Tour De France 2021 with spoilers

[Adam4868]

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.

Not over yet 😁

Cav makes the cover of the Sport pullout in today's Times headlined "Mark of Greatness", full page article on page 5 (following 3 pages of Wimbledon) headlined "l'm dead. I went deep there, do deep" and a column on page 3 of the main paper headlined "Cavendish matches record of cycling great".

Eh ? GT won 3 in 2017/8 and Froome 7 in 2012/3/5/6.

I think you miss understood...
I was asking if sky/ineos have ever gone to the tour and not won a single stage.

Apologies tripped by the near double negative

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.

Call me crazy but could Froome give it a try?
He’s been almost invisible so far but was at the front of the peloton yesterday.
Maybe he could chance his arm to see what form he is in.

I'm sure he'd love to. I honestly don't think he's capable of it.

Geez - what are Cav’s odds?

 

[GuyBoden]

Just an easy leg warmer today, the mountains are tomorrow.

1500/1.....I know he's good but he ain't winning this stage.

Just thinking of Cav's lead-out men over the years.
Renshaw, Goss, Greipel, Chichi, Eisel...
Who else?

Blimey, I wasn't aware Greipel ever was, not intentionally anyway I had to resort to a bit of googling.

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

Just been reading what he said. I don't know anything about Merckx's character, despite having read a couple of books about him. He comes over as a right dickhead, which is disappointing.

Merckx is difficult enough to spell as it is, without autocorrect sticking its oar in.

Froome has done well to walk , anything else is a bonus
