Long Wheel Base Posted July 19, 2021 Share Sooooooo if Wout wins or does well, then what excuse do all these okes have for pulling out the tour early? I will be rooting for Wout in both disciplines and I think he will most certainly be the marked man, He will need to ride the RR very smart.

I reckon he is in every race he starts, I'm sure he's used to it by now. TheoG and Long Wheel Base 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_David_ Posted July 19, 2021 Share Looking at the road race profile, I think the course favours a Dan Martin type of rider. Edited July 19, 2021 by _David_ Sid the Sloth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pog and Rog in the Slovenian team will be very difficult to beat. I know Rog is carrying injuries but he can do some grunt work for Pog, even if he is only 80% there. _David_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he's not had an infection and has been able to train mostly normally. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RABUBI Posted July 19, 2021 Share I lived in Yokohama for 2 years, and the heat/humidity in August is no joke. The race starts at 11am, so I think this is going to be a huge factor. humidity in August is 95-100%. attrition rate is going to be very high Sid the Sloth, Jewbacca, _David_ and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wout seemed to cope fine with the heat on the Mont Ventoux x2 stage.... Looking forward to a cracker of a race next week. TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted July 19, 2021 Share No one talking about the woman's race on Sunday? That excites me hugely. The racing there is top notch and heart on sleeve stuff. TheoG, Sydd, Vetplant and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMP is sitting on some splendid form. But it's going to be tough for her against the Dutch squad. Surely in with a chance of a medal?

The Dutch team is very difficult to look past. AMP is really in scintillating form but the course speaks of a slightly more punchy racer. I really hope she can smash it and put our national colours at the pointy end of the race. Scary Rider and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted July 19, 2021 Share Ashleigh is in with a good chance. There's 10 ladies with a realistic shot and she's in the middle of that lot. There's not enough climbing to increase her chances Jewbacca and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
