Guys use them during long training days More like 2 dots on a map, of his competitors, disappearing behind him... That's interesting, I'll look it up. What a week Mr Wakefield! High 5s all round. Utter domination. Vetplant, justinafrika, J Wakefield and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballingCyclist Posted July 4, 2021 Share 1 hour ago, Dirt Tracker said: Wonder how many riders abandoned today and how any will miss the time cut. Seeing riders like Stevie K coming in 31 minutes down. Brutal day. Cav' has 5 minutes to make it in at the moment. I see Cav made it with just under 2mins to spare, Arnaud Demare however missed the cut. If there are enough riders who missed the cut, the jury may just extend the cut off. Maincheese up to 19th on GC, Can't find any news where Nic and Stefan both finished. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetplant Posted July 4, 2021 Share Is it just me or is this edition of the TDF being raced in a completely out-of-control manner thus far? It has a Giro-with-added-gunpowder feel to it?! Sid the Sloth, Mountain Bru, Chris_ and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They not as large as they used to be and once you have lost 2-3 guys to accidents, one can't dominate the pelaton like they used too. So everyone just goes for it.

Mountain Bru Posted July 4, 2021 Share 2 hours ago, dsw said: A sprinter coming third on a mountaintop finish. Unheard of, luckily he is also not riding for SKY. Don't want to take anything away from Colbrelli, but does this not say something about the pace that UAE were setting on the climbs? Even when Ineos were in front today and Gee was trying to pull, they weren't really tearing things up. In the old days of the old Sky/Ineos train, or even the TJV train last year, no one who wasn't an in form top tier climber was hanging on. Not taking anything away from Pogacar, but I don't think he's competing against the strongest field this year, and no one seems to have the team to really expose him. dexterdent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard Matt White (Bike Exchange DS) talking on a podcast, and he said that they slightly relaxed the time cut limits this year, but now there's no exceptions. If you're outside the limit, you're out. Apparently in years past, guys were abusing the "big group leniency", so the organizers put their foot down. But thats all just talk. If Cav and 80 riders are OTL, it'll be a big move to kick them all off the tour. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably also the effect of the teams being a bit more balanced in power, and no team being able to completely shut things down on the last few stages. Also the effect of Pogacar being the strongest rider, but his team not being as dominant, and not having a Luke Rowe/Panzerwagon/Declerqc that can ride a high tempo on the front all day and control things. And also Alpecin was also in yellow for a few days, but they made no real attempt to control the race like the leader's team normally does because MVDP wasn't following the script and was sommer getting into the break himself. Makes for great viewing, but probably exhausting for the riders to spend 70km going balls to the wall waiting for a break to get away.
