'Dale Posted July 23, 2022 Author Posted July 23, 2022 This little battle amongst the mountain goats is gonna interesting: Currently fifth, Quintana has Louis Meintjes (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Materiaux) at 8 seconds behind and Aleksandr Vlasov (Bora-Hansgrohe) at 35 seconds, meaning the battle for fifth is one of the big outstanding issues this TT will resolve.
Frosty Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 Louis is bleeding time... so close to being out the top 10.
Frosty Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 10s between a PB for Louis and another 8th place... still a good turnaround given his barren years in between two Euro teams. mikkelz 1

Frosty Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 Louis looks, and sounds, disappointed. Week 1, and the breaks in the high mountains; the reason he feels that made today hard. DJuice, Vetplant and mazambaan 3
'Dale Posted July 23, 2022 Author Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Geez, to see how the GC podium can also race so well against the clock. Yoh, the ouens can push watts, including the 36 year old Welshman. Top Ganna must be carrying a gogga or something or just extraordinary fatigue. I expected a win today. There may not be a Champs Élysées next year, I read somewhere. This 2022 edition was just so dramatic and intense, yoh. Fastest average speed in the history of the event, I heard somewhere. "Winning this TDF as a team is special. Today was a dream scenario. Jonas is such a strong but especially such a good guy. I want to thank all my team for this special few weeks. It's unbelievable. I am just so tired after three weeks." - WVA, tearful and relieved as his bra, Jonas, and his team ‘boss’ the Tour de France. The incredible Pogačar walks away with the white jersey and after winning a few stages in the mountains, after two consecutive maillot jaune victories. Remarkable.

Yates will be sacrificed for Geraint. Bardet will blow up on the Hautacam. Quintana won't be able to follow The Cheese. I hope you didn’t put the kids college fund on this?

DJuice Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 Great ride by Louis! 8th place in this years tour trumps the previous 8 placings. Hopefully this tour gives him the confidence to go for stage win in a grand tour or perhaps one of the classics, still think Lombardia. Some pressure on admin to get us a lekker interview with Louis.

Wayne pudding Mol Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 Amazing tour and after the interviews I’ve seen with Pogacar and the way he raced I have even more admiration. So graceful and magnanimous in defeat, what a champ. He has just leant how to lose and the rest of the peleton is going to pay what a tour, missed Alaphilipe but that’s being greedy I’m sure on reflection Louis Meintjies will feel justifiably proud. mikkelz, Scary Rider, DJuice and 8 others 11
