Tour de France Tour de France 2021, Stage 2: Perros-Guirec - Mûr-de-Bretagne Guerlédan, 183.5 km

[Tim Cahill]

Should've taken Adam Yates

The pure utter sadness that Van der Poel takes such a victory that'll barely register over here cause the national team has to play in 10 minutes.

F*ck football

 

[Mayomaniac]

MVdP wearing the jersey that his late grandfather never got to wear is what I wanted out of the first 2 stages, awesome stuff!

 

[Vino's Mum]

Quintana leading out MvdP on the uphill finish! Good times to be a cycling fan

Yup. If there’d been rain, cobbles, and a crosswind, Nairo would’ve won.

 

[JosefK]

Great, great stage today. Made my day.

 

[Googolplex]

Poor Schelling. All that effort to keep the jersey for nothing.

 

[Eclipse]

Lost time both stages already isn't a good start when he's going to lose a sh1tload in the time trials

Yeah. Already given up 15s when you're giving up 2mins+ on the TT. People will know he only has one route back in and will shut him down, especially if G doesn't ride a good TT as Ineos' will have gone from 3 viable options to 1/2.

Nice to see Nairito light it up (and hang on).

MVDP too much of a freak

 

[Escarabajo]

Moving moment from MVDP. Chapeau!!!
Pure power!!!

[HelloDolly]

Ineos not looking any where near the Slovenian at the moment

Carapaz and Porte the best

 

[luckyboy]

Not really looking great for Ineos is it

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I suspect we'll see Roglic and Pogacar doing multiple stages like Schleck and Contador on Tourmalet. Two hilly stages have been enough to prove there's still no competition.

 

[KZD]

Amazing Van der Poel, its a beautiful moment for cycling, stage and yellow in his first Tour.

On the GC level both Pogačar and Roglic looking one step above others

 

[gunara]

Ala and MvdP as it should be. Lol at the two Slovenes are unseparable from the get go. Mollema quietly presents. But joy of the day for me is recognizing that red bullet as Quintana in my lo-res stream.

MVDP too much of a freak

Ya, he likely loses minutes between the time trials and loses more time likely in bonus seconds as Pog and Rog are far better at these uphill sprints after climbs. He's going to have to make a good 4 minutes in the high mountains which seems unlikely.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Poor Schelling. All that effort to keep the jersey for nothing.

At least he still gets to wear it tomorrow with VDP in yellow, so not quite for nothing but not the same obviously.

 

[IndianCyclist]

THUNDERPOEL was incredible.
The GC is a 2 horse tactical race. INEOS have to do a long ranger to get it with Carapaz their best bet

 

[ppanther92]

And Kelderman is just following them wherever they go...

I mean, until now that looks great. But I don't think he can keep that up. If he can that probably means podium spot.

 

[Breezy1985]

Not really looking great for Ineos is it

Coincidentally it has been a very exciting very emotional few days

 

[Valv.Piti]

Lopez will be at least 4 minutes behind after the TT. This guy needs to attack hard in the Alps while Mas now to be their best chance and try to podium behind the Slovenians in their wheels.

Already looking like a two horse race, but that doesnt have to be a bad thing at all as long as some of the climbers (Lopez, Quintana, Carapaz) etc decides to go hard in the coming weekend

Carapaz and Porte the best

I think the wrong riders lost time unfortunately.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

VDP back in top form today. I mean to attack twice at this climb. Once for the bonis and once for the win, is insanity.

And it worked as well.
No doubt in my mind this VDP can also win Fleche Wallone. I know there are a lot of doubters, but look at this field and the top 20 with all climbers. He can definitely do it.

 

[ppanther92]

Carapaz and Porte the best

Porte lost 42s again...

 

[saganftw]

pogacar and roglic look like tigers in a cage, can Keldermann pull a sneaky this tour? if ineos put all their riders together they might make one decent GC contender

 

[ppanther92]

I guess the only hope for others is that Roglic and Pogacar will be too focused on each other making them participate in energy wasting moves and not covering decisive attacks from other riders.
