Tour De France 2021 with spoilers

[roadrash]

At least it isnt stuck under the finish line gantry eh.... like some other team bus

 

[Ridgeway]

Probably the weight of Cav's balls caused this

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!

Yes, there is plenty to watch/follow outside of Pog-vs-TheWorld :-)

But I don't think the GC race is over: Pog may be the clear strongest rider, but there are two big teams hunting him down who may yet capitalise on situations later. As Pete Kennyuck commented, the other podium contenders might even gang up on him, if they decide 2nd/3rd are of little interest.

Symbolic day today, not just for Cavendish but for me too. I was there to witness his first TdF win, in 2008. I'd cycled up from my then new home to the finish in Chateauroux. It was all so perfect, part of why I'd moved to France. I won't be cycling up today but I will be watching the finish on TV, and hoping to see him win again. It'd be his third win there, so he's probably more fond of the place than I am!

And Nairo is still there. Like a coiled spring. Waiting ... waiting ...

if only he would release the spring more often, I love to see him attack but of late it always seems to be short lived

I've got money and confidence in Carapaz to win this....25/1 so he better pull his socks up.
Not too high 😁

 

[Grant Fondo]

I'm getting far too distracted by the pretty Eurosport presenter . Cycling 1 - 0 Football.

Don't tell me he's in your fantasy team!!!!!!

Some of the GC riders might keep some in the tank, a mere 155 mile ride tomorrow

I hope Cav gets this one, 20 to go!

I hope Cav gets this one, 20 to go!

not a chance today, his form is gone and he'll never win again (see rule on post 216 from Dogtrousers)

 

[tribanjules]

Yup he’s history

 

[fossyant]

[roadrash]
