FootballingCyclist Posted July 6, 2021 Share Anyone else notice Greipel there and there abouts, Nice to see him still in the race, I'm sure he's a good couple kilos heavier than some of the sprinters who missed the cut.

I think Cav never even thought he would be this close to the record at the start of Le Tour. I reckon he is more driven now to get to Paris than ever before even in his prime, and his team will make sure he gets over the line tomorrow within the time limit I'm sure.

Zatopek Posted July 7, 2021 Share 6 hours ago, SwissVan said: Never been a huge Cav fan have i.... but I'll quite happily eat my words this year. I hope he stays in it until the final sprint on the Champs Elysees Exactly the same feeling here. Really hope he make Paris and get the record. At the same time (and I know Cav have somewhat more expertise in the sprinting domain than me), but one bit of advice - dont miss out on the record - only because you crossed the line with your hands in the air (like you did twice now in a week) while someone with a bike-throw takes the win and record away from you. Please, oh please, celebrate after you actually had already won. Only because I want you to have the record. TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrie.kuilder Posted July 7, 2021 Share https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/van-der-poels-early-tour-de-france-exit-not-good-for-cycling-says-eddy-merckx/ Kind of disappointed in MVDP, he is a very talented cyclist, but also found it kind of disrespectful to start a very prestigious and historic tour, only to abandon it after a certain goal was achieved. Have to agree with EM in the article. LuckyLuke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne pudding Mol Posted July 7, 2021 Share 10 hours ago, Mountain Bru said: He's definitely doing flippen well, and is on the best form he's been in for years, but I feel like we've been robbed of seeing him stack up against the likes of Ewan and S Bennet, even Merlier. I think Ewan might have been quicker than him if he didn't crash, and even Merlier was looking quicker than him until he decided to ride as a lead out man for Phillipson. Agree that the racing would have been more exciting with other sprinters but Cav can only beat who’s there and after years of illness and crashes perhaps he’s owed some fortune getting over today is going to be tough especially if the guys at the front continue dropping watt bombs Mountain Bru, Vetplant and Dirt Tracker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree with EM in the article. It was easier for Eddy to finish as he used special gel which I find disrespectful - such an icon while others are pariahs? I do agree that if you start you should try finish but he’s not the first anf he was honest about it from the outset DieselnDust, Vetplant, Underachiever and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From ASO point perhaps a bit of leniency for the great comeback story to be told. Breaking the record on the final day… Never liked EM, even more after his comments.

'Dale Posted July 7, 2021 Share At nearly 200 kms and more than 4 500 meters ascent, this’ll be a very dramatic day. The GC challenge promises to be very interesting as the mighty Ineos will aim to seize back some control as UAE’s Pogačar is exceptional against the clock with the final time trial looming in the 3rd week. I’m keeping an eye on Vingegaard as a new prospect for GC for the team on Bianchis. Can the maillot vert make it within the time limit? The Wolfpack will do their best with sticky bottles. ????

Old man Pat might be pleased, but his bank Manager won't be - according to GH on The Move Cav is riding for free, but has some pretty big win bonus clauses in the contract TheoG and Vetplant 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
