Mountain Bru Posted July 11, 2021 Share I'm so over hearing about ISN's zipless jersey. Bouhanni abandons.... Cav is gonna be sprinting against Froome in Paris at this rate. Scary Rider, DIPSLICK, Carmichael and 4 others 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cav is gonna be sprinting against Froome in Paris at this rate. Cav breaking the record is probably on the cards. Personally would like to see a break away with strong men in like WVA succeed on the final day. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetplant Posted July 11, 2021 Share Happy to see WvA going for that KoM sprint. He has a decent chance of getting in on that Polka Dot challenge Chris_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 2 days the 2nd placed person changes I think that Martin might actually be happy if that's the case as his main aim coming into the TdF was stage wins and not GC. He'd rather be shipping time than gaining, which kinda makes JV's tactics today a bit weird. The Eurosport GCN crew seem to be under the impression that they don't think Vingegaard is a good GC contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 11, 2021 Share The Polka Dot jerseys seems like the only one left as competitive - should make for some good viewing if these top 3 go for it between here and Paris. Imagine the 1 point available on the Champs-Élysées is what separates 1st and 2nd. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the 1 point available on the Champs-Élysées is what separates 1st and 2nd. 72 points is easily overhauled in the green if Cav burns too many matches getting through to Friday. Matthews climbs well and can get close over the next few days the same way Sagan did in the past. It's not over at all. Polka dots is heating up. If WvA can stay in the fight Wed/Thurs it would be phenomenal. Vetplant and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted July 11, 2021 Share 11 of the 32 breakaway riders have won at least one stage at the Tour de France before. They total 34 stage victories (like Eddy Merckx and Mark Cavendish for their individual account…). Julian Alaphilippe and Vincenzo Nibali have won six times each. Wout van Aert and Alejandro Valverde have four wins, followed by Michael Matthews and Nairo Quintana (3), Dylan Teuns (2), Dan Martin (2), Thomas De Gendt (2), Matej Mohoric (1) and Ion Izagirre (1) Mntboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still feel Green is not as competitive as the Polka Dot. Certainly not over, I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_ Posted July 11, 2021 Share Genuine question - is it a tactic that UAE pace so slowly. Or are they just tired/not suited to it. Every time another team takes over leading the peloton the time gap crumbles. It's gone from 10 mins to 6 in no time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_ Posted July 11, 2021 Share I'm liking today's WvA. Mad pace on the steep bits. Come on boytjie. Jersey and a stage not far away now! DieselnDust and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
