Tour de France 2021

after that ... I think lachlan might be onto something

Sam Bennett is probably quite pleased too.

I read that Henri Desgrange first conceived of the Tour as a race so hard that there would be only one finisher.

Caleb moves incredibly fast around the group. It looks like he tried to pop out and misjudged the gap, resulting in…a touch of wheels.

Rog going for a scan on his coccyx. He'll be needing one of those piles cushions for a few days.

Carapaz is quietly gettin on with it.Stayin out of trouble. Third on GC. Now de facto leader? Stayin out of trouble ahead of Pog and Rog.

Roglic off for a scan on his coccyx.

He was without team mates before the flamme rouge and was too far back, so had to move up on his own. He actually did a decent job of that, but I imagine he was breathing out of his arse by the time he got onto Merlier's wheel, so it is no surprise he had a lapse of judgement.

Half the peloton floating round on a Tramdol cloud tomorrow.

Normal day then.

Allegedly.

Meanwhile in the one man grupetto, Lachlan Morton has averaged 40kph so far apparently, which is pretty nuts.

I’ve fallen for Rapha marketing porkies. I feel so ashamed.

That’s some efficiency

Is advise him to keep his Bowles loose as well believe me you don’t want to be straining

Did anyone spot the peloton passing him today? Looks like they crossed over around 70k to go on the tracker.

Conspiracy theory: he only crashes when he wears those old glasses due to the reduced field of vision.

Ewan confirmed with a broken collarbone. Roglic hasn't broken anything but clearly has a lot of tissue injuries.

tissue injuries.

He’s not WFH

Also caused by friction

Roglic seems to have been twatted off his bike by Colbrelli who may have been reacting to riders to his right swerving.

Just caught up. Watched with headphones on and by the time they finished my GF asked me wtf I was watching doing all the ooof-sounds

Unclear exactly what happens but this doesn’t look great

Arm flap alone warrants DQ

Colbrelli said their bars gat tangled as Rogluc tried to move up on the inside while the peloton moved across and closed the gap on the narrow road.
