Tour de France 2021

@si_mon628

Well thanks, didn't dare start one... but here we are. I think this sums up my anticipation nicely.

Edit: already posted in the pro cycling thread, but never mind!

Is there a Velogames league?

@beseku Yes, It's Velogames XX111 LFGSS Armchair DS

is there a league code?

506400017

Where's the start date? Where's the start list? Where's the route map and profile?

You've slipped since the glory days of the tubeless thread...

thanks!

I'm in

Various people have talked about targeting the Olympics. For those doing that and the tour, when are they likely to pull out of the tour? First rest day? The second?

Barring any unfortunate events Thomas and TGH wont be able to pull out.

MVDP might want to get yellow and then bin it off with ‘tummy troubles’ on day four.

That bloke from astana who bought his win is off the team

Does this mean we're coming to the end of GVA in that abominable golden helmet?

Porte seemed like a good price for an ew at 25/1. If only it wasn’t Porte.

Joining in the enthusiasm for Carapaz. Big fan of the guy. For me the gc battle is gonna be something like:
Carapaz & Roglic (good guys) vs Thomas & Pogacar (bad guys)

You forgot Uran

Will Froome get shelled on Stage 8?

He will lose a chunk of time on stage 1 and 2. They’re punchy finishes and long enough for decent gaps to open up.

Ooofft it’s a harsh world

He’s not going as ISN’s leader so pointless him burning matches early on. I’d like to see him get in a break later in the race and have a final day in the sun. He deserves that.

Lol.

I miss 'Olympic champion Sammy Sanchez' and his gold sidis

Also a big fan but not quite on that level? Keen to see what he can do after that Swiss tt though

Does this mean we're coming to the end of GVA in that abominable golden helmet?

GVA ain't best pleased.
