Mntboy Posted July 8, 2021 Share Apparently Nils wants the win. Which would be lekker, such a good rider and as Rob Hatch mentioned would also save Bora's TdF a wee bit. Vetplant and TheoG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_ Posted July 8, 2021 Share I don't know why you (supersport) okes have the sound on. Just stick it on mute. These chaps have 5 hours to fill every second with commentary (read: noise), of course its going to be rubbish. Edit: not that I don't like or enjoy insights, I just can't listen to them for very long.

Mntboy Posted July 8, 2021 Share A wonderful and deserved win for Nils! He has been knocking on the door of getting a big win for a while now and finally he gets one! I'm sure he will add some more to his palmares. And a nice little boost to Bora's morale that took a big hit with Sagz having to abandon this morning.

dsw Posted July 8, 2021 Share Clearly this stage was very boring hence the many comments about the DstV commentators instead of the race itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIPSLICK Posted July 8, 2021 Share 15 min on a flat stage advantage to the peleton , is that an indication of how many matches have been burnt or just because no one would change GC OR BOTH Edited July 8, 2021 by DIPSLICK Vetplant and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon only Declerq's might match it but I wouldn't be surprised if GCN's Connor Dunne has a marginally taller seat post. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 8, 2021 Share Watching a roleur in full flight, amazing, a high wattage factory. A once-in-a -million opportunity for the domestique in Nils Pollit. Redemption somewhat after losing their leader, Sagan. Yoh, he looked strong. Still remember noticing him doing very well at Paris Roubaix riding for Katusha.

Has a very good record in the classics does Nils, got second in PR losing out to PhilGil and several top 5 finishes at RVV. Also the Gorilla spoke pretty glowingly about him as well and kinda helped him out with some advice today to go along with the training rides they do together. Just seems a popular winner, doesn't he. Also was nice to see Sweeny congratulate him just after he finished. Another guy to keep a eye on as he put in a good performance today.

Frosty Posted July 8, 2021 Share I had Politt in my 2019 fantasy team. Scored a few points in the early stages then faded away. I think back to his few points and the helmet I won. Mntboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsw Posted July 8, 2021 Share Today was a bit of a bad day for Quickstep as they decided not to chase probably in the hope that Alaphilipe could pull of a win. I guess it was always a long shot as he (AP) has already burned so many matches either attacking or working for Cav that he must be on his last legs. Tomorrow QS will most likely do whatever it takes to get Mark in the sprint. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
