Tour de France Tour de France 2021, Stage 21: Chatou – Paris Champs-Élysées, 108.4 km

[Bolder]

I am curious who is the last rider to win a mountain, sprint, and time trial stage in a GT?

I'd imagine their initials are EM...

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

HA!!

 

[Faserr]

Greipel fifth on his last Tour de France stage. I think he will be happy.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Philipsen: "I did it for Eddy, I did it for the people!"

No Hobbit happy end in Paris, the Danish Eagle couldn't save him this time.

He's not an eagle, he's a beautiful swan!

 

[KZD]

Monumental stuff from Van Aert. He is just crazy good.
Nice to see Greipel fifth on his last Tour.

 

[canarydan23]

Philipsen sacrificing his own chance to ruin Cav's. Not great to see but he is a compatriot of Merckx I guess.

Kirby on suicide watch.

 

[RedheadDane]

That was presumably Teunissen with the leadout? Huge power to get onto the front there.

I certainly don't think it was Kuss.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

WVA with a good sprint, Quickstep with the hubris bitting them. Good job Van Aert, wins across all three disciplines.

This! They had the ability to address the win 2 days ago, and were too concentrated on the storybook ending. Well, the best books are the ones that flip the script.

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

What was the reasoning behind moving the finish?

 

[Mayomaniac]

He's not an eagle, he's a beautiful swan!

But Frodo got saved by an Eagle...

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Kirby on suicide watch.

Idunno, he is a bit of a van Aert fanboy too.

 

[Andy262]

Amazing achievement from WVA.

Cav got that wrong but may not have quite had the legs today.

 

[tobydawq]

I cannot express how glad I am that Cavendish didn't win. Low, I know.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

I wanted Philipsen to win and ruin everybody's narrative, lol. But chapeau VA, just crazy considering how off shape he looked at the beginning of the Tour.

 

[will-10]

What was the reasoning behind moving the finish?

To change the race. Worked well

 

[sir fly]

Van Aert was really quick, but it was positioning that denied Cavendish of victory.
Amazing performance by WVA these three weeks.

Cav needs to come back next year to get clear.

 

[Red Rick]

Van Aert won, sprinting field weak at last.

 

[titan31]

If WVA is allowed focus on stage wins, he'll probably take the record himself. 5 in 2 years now and he can win on any stage.

 

[Tobi]

What an amazing rider WVA is

 

[Mayomaniac]

Kirby on suicide watch.

Imagine if Simon Clarke pulled a Vino, how would Kirby react?

 

[glassmoon]

ISS love it

 

[zlev11]

thank god.

 

[Valv.Piti]

I cannot express how glad I am that Cavendish didn't win. Low, I know.

Lol, same. Especially when Wout won though, my favourite rider outside of Valverde and I guess its time to post my picture of me and him before the 1st stage of Tour of Denmark 2018. A quite hilly stage towards the end I told him to go for, and guess what, won the stage and the race! Because of course he did.

Allez Wout!

If WVA is allowed focus on stage wins, he'll probably take the record himself. 5 in 2 years now and he can win on any stage.

1 in his 1st Tour, 2 in 2nd, 3 in 3rd,... Quick maths show us that he'll have the record in 2026.
