Tour De France 2021 with spoilers

[roadrash]

His self belief must be massive at the moment , i bet he has his lead out train intact tomorrow.

Pogacar is a beast

Yeah but he hardly sweats breathes, grimaces & doesn’t go red. Casually sips his pop after winning. His power figures are super human, can you imagine what he could do if he doped?

Pogi....one of the best climbers in the world beats Kung in a TT,on stage 5 ! Gonna take something special to beat him 😁

It will take a good team to beat him, there are 2 or 3 that can do that and/or one bad day at the office for him, it can happen.

Cav's got no chance of winning tomorrow's sprint stage, he's just too old.

Fully agree he's got no chance tomorrow, yesterday was a fluke

Yea anything can happen as we know,but it's gonna take more than a team.He can defend this if he chooses,which I'm not sure he will.I think he'll attack whenever he can.
Although I do hope it's not over yet 😁

Pog has got this all sewn up. His main rivals are slipping down, battered & bruised, deflated & thinking about other things. Probably about getting home to their kids. The organisers along with that nutty women have ruined this years tour I’m afraid. We’ve had had drama & entertainment but a lot of it I don’t want to see.

all i wanted to get across was the fact that she had been found and arrested, not interested in the rest or who doesnt like the fact that it was from the mail nor do i care if anyone doesnt agree with it .

Yeah but if the "newspaper" linked can't even get the headline right, why should anyone believe anything else in their report? They are pretty much worthless as proof of anything beyond "it was in the Mail"! The link posted later was much more convincing.

Boardman said that Rog's un-aerodynamic bandages would cost him 30 sec. He seemed serious.

Now I know areodyamics are important to racers but I don't have any intuitive feel for how important at these speeds. That's about a 1.5% reduction. Seems a lot.

I guess it must be right after all he's Chris Boardman so he should know. Or maybe his joke delivery was a bit too deadpan.

What hope do I have in my jacket with hood acting as a wind break (brake)

Are you saying he's not?

 

[Eziemnaik]

I think, given circumstances Roglic rode very good TT. All it takes for Ineos or Jumbo is to isolate Pog and a single missed refueling or puncture will make it exciting. OTH last year he rode solo and didn't come worse for it.

Were we not all saying exactly the same thing with only 2 stages remaining last year?

The organisers .....have ruined this years tour I’m afraid.

The riders make the race.

has the woman been arrested?,,,, yes she has

that was the point

I really couldn’t care less who doesn’t like the mail or who thinks the headline is wrong
Get a life .. go find something else to complain about.

 

[Shadow]

Pog has got this all sewn up.

Yes, you may be right. And yet I still want to see how it plays out.
And there is so much more to watch. Will Cav win another stage? Can he win the green jumper? Who will take the KOM? It won’t be Schelling but it will be fun to watch him defend it. Who will win stage 11? Will we see another young upstart be a demon descender? Can Pog win the next TT? Or will one of the other TT specialists want to prove yesterday was an upset. Which stage will be won by the break? Van Moer will want another go!
So much, much more to see.

Edited to correct factual error.

Some friends i have spoken to seem to think the tour is over , I dont think they have been watching the same tour i have if thats their thoughts, much more to come yet, the fat lady isnt singing yet , in fact she hasnt even cleared her throat.
