THEMOVE: 2023 Tour de France Stage 9



Lance, JB, and George break down Mike Woods’ incredible victory atop the historic Puy de Dôme climb, which hadn’t been used since the 1988 edition and delivered a great spectacle in its long-awaited return. They go through how the veteran Canadian managed the tricky dynamics of the early breakaway to reel in a devastated Matteo Jorgenson just before the finish line, before discussing the GC battle that played out on the slopes below. Mainly, how Tadej Pogačar is looking better and better as the race goes on and how his small time gains over Jonas Vingegaard will start to become fatal to Jumbo-Visma’s quest to win the overall if they continue through the second and third weeks of the race.

They wrap up the show by going through a difficult stage 10 that awaits the riders following Monday’s rest day.

  1. Pogačha definitely put the hurt on Jonas again. I don't think he wants the yellow jersey yet. It makes sense as he can recover immediately after each stage with all the obligations the yellow demands. Smart strategy 👌

  2. Theyshould have trucked a bunch of people up there to the finish, it looked very strange, like an amatuer race in out in the sticks. Just one person opinion.

  3. It would be nice if George could learn to pronounce Tadej Pogačar's name. It is not that hard. Take 5 minutes, call Johan and ask him how to pronounce it.

  4. I have no idea what Lance is talking about saying bikes in Merckx's day were 30 lbs. They were heavier than today but definitely still light.

  5. Talk about safety, this is probably the safest ascent the Tour can use.
    Hardly any spectators along the way and not even the slightest hint of acts of craziness.
    Taking a dig at Lance, I am sure that on this one he would probably get his way when it comes to ditching the helmets on mountaintop finishes.
    Disclaimer: I fully agree with Lance on ditching helmets on mountaintop finishes.

  6. I read Mark Harmon was voted 'Sexiest Man Alive' in 1986… the fact that George Hincapie hasn't had a nomination yet is shameful…

  7. Lance, there is a super fun bike path that goes around the headwaters. Let me know if you want me to show you around eh?

  8. @Lance – I'll back you on the Roka's I've bought 5 pair and heard about them several years ago here on the MOVE. I bought my son those aviators with Ti frames and blue ice lenses and he looks dope in them.

  9. There's a nice easy bike trail on the old railroad grade in Brainerd, Minnesota. The Brainerd area also has several championship golf courses. Lance would love it if he stayed around for awhile.

  10. I remember being on a plane with George and going to ask for an autograph, which he did willingly and with a smile. The only 'paper' I had was the book I was reading on the plane… Pantani's biography. George looked at it and said; "Oh that's out" and then proceeded to quite me about what it contained… it was a somewhat unreal experience.

  11. If teams are impoving things for the riders sleep, can we assume that no one is having to wash out their kit in the hotel sink?

  12. O2 greatly improves sleeping at altitude coming from the lowlands of Dallas (that place near Plano). its amazing how much it helps with altitude sickness

  13. None of this convenient North American talk, this was a Canadian win 🙂 . Interesting, I have never heard a Canadian claim a united states win. Well done Mike, awesome!

  14. Riding up Maroon bells a couple years back I was about half way up and Lance was on the front of a group and gave me a nod and a hand wave on his way by. So George it happens nice and polite Lance. Lol

  15. George is a man of the people and us fans appreciate his interaction with the fans.
