Tour de France 2021

Blue harbour

Cofidis and DSM will chase for Bouhanni and Bol, whether they’ll be any good at it, we don’t know. Remainder of Alpecin Fenix for Philipsen.

Also Tim Declercq can pull the entire peloton along for 150km.

You called?

So a suggestion that they’ll be crosswinds tomorrow? ❤️

Crosswinds you say?

Interesting listening to Cav on the ITV4 rest day programme, apparently he hasn't been over an alpine pass in three years and Bike Exchange were pulling on the front of the grupetto to drop him.

Bike Exchange have form for it apparently, can't make them popular in the peloton?

simon yates should be stripped off his citizenship like shamima begum; he knew what he was doing when he joined that team

i mean its a race and they have a good sprinter in contention for green jersey; peloton owes cav nothing.

traitor. marine A will be disappointed

Did anything happen to Matthews for that dodgy stg 9 intermediate sprint against Colbrelli?

It’s probably difficult to relegate when 3rd place wasn’t close or contesting?

If your looking for a 'nice' ride under the time limit in the 'bus, then having Bike Exchange ride harder than necessary on the front because they want to drop Cav isn't going to make them popular with everyone else in the 'bus is it?

The ~ 40 last riders with four five or six areCAv teammates and Jansen Amund Grøndahl from Bike Exchange in yesterdays stage.

They probably lol about Cav his old self again in the ITV podcast.

Don't forget Movistar. They'll hit the front and drill it because, well, who the fuck knows? They felt like it. It's a Wednesday. Cav called Valverde a baldy twat. Could be any or all of the above. Or Total Direct Energie might decide to dry out their jerseys. It's a conundrum wrapped in an enigma.

Prolly not, but it's not as though the' bus has been arriving at the finish line with lots to spare. If they were pushing on it probably helped them beat the time cut.

Would appear not

Absolute straw clutching, I think. The wind in Valence tends to blow up or down the valley, not across it. Forecast is for a headwind all day.

Friday's stage has the most chance of crosswinds impacting the race. Will be a very nervous stage.

Team classement is what they want.

please do not speak ill of my fantasy team like this

Anyone fancy spending the afternoon in LMNH on Wednesday to watch the double Ventoux stage?
Website claims they have screens indoors and out

Long and flat(ish) day.
AreCav to bosh out 33?

Ooh! Chambery. I've been there.

Me too!
