>>156866755Tour is like the only race that maybe deserves a thread for each stage
>>156866675Mads needs to call on this skills of his old mentor if he wants any chance of winning today
I believe in FADS
will they even let Mads go in the break. I can see some hard seething in the first 20km
Do you expect any attacks in the top 10? The finish doesn't seem hard enough to try anything, especially since harder stages are still to come. I expect the whole GC front group sticking together from start to finish.
>>156867567nah GC grupetto day
>>156867584>>156867567UAE will keep a high pace just so some breakaway jobber doesn't win.
>>156867625why would they waste their energy> I can see sprinter teams chasing Mads so he doesn't get a free 25 points but other than that it should be break goes and get a huge gap
>>156867649They hate fun and will decimate all just to cement Pogi dominance
>>156867584Yeah, think so too. Well, Ballon d'Alsace should still be eye candy. That's the kind of mountain I wish I had around close for riding. Hard, but not too hard, and easily accessibe.
>>156867649Have you not seen them chase down breaks on meaningless stages over the years?
>>156867701I have done it. It is very comfy, feels easier than you would think it should be. even my mate who is not very fit could get up it. Nice monument at the top
>>156867780Based, I've always been too lazy to do excursions that would require an overnight stay, just to do a bike ride there. Alone, that feels like overkill. On the other hand I don't really have someone to ride with. I probably could simply ask for someone in forums or something, but I'm not social enough to ride with strangers.>feels easier than you would think it should beI suppose that's because the gradient is really consistent, no steep rampas. Very good to diesel your way up, that makes it doable even for less fit / heavier riders.
>>156867567this feels like a remco daythe climb is not too steep and he has been a demon on descents
lars craps? seriously?
>>156868001>this feels like a remco day
>>156867567Pidkek (10th) will attack, that's a given
>>156867649UAE will chase LIDL in the breakaway because they want to win team classification lol
that rain for todays stage i see?
>205kmthe weak should fear the strong today
Pinot!
>>156868586Ominous.
I am sitting inside and my lungs are literally getting RAPED by canada right now. I woke up in the middle of the night coughing and weezing All my running gains.... gone...
>>156868816
>>156868816those faggot leafs must go massively carbon negative to pay back the pollution
>>156868816Have you considered keeping your windows closed?
>UAE already policing the bunch
uae really trying to close down breakaways again alreadygreedy fuckers
People wouldn't mind UAE winning things if they didn't fucking ruin every other stage as well for no fucking reason
fuck off colgate nigger
>>156869032I live in an older building(rare for the USA i know) and the windows arent sealed perfectly
>>156868846If Trump somehow tricked Canada into burning itself to the ground he's more based than I ever knew.
riding for team classification as UAE
>gc leader wants to race instead of sit back and defendhow is that a bad thing?
>>156869106Put wet towels
terrible break
>>156869106I live next to farmland in an old house. When the farmer comes poisoning everyone with pesticides and shit, I put tape on the vents
>has a hot air balloon>doesn't blow it up
>>156869174he can make his statement this sunday give something to the plebs let the viewer enjoy the race
>>156869309Probably not allowed with all the helis in the air
Pidders in the big group
Tour without radios please
terrible from Trek not having anyone therenow they gotta chase like a bunch of muppets
lame jappe in the big breakMads caught napping
>>156866675Stage profile looks weird. Idk what to expect.
break is too big with too many wheelsuckers
>>156869604plenty of teams with helpers pulling though, more than in the peloton
>>156869604Goes both ways a lot of teams in the peloton dont want to chase them
Why would this stage not end on top of the mountain?
>>156869535yepeven Mads is closing now lol
it's the robbery
CAM ON LIL TREKSCARE SOME FOOKIN STAGE
lets point and laugh at lidl
Tour dood, wat nou?
>>156869707I would, but my sprinter Bini is in an even worse spot. Taking green from Pedersen was always going to be hard, but now he's going to lose his 2nd place as well. Strange that NSN is not pulling.
>le intermediate sprint mancan't believe how badly they fucked this up
>>156869740Bini said yesterday that he would rather win a stage than green
>>156869647To make it less predictable (pogwinslol)
>liddle KWAB
>>156869752For every other stage race I would say winning a stage is > green. But for the TDF you're in the history books forever with green while plenty of riders got stage wins.I don't know how many stages zabel won, I just remember his as the dude in green
>>156869647because Belfort paid a lot of money to finish there
I've seen enough, Alah wins
now bini is sneaking awayliterally what is Mads and Lidl doing
>>156869707for all that genuis stuff yesterday today they’re spent lol
