dsw Posted June 30, 2021 Share Today should tell us whether Geraint and Roglic have recovered enough to be still seen as serious competitors for yellow and also whether Carapaz has improved his time trialing skills sufficiently not to lose too much time to Pogacar. For stage honours I would put my money on Stefan Kung but will not discount the chances of Van Aert or even the world champion.

lechatnoir Posted June 30, 2021 Share MVDP finished 2019 Tour of Britain ITT in top 10 - yes, it was a shorter stage, and who knows what the parcours was like, but he did beat Dowsett and Sivakov on the day. So as an indicator, hardly reliable, but it shows he wasn't terrible. Today's a different day on a different stage and merely a data point going forward.

Its not fair that one human has so much talent. I hope he gets crushed today. *appropriate font Duane_Bosch, lechatnoir, Scary Rider and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted June 30, 2021 Share A picture stage for GC, especially Gee and Roglič, who’d want to gain bags of seconds and climb back up the ladder? I’m following Keldeman with interest s as he’s been through a rough time with injuries and have shown GC promise a few seasons ago. Wonder what Carapaz can demonstrate? 27 kms thereabouts - emptying the tank evenly - gonna be interesting to say the least especially on a slippery course. lechatnoir and TheoG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is also lying 7th overall for the white jersey, 5 mins behind Pog, so a good TT today might move him up a few spots. Go Stefan. He isn't a terrible climber either.

I'm not sure if you mean an africanis, or a seriously weird looking person of dutch heritage? (I'm kidding obviously and agree with all the other comments about your brilliant charity work) Edited June 30, 2021 by NickGM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you mean Alaphillipe as World Champ, because Gana is TT World Champ and he isn't riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
