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

[BlueRoads]

There are many great stories possible today - Cavendish or van Aert or a breakaway or Greipel... now imagine Cees Bol winning it.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

That sounded genuine from Brad.

There are many great stories possible today - Cavendish or van Aert or a breakaway or Greipel... now imagine Cees Bol winning it.

Bol would be a good one. He beats a former 4 time winner in the TT and pulls it together to win the sprint in Paris. And then wakes up tomorrow realizing it was all a dream and he lost his lead outs wheel again…… he’s got this!

 

[Valv.Piti]

Casper Pedersen not pulling because he got...... freakin Cees Bol in the peloton

 

[tobydawq]

DSM out-DSM'ing themselves. Jesus Christ.

 

[Valv.Piti]

And now he stopped. What a *** miserable team

 

[tobydawq]

Casper Pedersen not pulling because he got...... freakin Cees Bol in the peloton

Not only that. He is called back

 

[RedheadDane]

Awww... Pedersen made to wait.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Not only that. He is called back

Yes of course, I could have told myself that. Why try to win when you can sprint for 6th with a 4th tier sprinter in a miserable sprinting field.

Oh yes yes yes yes yes. *** amateurish team

 

[Lequack]

Why do these other sprint teams like getting beaten by DQS so much? Their only tactic is bringing sprinters to the line and hoping they will somehow beat the DQS train, which never happens.

Wout will win today.

 

[Faserr]

DSM is a really crazy team. Really uninspriring.

No one should help DQS chasing until they are down to Morkov.

 

[T-Nielsen]

Casper Pedersen must have failed to fill out the proper spreadsheet.

He is lucky that the team does not pull him from the race...

 

[skippo12]

Morkov could probably win half of the sprints himself. No slipstream and he still manages to stay in front of anyone not named Cavendish.

 

[Leinster]

BEX should just lead out Mezgec for the final. He's having to jam on the brakes to make sure he doesn't take Matthews' points in all the intermediates.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Matthews probably won't win the green jersey, but I admire his work for maintaining the suspense in that competition. That was needed in a race where the yellow jersey was decided many days ago.

 

[Bonimenier]

BEX should just lead out Mezgec for the final. He's having to jam on the brakes to make sure he doesn't take Matthews' points in all the intermediates.

Same for Morkov though.

Off all the stages Cav has won, he could have won the one he finished second. None of the others the way they played out.

 

[Carols]

Merckx was Froome, Contador, Valverde, Cancellara, and Boonen combined together. No reason to hate.

I don't hate Cav. I hate the Fawning over him!

 

[Leinster]

Pogi loves a good airshow.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Pogacar with one yellow, and one white shoe.
Surely he should be wearing a polka-dot helmet to complete the image.

Or he could have dyed his hair.

 

[yaco]

I agree - Matthews has wrapped up 2nd place in the green jersey competition.

 

[SHAD0W93]

I don't hate Cav. I hate the Fawning over him!

That’s fair.

 

[RedheadDane]

I don't hate Cav. I hate the Fawning over him!

I don't think the potential breaking of the record would've been quite as impressive if he hadn't had his down-period. It's that, and his subsequent comeback, that makes the story that amazing to me.
