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

[Gigs_98]

Nairouleur.

 

[Netserk]

Change of scenery and terrain: cliffs, trees and hills.

Tony Martin is off to the ambulance.

 

[Netserk]

Guerreiro chases, Konrad just behind him. The duo (Ala and Nairo) has 30''.

 

[Bonimenier]

We don't know what happened tbf. Maybe Colbrelli targeted another Jumbo member like

It's been a common pattern throughout his career. Sure some of the crashes were bad luck, but when it happens that much, it's not just bad luck.

Also in stage 1 95% of the riders would have tried to avoid that carton board, and some would have succeeded. Martin didn't even try, just kept riding straight at the same pace.

 

[Netserk]

Van Aert insists, a group of ~12 riders are clear. EDIT: No gap. Many try to keep up and get away. Cosnefroy attacks.

Ala distances Nairo!

It's high time that Tony Martin takes some bike handling lessons. Can't stay on a bike for 2 stages straight.

Been doing this all his career, he is a lost case.

"sie sind sich einig", when Quintana is nothing but wheelsucking

 

[Devil's Elbow]

What on earth is Alaphilippe doing? Quintana must be pissed at missing the GPM point too.

 

[Red Rick]

Alaphilippe clearly ate his cereal with vodka this morning

 

[Netserk]

Alaphilippe alone with a gap, Van Aert caught Quintana, Asgreen marks and closes the move.

Van Aert is too diesel to get away, constantly on the front with riders on his wheel.

 

[Gigs_98]

Does Alaphilippe know this stage isn't 30 km long?

 

[Bonimenier]

Looks like we are in the Tour of Flanders once again.

 

[Red Rick]

Does Alaphilippe know this stage isn 30 km long?

I think he's just doing random *** cause he's not good enough a climber to win this stage anyway

 

[Netserk]

Yates, Teuns, Devenyns, Konrad, Henao and another try to get away.

 

[BlueRoads]

The German commentary today

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Jumbo apparently doesn't give a sh*t about Vingegaards GC aspirations.

 

[Netserk]

QS constantly kill all moves behind.

 

[titan31]

Some weird thing for Green maybe and limit the points/stretch out to make it harder for Colbrelli and Matthews? That's the only logical thing I can see here

 

[Netserk]

3 km to the intermediate sprint. Colbrelli in pole position to take 2nd there.

Who knows. He won two mountain stages from the break in 2018 and De Gendt won on the Ventoux in 2016. A lot can happen

 

[Netserk]

Cav in the second bunch after it split.

 

[Tobi]

Alaphilippe already going solo

I suppose they are trying to force some non-sprinter's teams to chase and go, so that Colbrelli and Matthews don't get ahead for the intermediate.

Plus Ala is being Ala.
