Tour De France 2021 with spoilers

[Dogtrousers]

Break up to 6 mins with 100km to go. Cav in the break and won the intermediate sprint.

I don't know what he's still doing there. Why hasn't he put his feet up now he has got the points? He'll just get murdered on the steep hills near the end (18% Signal d'Uchon). Maybe he's just trailing along in the slipstream admiring his own jersey?

He seems to be liked by so many riders that they are probably happy to have him. He’s no threat to most of them and most are no threat to him.

I don’t believe it! BBC News has mentioned the TdF again due to Cav’s win! That’s twice in one week cycling has featured on BBC News! Other than the spectator causing the crash, the only previous recent mention I recall is Tao Geoghehan Hart’s win of the Giro last year.

Could the BBC be taking more of an interest in cycling?

Nah…

He was mentioned on ITV's Granada Reports quite a bit last night, and the presenters said what a lovely man he was (having previously interviewed him on the programme).

They are currently 20 mins ahead of their estimated finish time. anyone hoping for a bit of a rest day will be sorry.

Vaaaaaamos Carapaz!

A very entertaining stage today and most unexpected.

 

[yello]

Unexpected indeed. Not very often you'll see the yellow jersey be allowed to get away like that. Maybe the thinking, on both sides of the equation, is that VdP will lose time in the mountains.

Roglic looks crocked though. Hope he's able to ride himself back to some kind of shape.

Slovenian cycling seems to be acing the, er, marginal gains.

 

[Dogtrousers]

That was bonkers. I thought the Tour was supposed to be good as over, might as well not watch any more.

 

[Cathryn]

I don’t know that part of France at all but it’s beautiful!!! Adding it to my list!

Should Jumbo go all in on WVA for GC?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Rog doesn't start tomorrow. The poor guy looked a wreck.

He ended up finishing all on his own in the middle of two groups. Very odd.

Vaaaaaamos Carapaz!

Good to see him giving it a go. Shame Movistar (who?) bolloxed it.
