No surprises or weaknesses here. I thought Rohan Dennis not being there was a bit of a surprise, he has been on the training camps, but I suppose the standard is super high and he has Olympic ambitions. Also hear rumors he may be switching to Jumbo Visma https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/rohan-dennis-to-join-jumbo-visma-from-ineos-grenadiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harryn Posted June 20, 2021 Share I have temporarily re-activated my dstv just for the tour and for Wimbledon. With all the works stress, and the covid surge doom and gloom, i really need a pick me up, and I cant wait. I hope to watch as much of it as I can on the trainer.

Long Wheel Base Posted June 21, 2021 Share So stages 1 and 2 are both giving 50 points to the winner for points classification but are both uphill finishes so there isn't the 3km rule and the 3" protocol for mass sprints won't be applied. GC guys are all going to want to be right up there with the sprinters till the line so to speak. Going to be chaotic but fun.

Stage one final climb: Stage two final climb: There will not be a pure sprinter left at the finish line. It looks like the Tour organisers want Alaphillippe to have the first yellow shirt this year.

I think he MvdP will be trying to get yellow on his back in honour of his granddad or uncle or some such. I am not sure if he will finish, but he is definitely going to start and be in the mix for stages like this. I enjoy watching Valverde ride bikes. Seeing him in yellow at 41 would be rad.
