Tour de France Tour de France 2021, Stage 11: Sorgues – Malaucène, 198.9 km

[titan31]

That's one down from the top 10 (two of the top 11 if Bilbao is still dropped from earlier)

 

[Netserk]

Jour sans for Gaudu. The toll from the rainy weekend?

 

[Samamba]

DNF Benoot.

Good choice going to DSM.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

McLay and Benoot abandons. That's 6 already today, right?

Jour sans for Gaudu. The toll from the rainy weekend?

The toll from riding for FDJ

 

[T-Nielsen]

Poor Groupama-FDF. Disaster Tour for them.

Sadly it is rather baseline for them.

Looks like he's definitely sick.

 

[spalco]

Nairo dropped also, according to race center?

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Greipel making no mistakes in marking his biggest rival for the Champs-Élysées, Nairoman, who as so often is saving energy for green.

Was Bilbao dropped earlier on? I didn't notice that.

 

[Leinster]

Benoot, McLay, Scotson, vdSande, T Martin all abandoned today; Every sprint train is losing leadout men, even the teams that don't actually have a sprinter any more.

Oh, and Gaudu barfing on the bike.

McLay and Benoot abandons. That's 6 already today, right?

With Campanaerts so far down riding by himself too, he'll likely be another

Someone posted he was in the Cavendish group earlier on here.

I don't think so, unless he even dropped from that group. Or he's somewhere in between grupetto and peloton.

Taking it from this post anyway. Didn't see it myself

According to the Race Center at letour.fr he is together with Gaudu now.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

DNF Benoot.

Good choice going to DSM.

Good choice picking him for Tokyo, based on whatever the fck he's achieved this season.

 

[Finn84]

Six abandons already today. All on team which had already lost rider(s).

 

[Lequack]

Pogacar really put the Ineos team to work today.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

I'm working, so only half watching but everytime for like the last 1,5 hours I pulled the coverage up, Thomas was pacing the Ineos train.
Is he trying to become Ganna by leading the Peleton for 100km now that his GC ambitions are over or are they rotating and I have just missed it?

 

[jarvo]

anyone know the time cut for today?

Thomas is the donkey today, pulling the train solo so far.

 

[perico]

Do we know why he is short on proper equipment?

because he is in England or Africa in a small studio, not NBC studios due to travel restrictions I presume. There was a big article about it in the Wall Street Journal before the Tour last year, and I know he is working in the same place this year while Bob Roll is in the States. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the only guys in the same location are the in studio guys.

That’s also why McCrossin and Gerrans took over the world feed from Keenan and McEwan last year. The Tour only allows so many in the press call the race now. I’m not sure about it this year, but last year that was the case. I’d much rather have McEwan and Keenan personally, though Gerrans is OK.

In NBC’s case, they aren’t putting any resources behind programming on NBC Sports Network programming anymore as the channel is shutting down this fall. Phil is on an open contract and won’t be replaced until he retires. As an American, that’s fine with me. It’s easy enough for me to know when he makes a mistake, so it doesn’t bother that much when you consider the alternative which would be a completely Americanized broadcast. Roll has improved and did a pretty decent job as the lead commentator with either Horner or VDV doing the commentary in the Vuelta last year, but for the Tour they’d probably dig up Trautwig out of the attic to replace Liggett.

Mock Ineos as much as you want, but nothing happens if you don't try. If they manage a selection (and in the last shot it looked like Pogacar only had one man next to him), and there's any kind of problem for Pogacar, that's their chance.
