Tour de France Tour de France 2021, Stage 14: Carcassonne – Quillan, 183.7 km

[Eclipse]

Quintana somehow disinterested?

Perhaps not good enough legs to waste energy and backing that nobody is going to clean up on a bunch of cat 2s while there's bigger stuff to come

 

[RedheadDane]

So... can we officially declare the break(s) to have gone?

1'40 ain't a lot tbf.

Strange that it isn't going up faster.

 

[Netserk]

Far easier than the previous climb; Croix des Morts:

Ah, but this one is deadly!

Rolland too late to the party, its already over.

Very high altitude summit tomorrow, thought maybe he was be passive today and go for big points tomorrow.

Why are you even carrying a lighter on the motorbike?

So he can smoke a phat one.

Cattaneo is a classy rider who sits 11th on the gc while still working a lot for Cav and Ala (on the first few stages).

With a classic Tour route with lots of kms of ITTs and a few hard mountain stages he could probably be a legit top 10 rider when it comes to the gc.

 

[Netserk]

Cattaneo (Quick-Step), Poels (Bahrain) and Woods (Israel).

Sergio Higuita (EF Education-Nippo), Patrick Konrad (Bora-Hansgrohe), Omar Fraile (Astana), Louis Meintjes (Intermarché-Wanty Gobert), Esteban Chaves (BikeExchange), Guillaume Martin (Cofidis) and Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo) @ 25''

Rolland et al @ 1'30''

Ala was asking for a different bottle—perhaps with something stronger!

 

[HelloDolly]

How many riders are going to make it to Paris ???

 

[HelloDolly]

Seems to me the Tour as a whole is actually harder for sprinters


Bouhanni and Bol way out the back
Mind you Bol's confidence must be on the deck

Hooraay ! Chaves has finally made a break after 35 stages in the TDF - Pity that tomorrow is a better fit - Let's see what happens.

 

[Eclipse]

Guillaume Martin is like the anti-ninja

Not blessed with any truly elite gifts but constantly putting himself out there to find his way towards a respectable GC finish

 

[dercuforever]

When will movistar start riding ?

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Ala was asking for a different bottle—perhaps with something stronger!

He should cycle up alongside Wiggins then.

 

[Netserk]

Surprisingly tight leash the break is kept on by UAE.

 

[will-10]

UAE doing their best to make sure Pogacar is isolated later on
