Tour de France Tour de France 2021, Stage 12: Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux – Nîmes, 159.4 km

Isn't it Sweeney, the Lotto guy?

Yes, dunno why I had Van Moer in my head

Sweeney is definitely fastest of the 4!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Rain where the peloton is, all the GC teams with their heads up.

 

[sir fly]

Half a minute is a gap for the mind games between the groups.

 

[Earns1985]

It´s not over yet for the chasing group. The gap has stabilised with 30s and they are more riders (so everyone has to spend less energy)

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Just a tiny shower, the GC teams have eased back down.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Sweeny should play the Van Moer and neo-pro cards soon and skip turns.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Sweeny should play the Van Moer and neo-pro cards soon and skip turns.

If anything, he looks the strongest of the quartet. He launched the initial move with his bottle in his teeth while Kung appeared to have to work hard to get his wheel

He could pull the I've never won anything card, although I doubt it would work on Politt and Erviti.

He looks strong, but he would still put himself in a better position if he saves some energy.

None of them will stop working until much closer to the line, especially with the group behind still within a minute.

We will see someone trying to solo soon though.

Piccolo giro della Lombardia apparently

Sweeny: *Attacks! *
Producers: Let's show the back-end of the peloton!

 

[Earns1985]

Küng dropped..

 

[BlueRoads]

WHY are Movistar riding now?

 

[BlueRoads]

And if only Ala would target one stage properly instead of working everyday.

 

[RedheadDane]

Politt goes.

 

[Earns1985]

GOOOO NIIILLLSSSS!!!!

 

[titan31]

Looks done. Politt has it won

 

[Eclipse]

Bad call from Sweeney if he's got energy. Pretty clear Erviti doesn't have the pop to respond

 

[Broccolidwarf]

WHY are Movistar riding now?

The ONLY thing I can think is, that Carapaz has a technical

 

[spalco]

WHY are Movistar riding now?

Intermediate sprint? Who the *** knows. Maybe they desperately need the 50 Franks or whatever you get for a sprint point.

 

[ice&fire]

Clever from Politt. Attack when the weakest opponent is in your wheel.

 

[sir fly]

Someone has to save the Tour if Sagan's not there...

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Ticker miles off. Politt had 25 secs at the 10 km to go banner

 

[Panda Claws]

lol.

Wuyts: Movistar working on the front.. perhaps they have a plan?
De Cauwer: We've seen these kind of plans before.
