Tour De France 2021 with spoilers

[Dogtrousers]

Today the rule of the 3km has been extended to 4.5km as a test for professional cycling. It means if an incident (crash or mechanical) happens within the last 4.5km, the victims will be credited the time of the group they belonged to at that point.

Just seen on recording that the other day Dan Lloyd said he had ‘foreskin suits’.
I know air resistance is important but that is taking aerodynamics to a whole new level?!

Marginal gains.

Marginal gains.

I didn't have my reading glasses on... I read that as 'Marital gains'!

Yellow and Green jerseys both OK.
Uran was involved but back on his bike (I think)
Yates back on his bike.
Soren Kragh Andersen and Tim de Clerq involved too

That could all be wrong except the bit about yellow and green

 

[Mo1959]

That could have been dreadful if anyone had hit one of the trees hard at that speed. Thankfully all mostly ok.

Breakaway's done but there's still 50k to go. Lots of sporadic attacking going on

 

[Beebo]

Just switched on. Missed the crash.
not at all surprising to hear Thomas was also involved!

 

[roadrash]

Yates abandoned

That was clearly some pile up. I didn't see it but I'm seeing the injuries.

Nobody appears to know why Cavendish changed bike. They don't think it was a puncture, possibly disc brakes... he obviously decided something wasn't right

Who are Ineos working for?

Protecting Carapaz?

Who are Ineos working for?

Quite a common question these days.

 

[yello]

Alaphillipe is distanced. Hope DQS are okay without him taking a turn in the lead out.

At least they have been giving it a go....what else they going to do sit in the bunch ?
