022 Haven’t seen the maillot vert tow the maillot jaune this deep into week 3 in a Pyrenees high mountain stage ever. Ma se kinners! Pogačar cracks. Vetplant, babse, Long Wheel Base and 2 others 5
Vetplant Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) WHAT. A. STAGE! Show of force by Jumbo Visma and Jonas Vingegaard. Pogi pushing them with everything he has. Louis giving much more than we can ask for. This TDF has been one for the ages! Edited July 21, 2022 by Vetplant BikeisLife, TheoG, mazambaan and 1 other 4
TheoG Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 Wout in 3rd on a proper mountain stage, awesome !!! Vetplant and justinafrika 2
