Tour de France Tour de France 2021, Stage 17: Muret – Saint-Lary-Soulan Col du Portet, 178.4 km

[Blanco]

Why are Israel riding?

Because they can

 

[glassmoon]

Because they can

Even riders get bored during this TdF...

 

[Blanco]

Vingegaard will be a co-leader in the Tour from now on, I'm pretty sure. Jumbo is all about the Tour.

No one will be co-leader with Roglic in the team...

Why did the peloton let the break get so much time ?
What is wrong with these guys ?

Dont they want to win KOM or green

Dont they want to win a stage

why did they not keep it at 4 minutes or less

 

[Red Rick]

Woods wants to attack on Peyresourde probably

They will catch them, not before the intermediate sprint, though.

Not all will be caught on top of peyresourde, but at least some, and Woods and co need all the points they can get.

Let's wait and see how his Vuelta defense goes.

I'd say they won't have the break caught by the top of it so not sure what points will be there. His best chance imo is it they don't as if he goes clear with others, they'll just drop him on the descent.

Arkea now working for Quintana.

Contract through 2023 too

Crushweak for the Giro win in 2023!
You read it here first

 

[sir fly]

Considering the situation, the best chance for KOM contenders will be to attack at the bottom of Portet and hope the GC contenders will mark each other out.

I'm assuming I also read it here last.

 

[Oliver]

Why are Israel riding?

Because Froomey wants to ride in 5th position of the peleton for the last time... With a whole team around him, like in his good old days (Now it's possible/No Mountains) .

 

[HelloDolly]

Why is the finish good for Pello Bilbao? Or any finish? He's won exactly one one-day race in his entire career. All the way back in 2014.

They will catch them, not before the intermediate sprint, though.

no indication that they will

And my points stands they should not have given them so much time

[Sciatic]

Who is the BORA rider in the break who keeps getting extra air off the speed bump “jumps”?

 

[70kmph]

Here comes team Hobbit

Pöstlberger.

 

[Oliver]

Still 8 minutes... Israel needs to ride a bit harder

 

[luckyboy]

The break has actually gained time since ISN went on the front haven't they?

Everything about the start of this stage has been bad lol. The breakaway, 110km of flat road, ISN...

 

[dercuforever]

The day has finally arrived. The day where I'm whishing for a mega train from Ineos.

 

[jfazendeiro]

I want to see teledeporte but I'm not in Spain. Can anyone help?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Froome has learned ISN the tactic of looking like they're working hard without actually doing much.

But the break might have used a lot of energy to keep the gap, so they could lose a lot when they reach Peyresourde.

Use a VPN. I have been watching all the tour with them that way. Today's guest is Indurain

 

[jfazendeiro]

Yes, that's the reason. Thanks
