Tour de France Tour de France 2021, Stage 18: Pau – Luz Ardiden, 129.7 km

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Cav at 8 mins, what do we think the time cut is today?

Looking like 36 minutes.

He's losing around 1 minute per KM of climbing so as it stands he has a reasonable buffer in case the final climb is ridden a bit quicker at the sharp end.

Van Baarle doing a Dennis now

 

[luckyboy]

There won't be much suspense in the TT then. Just O'Connor and Kelderman fighting over 4th place.

Van Baarle doing a Dennis now

They are loosing ground on Gaudu, so no

depleted uran

KoM War has commenced!

 

[titan31]

Shame for Uran.

Woods and Poels coming to play now though

 

[burning]

I am disappointed that Pogacar is not chasing Poels and Woods

 

[woodburn]

Woods tried.

 

[titan31]

Poels not working here is silly. He needs to grab as much points as he can here to hold off Pogacar

 

[woodburn]

Andy and Alberto just rode by the leaders after starting a few minutes back on the climb.

 

[Fantastico]

I don't get why Woods and Poels did not try to go earlier or even follow the Gaudu move.

 

[spalco]

Poels not working here is silly. He needs to grab as much points as he can here to hold off Pogacar

It seems they really don't like each other.

 

[dercuforever]

VAN BAARLE Dylan > G.T. and Uran ? nice.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Tourmalet and fog, name a better duo.

 

[ice&fire]

KOM war is meaningless. With dudes up the road Woods/Poels get peanuts and will need Pogacar finishing 6th or something.

Tourmalet and fog, name a better duo.

Fish and Chips

 

[BlueRoads]

Cav dropped from Gruppetto, with teammates, they say.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Pierre Latour (or Loltour) attacking backwards

 

[woodburn]

Gaudu dropped LaTour?

 

[Eclipse]

Revising my opinion of Gaudu's descending this tour.

 

[Tim Cahill]

You fall off on this one its bye bye sunday football

 

[Volderke]

Latour takes the corners like my grandma.

 

[Red Rick]

Small chance Gaudu could have enough with 1'30?

Cav dropped from Gruppetto, with teammates, they say.

the tracker has him with his teammates as he has been the whole climb
