Tour de France Tour de France 2021, Stage 5: Changé – Laval Espace Mayenne, 27.2 km (ITT)

[Volderke]

Pogacar for the TT.
MvdP keeps yellow.

That's all folks!

 

[Froome]

Van der poel is unbelievable!

 

[Mayomaniac]

Well, looks like I picked the wrong horse to pull an Albi...

 

[TourOfSardinia]

It's like Carapaz doesn't exist

 

[Eclipse]

Kung's sigh lmfao

 

[Tim Cahill]

Only the 'real Froome' can save us now.

 

[IndianCyclist]

Everybody is grimacing except for ...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Küngs face says it all.

 

[woodburn]

Pogacar going to take about a minute from Roglic. Probably 1:30 from Carapaz.

 

[titan31]

With an injured Roglic, barring crashes this Tour looks a formality for Pogacar. He's stronger than I thought tbh.

 

[topt]

I think that Rogla still has chance for a podium

 

[Broccolidwarf]

One tiny ray of GC hope:

If Roglic gets healthy, the second TT should suit him better than Pogacar.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The big question at this rate is whether Pogacar will win this Tour by more or less than 10 minutes.

 

[Lequack]

Does someone have a pic of Wout and Dumoulin watching Pogacar last year? I think we might need it again.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Van Der Poel is dishonouring the race with those socks.

 

[woodburn]

Alaphillipe +49 at second check.

Pogacar can crash too - stranger things have happened.

 

[Eclipse]

We have Kung-cam and it's pretty much equally good

 

[Mayomaniac]

Ala already 5sec behind Cattaneo at the 2nd time check, looks like prediction of him being only the 3rd best DQ rider today was right.

 

[Rollthedice]

Tadeo fenomeno.

 

[happytramp]

I wonder if he didnt bother with his power meter again.

 

[Vroome.exe]

Absolutely no chance he can finish within 1 minute of Pogacar.

 

[titan31]

Pogacar can crash too - stranger things have happened.

Course, that's why I said barring crashes, and I don't particularly want to hope for crashes for a competitive GC tbh.

 

[woodburn]

Van der Poel down 22 seconds. Going to be super close.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

The big question at this rate is whether Pogacar will win this Tour by more or less than 10 minutes.

That's assuming his increased TT ability, has not come at the price of climbing ability
