Tour de France Tour de France 2021, Stage 19: Mourenx – Libourne, 207.0 km

[Leinster]

i mean Mohoric is doing the same thing Mollema,Pollit and Konrad did and what he did in first week

once you get 100m on a group of riders, they will never work together

This. It matches up with his Giro and Vuelta stage wins, too (though he did have to outsprint Denz in the Giro) which were 3 and 4 years ago.

The chasers are doing surge and sit, but even if one of them does get a gap, they're never going to close 40s on Mohoric in 9km.

Bahrain blah blah blah

It's not like Mohoric hasn't won solo from a break before. It would be far more surprising if he didn't try. It's down to the crappiness of the chase that he's succeeded

 

[spalco]

lol what a collective stupidity...

The chasers really want to preserve their stage podium it seems.

 

[luckyboy]

Breakaways just messing around while one guy rides away is the worst thing in racing.

How many teams in the chase group have 0 wins in this Tour lol...

 

[glassmoon]

Trek - bunch of idiots failing miserably

 

[Stelvio]

Having your team raided and then your guy who is not a top TTer destroys a group of good rouleurs in a strong headwind shows Bahrain really gives a *** about their reputation.

They don't work well together behind, so of course a strong rider (who has won a few long stages before) has a chance.

 

[spalco]

Won't they also lose the KOM if that is the case?

A worthy sacrifice, Pogacar will win a bunch more of those in the coming years anyway.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Time to bet on Landa to win the Vuelta if he can reach form like this

For Landa form is temporary, but bad luck permanent.

 

[saganftw]

Pollitt looks mighty strong as well, could have won if he timed his attacks better

 

[sir fly]

Riding away seems to be his trademark.

Probably my least favourite WT team. I like some of the riders, but their race 'tactics' are often terrible

5 of them.

TBF to those guys, it's Trek who have 2 riders in the chase group, including probably the 2 best sprinters. It was up to them to hold the group together.

 

[luckyboy]

This has been a very poor/unsuspenseful TDF after a few days of the first week

 

[spalco]

What would you guys think of a "dumbest rider of the previous stage" award, maybe attaching a hand drawn penis to the number on the back of the jersey or making him wear a clown nose?

 

[Escarabajo]

It blows my mind to see riders acting like crabs in a bucket. I see this behavior over and over and over. LOL.
They all prefer to lose.

Huge strength being shown by Mohoric here. Kudos. Slovenia a cycling talent factory.

Prix de la stupidité

 

[Salvarani]

Mohoric is great at what he does

Another impressive win

Hopefully he can do something like this in the classics in the future too. Cancellara style.

Someone direct that man to a phone box, he needs to tell his wife!

Always been a serviceable TTer. This was pretty much done when they let him get clear.

 

[Red Rick]

So much for Pogacar at least Mohoric can drop his competition

 

[Poursuivant]

Zip the lip may not go down to well with the gendarmerie

 

[Stelvio]

Not the best way to end the stage...

Much harder jumping out of a group with guys like VdP or VA than these fools here.

As a QS fans, I don't want Cav to break this golden record in the middle of the week. It must be Champs Elysees or never. It is okay he never win a stage and the records remains 34. It is already legendary.

Patrick must have thought the same.

This is reminding me of Mark Taylor retiring (well, declaring) on 333 runs, which then equaled the great Don Bradnam's highest test innings score by an Australian.
