Tour De France 2021 with spoilers

[yello]

Pierre Roland.... now there's a name we should have been hearing more of over the years. Now 'e could climb when 'e werra lad.

Alaphilippe is channeling his inner Voeckler.... and gurning!

There was a raid - they disturbed the riders for a bit. Everybody went back to bed. I don't know how significant having 50 police attending is, presumably a hotel takes a bit of looking through.

They've taken the riders training files apparently. Maybe they just want tips for the gendarme cycling club ?

DQS team work - the green jersey group off the back of the peloton is.... 5 DQS riders! Also Cav +2pts to Matthews over the sprint.

AlaPip is up the road in search of polka dots.

 

[Grant Fondo]

Some right ugly buildings up the Tourmalet, yuk!

 

[yello]

Nice to see the 'paper up the jumper' is still done.

This descent could be interesting; long, technical and quick.

 

[yello]

I reckon Alaphilippe is cooked.

I reckon Alaphilippe is cooked.

He'll make it up on the descent.

 

[Adam4868]

Allez David !

 

[yello]

He'll make it up on the descent.

...and then?

 

[yello]

I don't think Gaudu will do it, sadly

Pah...your all doom and gloom.

 

[yello]

Credit to Ineos, they're going for it.

 

[yello]

Catch...

Gaudu couldn't quite keep the fire going.. 10km. Good fight fella.
