Break Vs Chasers In Thrilling Finale! | Tour De France 2022 Stage 9 Highlights

Drawing the first third of this year’s race to a close prior to the second rest day is the first real stage in the Alps, a 193km-long slog with 3,680m of climbing. Will it be a breakaway or the yellow jersey favourites who battle it out on the final climb - the Pas de Morgins - and the final fatiguing drag up to the finish in Châtel?

This is Bob. Bob knows when to attack from a small group and how to descend well. Bob is smart. Be like Bob

yeah this kind of fast decent ,a good disbrake really do a great job

Jungels was phenomenal on the descent. Absolutely deserved and perhaps keeps AG2R in the top echelon for another year.

That was something special. Cringing while watching it. That little voice in your head....Bob doesn't listen to that.

[@najibnajmudin512]

Great highlights. Would you mind showing point classification and KOM classification update also?

[@susanhill8332]

So wanted Pinot to get this one. But tremendous victory for Jungles.

[@ErickGonzalesF]

me too, I really wanted to Pinot to win but Jungles, respect

[@1101grayzer]

Did Pinot leave it too late to jump? Jungles was impressive but Pinot got to 24 seconds

[@HBosman]

Absolutely awesome 63km break by Jungels. Good chase by Pinot (obviously ignoring his power meter). But most surprising was Danny Martinez being dropped. Man I love mountain stages.

[@kenkaniff8428]

Yes I was a bit shocked to see D. Martinez getting dropped. Ineos is my team so that caught me by surprise but they had Castroviejo in the break and finished 2nd so that helped them in the team classification but we all know Ineos is not here for overall team classification tho. They want the overall WIN!! Pogi has a weakness tho and that is the HEAT so I'm hoping he has just ONE "off day" but I don't see that happening tbh. G needs 1' 17" and even if Pogi has an off day or something happens with him I dont see Vingegaard having any issues. Vingegaard was my pick for the OVERALL WIN this TDF. He has something to prove to the team and the world. It reminds me of the Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome situation back in 2013. Froome wanted to prove to everyone that he was just as capable or even MORE capable than Wiggo. I see the same thing happening with Roglic and Vingegaard. I feel like there's some animosity just beneath the surface with Roglic and Vingegaard. I feel like there's some tension within the team

[@HBosman]

@@kenkaniff8428 If Martinez can recover and Ineos has the guts, they can really hurt Pog even more than Jumbo.

[@kenkaniff8428]

@@HBosman ohhh Ineos has got "guts" but I'm not seeing Martinez recovering TBH. He looked pretty run down on stage 10. He got Dropped it looked like. Ineos is my favourite team so I'm ALL IN for Ineos but I'm also a practical person. I call it like I see it but I've said this many times . . . Ineos is the MOST tactical and patient team in the sport. They ABSOLUTELY have plans. Probably in the 3rd week I'm guessing. Stage 11 and 12 will be a GREAT thing to watch tactics in play. We will see some moves made but the BIG moves will be 3rd week I believe

Another great performance from FROOME - I hope he finishes the tour

[@kenkaniff8428]

He's a CHAMP and I don't think he'll abandon just because he's not doing well. I hope he finishes also. He needs that for his own mindset. The HIGH mountain stages are coming so it MAY be a bit too much for him. I'm not sure how he's feeling but I really hope he finishes.

[@pkwigglesworth]

@@pkwigglesworthAND FROOME WAS IN THE BREAK😉!! watching Froomey on Pidcocks wheel on the descent was brilliant. Pidcock is an incredible descender and Froome stuck with him. It was so awesome to see Froome in 3rd. He won Mt Ventoux in 2013 and 2015 on Bastile Day (like yesterday) so he was hoping to win but getting 3rd was awesome in my book. It's amazing he's still racing tbh!!

[@ericmichely5228]

One nice story for Luxemburgish Tour de France history.

[@kenkaniff8428]

Ineos have The best chance of attacking Pogi with Thomas, Yates and Pidcock. They are the most tactically superior team and they are just waiting for the HIGH mountain stages!! Pogi has a slight weakness and it's the HEAT so I'm hoping he has just ONE "off day". Even tho I'm an Ineos fan I picked Vingegaard to win this TDF but Pogi will need to make a mistake or have an issue. I dont wish bad on him but I just hope he has an off day and Ineos can make some moves. TRUST ME, they have a plan most likely in the final week. They need to stop giving Pogi 3 secs here and 6 secs there tho!!! Pogi has a SLIGHT weakness tho and that is the HEAT so I'm hoping he has just ONE "OFF DAY"

[@doublett4193]

Just like that... Bob is your uncle... No pun Intended.

[@kenkaniff8428]

😉🤘🇬🇧

[@a.campos891]

The other GC contenders have too much respect for Pogacar. Attack him, don't be chicken!

[@paulsolon6229]

No. He is too good w o cooperation. Jumbo and Ineos need to combine forces and act like one team. Or both teams will lose yellow once again. On a lumpy stage wva and Ganna and g and vingegaard need to go together.

[@dclark142002]

Stupid attacks will lose more time. You have to attack smartly...and in such a way that UAE alone has to respond.

[@HBosman]

There was actually a good discussion on that today. Ineos had numbers and could in theory tire the UAE domestiques out. Then attack one by one so Pog is forced to respond. When he catches one, the next guy attacks. For example Pidcock, then Yates, then Thomas (3 of them in top 7). The problem was UAE survived with 3 riders and Martinez cracked for Ineos.

[@Djuntas]

Cant beat a clearly doped monster. And Im gonna stand by that. Pogacar is gonna win the tour 5 times in a row, and when hes done hes not even 30. Kills all excitement for the sport. May he crash out.

[@frankburn6312]

They will. That wasn’t the stage for it. Let his team get tired 1st then go for the kill.

No not really. Pogi YES but not so much the TEAM

[@Keos1710]

Jumbo and Ineos don't have balls to attack Pogi in mid way. You can't beat Pogi by attacking in last 500 meters. Jumbo more concerned about Vout than GC.

[@Freddy-dm8hz]

To a point if all comes down to it they will do all for Jonas we saw that on stage 5

The coverage of the final sprint between Pogacar and Vingegaard was horrible. They spent way too much time on the first guys across the line, and then almost as an afterthought they switched to Pogacar sprinting to the line.

[@erminiopreziosi1967]

Yes dopacar is doped! Like LA.....

[@kenkaniff8428]

I don't accuse any rider of doping unless there is EVIDENCE and PROOF of them doping. The problem is with the doping protocol and the techniques the use. Pogi is BLOWING AWAY the accomplishments of the riders in the 90s when doping was rampant so it does make you think tho. As I said, I won't accuse unless there's PROOF but there's just NO WAY Pogi is SMASHING the output of Armstrong and others in the 90s if he's not doping. It's VERY suspect that he's SMASHING the output of the doping era of the 90s tho. I will wait for PROOF tho before I accuse
