Highlights from stage 16 of the Tour de France 2023. The only time trial of the race come after the second rest day. It’s short at 22.4km, but the route from Passy to Combloux is far from flat, and includes the savage Côte de Domancy (2.5km at 9.4%) towards the back end of the stage.

Congratulations on winning Jonas Binggego Stage 16. I have a happy day after hearing the news of Jonas' victory. It's Jonas' overwhelming power
Just a thought but perhaps Pogacar was saving himself a little bit for the final 2 upcoming mountain stages?
That’s normal.
Doped as f*ck. 😢 Lance is fascinated..
Viggarde 🚴🏻♂️👎🏻🚴🏻♂️👎🏻🚴🏻♂️👎🏻💉💉💉💉💉
calculated moves is very evident as the remaining stages fast approaching. The most exciting and thrilling war by the gc leader and Pogacar.
Is Jonas puking water there after the finish?
Hats off to GCN for making actual highlight videos with new narration, instead of just slapping a bunch of video clips together with the live commentary!
Remembering Miguel Indurain the extra terrestrial.. 🦾
ITT without F Ganna
Jonas is a more compact rider, looked more aero and in the right gear, his lines and speed in descent were faster. Pog slowed to change bikes and change took 15 to 20 seconds let alone needing to get back up to speed and adjust position, ditching visor and higher position lost him time. Pog looked tired going up the last sector. Jonas looked fresh. Pog probably couldn't spend as much time on TT bike due to injury and it probably lost him time today. In his last ITT Jonas showed he had worked on his position and power and won. Pog had been racing classics and then was injured, Jonas clearly focused on Le Tour and build up races. Jonas had a plan and looked up for it. Pog and team likely dismissed this ITT and were looking ahead to tomorrow.
Sometimes hard work and other factors are at play
Macronians maskface remind us who is the beginning of all evil.
One would think that it’s noteworthy to mention/show that Vingegaard didn’t do a bike change.
Attenzione… il ciclismo è pieno di sorprese… una crisi e sei fuori
Am I the only one who can see that something is completely wrong. Vingegaard's time trial can only be done if you are doped. Sorry to say.
How the hell is this possible.. over 1 min and half better. I really hope he s not cheating…🧐
Non ricordavo che il bimbo di mamma ho perso l'aereo fosse così forte
What a demolition!!! Beating Pogacar at his own game. It's Vingegaard's Tour de France now.
Drugs.
Very good pronunciation of Vingegaard. Well done!
king jonas
i lost my words….
Come on, even you have to admit there's something fishy going on out there !
Ahhh WVA😅
I don't understand their bike change strategy. Why doesn't a team member wait for the rider at a place they had previously agreed on instead of the rider getting off his bike waiting for the guy getting out of the car, grabbing the second bike off the car roof and so on? All of that takes time…
Jonas' performance makes me very suspicious. He put 3 minutes into WVA over a 22km TT, yes there was climbing but this was not a glorified hill climb where a 50kg mountain goat has a huge advantage. This TT also had sections where being heavier and having outright power, not just power to weight would come in to play yet despite that he put nearly 3 minutes into WVA who is one of if not the best TT rider in the world. With this being only a 22km TT the size of the margins are somewhat surprised, if extrapolated to a more tradition lengh we're talking FIVE minutes over WVA and 3 over Pogacar. WVA made a freudian slip saying he was the best of the normal riders, his face said it all. It was an unbelievable performance and I agree, it was unbelievable.
I do hope Jonas hasn't gone too deep there ahead of Stage 17… UAE are going to go hard today I think…
For anyone who thinks this is easy, pause the video at 3:33 and look close.
one word…….. Incredible !
Vingegaard said it before that Jumbo have a plan to take more time to Pogi, this is the confirmation.
Let's hope we won't find out in the next years he was doped like lance Armstrong.
i heard tadej slept bad this night so maybe an explanation why jonas was so much faster.
congret.
Vinneguard how did he pull that performance in the time trial something dosent add up couldnt gain that time naturally its impossible
When you beat top cyclists by that much YOU ARE DRUGGING!!!! No ifs, and, or buts. We will find this out in the next couple years.
No bike change, and win.
So a bloke called Vinegar Joe who looks like a duck and whom nobody had even heard of until a couple of years ago beats some of the best pro cyclists in the world by an absolutely ridiculous margin. Of course there's no chance that he was on the special sauce because that could never happen, honest. This outrageous result has killed the Tour de France for me.
37 lbs of masking agents found in backpacks. Nearly all teams are guilty of doping yet again. The tour is a fraud!
The sport is broken
Kinda wish I didn't think this way, but that performance was a bit surprising, to say the least.
Before yesterday Jonas had never won a major time trial as a pro.. And then yesterday against all the best TTiers in the world.. He wins by a minute and 38 seconds.. It is blatantly obvious he was on some juice yesterday!!!
I look forward to the day Jonas gets stripped of his yellow jersey for being on EPO.. It is obvious he was cheating yesterday.. He never won a major TT in his career.. Then winning the biggest TT in the world against all the best TTiers in the world by a minute and 38 seconds.. He is a cheater!
This is gonna sound very cynical, but JV has NEVER shown anything like this in a TT. To make up 1:38 in less than 23 kilometers?! WTF?! That's VERY sus. Based on cycling's notorious doping history, I just have to be somewhat skeptical. He and TP were almost even in last year's TT, but this much better all of a sudden?!
Dopato
3 minutes faster than Wout? The Belgium TT champ? Something fishy… You don't get that much better with a massage and a Aero helmet.
This doesn't smell good,smells like Armstrong perfume, otherwise i don't know,from never winning tt to do something like this??!!!hats off to him or is doctor
Bro how can he put 3 min on Wout. That's Illegal
How did Vingegaard destroy Wout's time by almost 3 mins????
Thanks to his heavenly Jumbo juice, Jonas would win this TT even on a kid's bike…
Who is that turk with the flag at every finishing line?
strongest in TdF this year. Jonas totally pulverized the opponents today. So far this has been the best TdF I have seen in MANY years, Pogacar has really done the best he could
