Tour de France Tour de France 2021, Stage 16: Pas de la Case – Saint-Gaudens, 169.0 km

[titan31]

Chase group need to get a move on if they want any chance of winning.

 

[Faserr]

Gaudu doesn't have the legs.

 

[titan31]

Who knows what the actual time gap is now though, it went crazy there.

 

[Eclipse]

Well GPS is all over the place. Now it seems like they are eating into Konrad's lead quite a bit after all

and Colbrelli is still there

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Been obvious for a while that a lot of people in that chasing group don't have the legs, or Core would have gone differently. Still a long distance to solo though.

 

[wirral]

"The colour of his bike gives him motivation."

 

[BlueRoads]

Colbrelli has wasted so many years of his career thinking he's a sprinter.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Mythical Bad Weather Climber Colbrelli strikes again.

 

[Red Rick]

Just drop him already Sonny

 

[Mayomaniac]

Colbrelli is turning into one of those mythical sprinter-climbers who usually only appear at the Volta a Portugal.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It's better for Gaudu to have Colbrelli with him. Of course it would have been even better if it was someone else, but alone I doubt he would have a chance of catching Konrad.

 

[spalco]

Come on Konrad!

Gaudu dragging Colbrelli to victory would be a *** stupid ending for this stage.

 

[Eclipse]

Colbrelli needs to hit the front and push on asap.

If he sits on Gaudu at all this is going to become a 1 v 7 not a 3 v 5

 

[titan31]

Will Gaudu work with Colbrelli now in the flat. He'll know he'll be outsprinted clearly by him so still might be good for Konrad here if they start looking ay each other.

 

[Leinster]

Gaudu doesn't have the legs.

But Colbrelli rides for Bahrain.

 

[BlueRoads]

It's better for Gaudu to have Colbrelli with him. Of course it would have been even better if it was someone else, but alone I doubt he would have a chance of catching Konrad.

I think he has a better chance of catching Konrad alone than beating Colbrelli in a sprint.

 

[Eclipse]

Ok Colbrelli is getting shredded on the descent lol

 

[Leinster]

Will Gaudu work with Colbrelli now in the flat. He'll know he'll be outsprinted clearly by him so still might be good for Konrad here if they start looking ay each other.

If he sits on and Colbrelli gets caught by the group behind, Gaudu finishes 7th. If he works with Colbrelli there's a chance he can jump Konrad on the cat4. If I was Gaudu, I'd work.

And Gaudu is definitely descending like he wants to catch Konrad.

 

[spalco]

I think he has a better chance of catching Konrad alone than beating Colbrelli in a sprint.

He's not beating Colbrelli in a sprint if Colbrelli rides backwards on a fixed gear bike I think.

 

[Gigs_98]

Colbrelli following Gaudu on the climb before struggeling to follow him on the descent, just as we all expected

 

[spalco]

Did ASO borrow the Giro GPS system?

 

[BlueRoads]

But obviously Gaudu thinks the same as Samu.

 

[Eclipse]

DQ the peloton

 

[RedheadDane]

Time-gap from Konrad to Gaudu/Colbrelli got a bit drunk, and now it's gone.

BTW, nice to see that ASO took the consequences of Gilbert's crash a few years ago, and put some markers on that corner.

 

[Tim Cahill]

I think one of the main takeaways from 1995 is that in the 26 intervening years there still hasn't been a proper conversation about what kind of images are acceptable to show/repeat on a sports broadcast, see; Eriksen, Remco.