Mads burned alot of matches today
Jegat is gonna get into top 10 today, for 3 frogs in the top 10! Might be the best tour in ages for the good guys
>>156869878All of Lidl set everything on fire yesterday and now today
>>156869878should be fine to make it once there’s enough time
57 guys in the break.2 guys of my team, including the black token who will drop after the sprint.
>>156869953I mean once the tête has like 4-5 min they will ride slower
Mcnulty fucking wins it right?
>>156869979Piddie and TotalEnergy will floor it for the meme top 10 places
>>156869979phrasing
>>156868816I hate this. I used to look forward to summer now every year I'm scared of all the smoke and 40c days I know are coming. This never used to happen in the 90s and 00s. Even I don't remember it in the 10s.
One unusual stage design and everyone in shambles
>>156869979Its about the sprint point thats in 30km though and they are not going to catch them before that
>>156869752>Bini said yesterday that he would rather win a stage than greenHow many stages left can he actually win?
>>156870030the sprint is in 60km
That's a big guy
>>156870069Imagine the draft riding behind him
>>156869978>my teamyou're israeli?
Is Decathlon the only team that doesn't have anyone in the break?
MADSbros this can't be happening
>>156870184I didn’t accounted for Pidcock and his teammates full sending it kek
>>156870195Maybe there is still hope the sprint is 50 km away
>>156866779chute
>>156866675jokes aside, groves would have probably won a meme stage, jappe can't even do that
Stage 13 already? I don't remember a single stage of this Tour. Not one single moment sticks out to me This one has been absolutely forgettable
>>156870352The TTT at the start was pretty cool, but that's about all I can really remember
wtf is this computer angle
>>156870389+5 watts btw
>has to wear dumb mask>has to wear dumb pois kit that not even his>has to wear bigma balls helmettruly a humiliation ritual
>>156870262they looked almost there but now it’s increasing again
I hope Mads gets back to the main group just as they reach the sprint and he scores no points. He deserves nothing
Yes, the answer is yes
>>156870460>Has to have Sex with Trine
>>156870556i think that ice chink sucks dick like a champ dont ask me why
Why do people hate Mads and Lidl?
D I D IIDI
chute
Then Anglo hero is only 5 minutes from virtual podium!
>>156870573I do most of my shopping in Lidl. Except for bread, you make some vile ryebread, Hans..
>>156870619Will er Sex?
I want a 5 hour stream from Bardets point of view.
Pogacar always gives the worst interviews
>>156870631Hey, don't blame supermarket bread on us.That's always shit.>>156870660ja
>>156870631You don't wanna know what they put in those breads in supermarkets. Bake them yourself or go to an actual village baker.
Ah yes, #9 in GC helping UAE.Fuck this gay sport
>>156870786game is game
>>156870786How are they helping UAE? The only UAE participation in this stage are the two riders in the breakaway.
>>156870713>>156870731Oh trust me I go to the bakers after tempting fate in Lidl once
>>156870810They shouldn't be pulling at all. Defending 9th in GC is pathetic. Let UAE do all of the work. Teams need to get it through their thick skulls that everyone needs to attack UAE relentlessly. Fuck that oil team
>>156870849I just looked at pictures of Danish rye bread.Very nice, I must say.
>>156870886Most Danes tend to piss, shit, and cum over ryebread. It's alright but they need to settle down a bit.
I want a real break away, not this shit
Jappe 1.Mads 2.Bini 3.
>breakaway2
Jappe finally redeemed
Girmay has lost all his speed during this Tour
Why are americans like this...
>>156870573More of an Aldi guy myself
Pottier monument
Well Gregiore lets see you win this
>>156870994Aldi is better than Lidl but Mercadona is way better than both and the same prices
they even found a pic to illustrate the cuckolding, kek
>>156870699He's an ESL but he's also kind of a douchebag. Attention payers know his nice guy thing is an act
>>156870469kek
>>156871022
>>156870866Oil bros working together, they cant be bombed soon enough
>>156871055Women are evil
UAE should have gone for the stage
>>156871106They are taking it with McNuggies
>bora sticker guy getting fired
One job
>>156871104I don't count 1000 swamps, I feel cheated
>>156871104Imagine the mosquitos
Do you guys think Bardet is laughing at all the fatties getting dropped?
>>156871224Saar, I...
Pidcock takes GC today
>>156871285>not /sp/cyc/It's over, guys
When will Jonas attack?
Why is UAE going to the front? They can't be worried about Pidcuck than the other teams. This year's tactics by most teams are baffling to me.
Kool wins
>Mort aux schmidtsnever not funny
>>156871459Stage 22
Can Pidcock even do 6 W/kg for 23 minutes?
>>156871460You dont need tactics at all when you are doped to the eyeballs
Ben Unhealy
>>156871460>McNulty say he cant winPogi about to climb with 9 w/kg to win the stage
What is RB even doing? Are they sleeping?
>>156871521That's Thomas "Vuelta podium finisher" Pidcvck for you, mister
>>156871521Take the free 5 min and save up for tomorrow desu
>>156871476top 10

