Wayne pudding Mol Posted June 29, 2021 Share The internet is on my side - I believed he could do it at a time he probably couldn’t but I just love his passion for riding a bike his gratitude to the team for giving him a chance and his teammates for believing was there for us all to see He beat everyone that is there and win 31 took a while but it’s on the books - now the green jersey would crown off a special career but now I’m just being greedy hincapie will be happy and old man Pat just keeps reminding us what a wily old fox he is stuff like this is why I ride a bike - guys from these new balls to the wall young guns to the comeback kings just make me wanna roll peetwindhoek, DJR, DIPSLICK and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted June 29, 2021 Share More seriously, the Manx Missile nearly got switched at 180 kms to go just passing the flying de Moer, he 'regrouped' and just kept staying in the contest. Class is permanent. dsw, Wayne pudding Mol, TheoG and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted June 29, 2021 Share So, moving day in the TT tomorrow. Wout and Tadej probably most likely to move into Yellow at the end of the stage. Pretty sure MvdP will give it his all to wear it one more day, but I fear it won't be enough. The World Champion has a proper TT too, so might just nick it. Remember that TT into Pau... If Tadej moves into Yellow it might be too early, but he won't hold any punches. UAE will just hope some strong classics riders go up the road and take Yellow away for a couple of days until they reach the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knersboy Posted June 29, 2021 Share If you think about it both Patrick Lefevere and Cav have similar attributes, no wonder they work well together. Mark has never had the power numbers of other sprinters, and wasn’t taken seriously because of it at the beginning of his career. Patrick doesn’t have the budget of some of the other big teams. Both make up for it with their skill and craft. That’s why Cav won today, Bouhanni was flying on the outside, but he had already got boxed in. Cav positioned himself perfectly. Amazing the team spirit Patrick has in that team. Edited June 29, 2021 by Knersboy Wayne pudding Mol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure Wout has the legs for a TT win yet. maybe at the 2nd TT. Tadej, Kung maybe AlaPhillipe for the Podium. Tomorrow we'll see if Roglic will be a factor in this years race. He's ranked #1 TTist in 2021 so anything more than 30sec dropped to Tadej will be difficult to overturn in weeks 2&3 But anything can happen. Others GC contenders have not had Roglic's rotten TDF luck TheoG, Wayne pudding Mol and Vetplant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring on the crosswinds and rider's errors in judgment, like not paying attention to their positioning on a final climb, etc. Do bonus seconds count this year? Haven't looked. Hope they do and they all race each other for those precious seconds. Should be a good Tour, on paper, let's hope it lives up to it on the road. Maybe next year...

DJuice Posted June 29, 2021 Share Few ZAR down on Cav for Paris. Secret Pro thinks the course is to tuff for him to finish. With no Olimpics on the cards, the high of today, Paris must be on the horizon. Wayne pudding Mol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in that bumper year for DD he pulled out early. Dirt Tracker and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
