Tour De France 2021 with spoilers

[cyberknight]

In case your Sunday night involves watching some sport, I'd get it done tonight

AHH you mean a game? It doesn't deserve the name "sport" 😁

Wow! Cav has equalled that mighty 46 year old record. Made up for the lad

Does anyone know how the UCI individual rankings work?
At the start of the season Cav was ranked no. 473, I know he wasnt on top form but that seems very low. How many pro cyclists are there?
Even now as of 5th July when he was in Green he is only ranked No.108.
I guess it will all be reworked again soon but it seems a bit low to me.

What an athelete.

Shows the footballers up for the ovrpaid primadonnas they are.

At least Cav didn’t pay people to lose to him like the Cannibal.
Question is if the ageing Cav can keep this form and manage to compete in next years TDF? Why not?

I thought Merckx comments were pretty churlish - entirely within character, but pretty churlish.

Hi Milzy,
I’m not questioning what you are saying but do you have a link for the best source for this? There is a debate about Merckx on a post by Betsy Andreu on Facebook and I’d like to add it if I can.
Many thanks

its a rolling 52 week ranking and winning a GT is worth more so winning the TDF overall is worth 1000 , a stage of the tdf is worth 120

Lumpy stage today with the GC men having a rest day along with the sprinters?
Got to be a day for the puncheur/breakaway guys who need a win?
Thomas de Gendt would be nice but he's complained that they're all too fast these days.

Gone with Kwiato...he was 40/1 and he deserves a stage 😁

Ineos have to try to get something out of this tour,.... including as team sky have they ever not even won a stage in the tour de france.