>Lotte Kopecká-Merckcxzkmight as well retire
PLAPP
plapperoo
Why are the Australians attacking their overlord?
>>156871631So they are sending people into the break but also trying to reel them in while teams placed ahead of Burrito do nothing? As I said, I'm frequently confused this year.
cam on Kev
>>156871683Idk but there is an awful concentration of anglos in this front group
ATTAQUE THERMONUCLEAIRE DE PIDCOQ
>>156871687I dont know what you are seeing but I havent seen UAE pull all day but its pretty logical that you dont let the guy with 10min in GC have a 10 min gap
weak
Pidders is going to full send it on the downhill
>>156871687They have two runners in the break for the stage win and also the Team classification. But in the break there is also Pidcoc, a potential GC runner.
what was that shit pidkek was pulling
“attack”
allez kev
Thomas Pidcock Tour De France Podium champion
>Lidl keeps running out of helpers on mountain stages.>Spends entire team to chase PidcockAre they stupid?

This is a cool descent
does anybody ever put up fake signs so all the cyclists are directed towards an unfinished bridge or something?
>>156871915What the fuck is that background
>>156871948There were budget cuts in Saudi Arabia. Funds have been redirected to The Line
>NEW CLIMBING RECORD Ballon d'Alsace - 9 km@6,9%: 21 min 40 sec
>>156871940It won't work. They blindly follow the guy in front and the guy in front blindly follows the cars in front.
>>156871969This will be the TT helm in 5 years
>>156871940kek have somebody ever pulled this trick also?
>>156871978There have been plenty of times where the moto took a wrong turn and riders followed
>>156871976yes, but how quick was the peloton?
>>156871940There's a whole promo team riding infront, you don't see it on camera, but there are atleast 20 cars in front
>UAE in charge of deciding who should respond
Jayco masterclass today
>>156872060Timmeke Wellens bows to the mighty PLAPP
haha he has cock in his name lol
>>156872019Pogi literally needs to issue team orders from the peloton for them to have a chance
Really don't get why they didn't immediately have McNulty follow Schmid, Wellens is the better finisher so let the American do the gruntworkEither they're dumb at communicating/planning, or McNulty was just too gassed I guess
Piddropped
>>156871978>>156872010did they start doing that after everybody went off an unfinished bridge one time?>>156871993this is fucking genius, forget my idea
A lot of time to Paris to get that 2d place back no reason to panic
>pidkek combatif
it's over
>>156871016Only for their store brand, Aldi is usually cheaper for normal brands. Mercadona usually had the edge thanks to having butcher's and fish markets, but they've closed most of those. I also prefer Aldi because they usually bring things from other countries, that's cool.
>Pidcock combatifheh... he gave his best... heh
>>156872173tomorrow it will get rearranged
>>156872010Plus, police, and there's also police and volunteers securing various points of the road.

(Al)Bert
Why is the Prince of Monaco there??
So now that the dust has settled, what is more embarrassing: England last winning the world cup 1966 or the last French cyclist winning the tour in 1985?
>>156872760>he should make this his last tdfthats not a threat retard
>>156872817England, easily England.
>>156872817That is 15 World Cups, but 40 Tour de Frances, going by the number of missed chances, France comes out worse. On the other hand, I think British people care more about football, than French do about cycling.
>>156872817The first one is a sport for people who don't have an identity and tie it to some rich kids taking naps on the field and performing drama shows. The 2nd one is hardmen pushing their bodies to the edge of what's human possible.You do the math
>>156872823Exactly, Hinault's results at Tour must be beaten by Pogacar before he stops racing it: 5 wins, 28 stage wins, 79 Yellow jerseys.
>>156872817Given the level it's more embarrassing that no Italian has won the Giro since nibbles in 2016
>>156872760No better to ruin it and win, win, win

>>156873636Joao...

>>156873871No its great. The smol guys can draft Mads et. al. to the sprint, giving us a good fresh break for the climbs.

yes?

However, it was never something Vingegaard and Visma worried about:>- I can understand that there are other teams that are starting to lead. After all, we are nearing the end of a Grand Tour, so in that way I can actually understand it.>- It never became a problem for us, so that's why we didn't lead. We just wanted to get through safely without using too much effort.THE MASK IS OFF. IT'S GO TIME. WEEK 3 JONAS ACTIVATED
>>156874676>climb at 3500 m>rest of the stage is a comfy puncher profile at 3300 mIsn't it just plain dangerous? Like life-threatening dangerous ?
is this true? where do I get some?
>>156875425Nah you can hike in the alps at that level and there are ski resorts higher than that. You might need to breathe a bit more.
>>156875436They invented it like a few months ago you cant buy it yet only one or two teams supposedly have it atm
>>156873826Tom will be lucky to see a top 10 in paris. Great riding from him though this tour.
>>156875539Sure I can, but at slow pace, certainly not going full cardio contest with other guys.Also alpine skiing is easy but you won't find any cross country skier at that altitude, Anterselva is considered the hardest stage of biathlon at 1500 m or so.
