Tour De France 2021 with spoilers

[GuyBoden]

With the Quick Step team being inspired, it will be interesting to see how Cav's team mate, Kasper Asgreen, gets on in the TT tomorrow, stage 5.

I was stuck in a staff meeting, with my laptop strategically positioned so I could refresh the BBC feed. It was SO hard to sit calmly and look professional when I found out he'd won!

Home now and off to watch the replay. SUCH wonderful news. I'm so happy for him.

Oh well done.
I was on a teams meeting with the project accountant and my exception handler. Totally forgot about them and yelled at the TV, on in the background - WFH perks . Danced about the room woohoo-ing then remembered the meeting.
Then got to answer lots of random questions about the TdF
Those two know my passion for cycling. It wasn’t a management meeting, thank heavens.

Our lass was nearly in tears watching the highlights, she has a bit of a soft spot for Cav.

Led out by the world champ no less. Doesn't get much better than that.

Could be led on to the Champs Elysee by the yellow jersey...

and absolutely key to victory was Alaphilippe's big effort to chase down the solo leader and put Cav and Morkov in a position to win, and boy did they deliver!

first chance to sprint and he wins it - dare we dream?

He's 12th to start today. How times change.

Cav ahead of Tony Martin, one suspects neither was trying that hard, especially Martin!

I knew Froome was just looking at this as a rest day but What’s the cut off time or percentage to keep everyone at the back honest?

So 25%. That’s a fairly big cushion.
