Tour de France 2021

Oh, has he got a new job?

Reminder that at least 2 forumengers will be watching tomorrow's stage at LMNH: https://www.lfgss.com/events/6214/

He could be a contender if he joins QS next year 😏

Such a shame that Jasha Sutterlin was the only cyclist who had to pull out of the race, his Tour de France dream ruined on the first day. Such a pointless accident.

On penalty note: Uran did a poppy paws for few seconds when attacked. Was there any comment from the ASO?

He could return in the next few years as a Valverde like figure.
His best behind him, but wouldn’t be at all surprised to see him win stuff.

... with hair plugs

Yes, that's the UCI rule 2.2.025

He didn't win the stage and he didn't secure anything, in the end.

Disagree, he got time in everyone but Carapaz. Beating Carapaz in the TT would be much easier than dealing with Rigo.

^ this.

As I mansplained to non-cycldorks IRL and @amey here during the stage … everyone bar Podge is racing for 2nd.

But the stage win….oh never mind

I dunno. I'd bet he was really pushing but dug for a bit more. I think that's the kinda rider he is

Disagree. As Hennie Kuiper said, racing is about clearing everyone else's plate before starting on your own and yesterday Vingegaard was holding his plate out to Pogacar and asking him what he wanted.

If accurate, 49m at 5.9w/kg is very strong but not enough to beat Pogacar.

Is he taking requests? Pog’s Col de Romme, please.

clearing everyone else's plate before starting on your own

If that were true I'd be a much better racer.

Oh, you mean metaphorically.

World Tour level digestive system.

Good response by team boss Milan Erzan, he's a class act.

lol

Movistar were also at the same hotel in Pau but they were not visited by the authorities.

ice cold

I've not seen anything on the road that suggests Movistar are on the juice

Wonder why rod ellingworth soon left.
