Tour de France Tour de France 2021, Stage 10: Albertville – Valence, 190.7 km

"Birgit" has become so much better, knows better when to talk and when to be silent now, but I'm still annoyed they let someone without any cycling/ peloton knowledge take part in the commentary of the grand-tours. She seems very good with languages, knows the English, Italian and French pronounciations well, but she translates the short interviews sometimes weirdly, obviously unaware of most cycling expressions, a few days ago I heard her pronounce Wout completely wrong several times (obviously not due to general pronounciation problems like Jens Voigt, but because she wasn't completely familiar with the name), and now she said Enrico Mas?

I think today it was really optimistic to expect anything else. Cav's also certainly not unbeatable in the finale even in a soft stage.

I think it's silly for someone like Bahrain or BikeExchange not to just throw someone up to drive the pace going uphill. At the least you tire the legs out or Cavendish even if you don't drop him.

You're decisive!

 

[broppo]

they should force quickstep to do all the chasing, but of course they are not going to do that.....

 

[Vesica]

DSM really is one of the most stupid teams on the planet.

 

[dgodave]

Nice witch's hat steeple.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

DSM have got absolutely nothing to ride for other than sprints. They'll probably get nothing in the sprint anyway, but letting the stage go without a sprint would be to absolutely guarantee they get nothing.

I wonder how much british ES would care about this *** intermediate sprint if Cavendish wasn't wearing the green jersey.

Awful isn't it. An entertainment show catering to the interests of it's target audience. Will never catch on.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Please don't tell me Sagan was trying there...

they should still force the quickstep train to tire out. They should bluff a little

Until the stage finish, it’s literally the only action they’ve got to show in 4 hours of coverage. They’d be hyping up the sprint if it was still the “Sagan with a 200 point lead” days.

Yeah. Remembering those days.

I just saw a short video of the final, I hope that we won't see a big crash with the rather narrow road and that roundabout with just over 200m to go.

 

[Kangaridoo]

Would be hilarious if Cees Bol gets dropped on the final climb

Where did you see it?
Looking for it all around the web...

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Danger of catching the break too soon?

 

[Netserk]

Same last 3 km as in 2015 when Greipel won (which was a good profile for a sprint stage with Sagan in the break).

Do you think Morton's quest could be a message to someone?

 

[Taxus4a]

Froome at the front smiling and talking...Good signal.

 

[sir fly]

Has Slovenia overtaken Slovakia in international recognition?

Most of us probably be at the front smiling and talking with this pace tbf.

You are wrong if you think that...Kuss is behind trying to catch for some kilometres.
it was 40 Km/h... after 100 Km os stage at TdF of course just a few people can do that.
