Tour de France Tour de France 2021, Stage 7: Vierzon – Le Creusot, 249.1 km

[titan31]

Hopefully ASO looks at this and goes "you know what, 249km medium mountain stages are a good thing", like in 2011 when one good stage led to a decade of anaemic mountain stages. There aren't too many massive mountain stages here so you have to make stages like this count.

Hopefully they look at this go and maybe let's change something on sprint stages so we can have a GC battle.

Roglic should've just attacked before the ITT guys

 

[limak_]

Have they already decided it's pointless to wait for Rogla?

 

[JosefK]

Ouch. Rogla's Tour bid might be over.

It was over after stage 3.

 

[woodburn]

Too much work by Nibali, and the Vans, it seems. Peleton probably going to cut gap inside three minutes by end of day.

 

[Netserk]

Good gap for Carapaz, who pulls the bunch?!

 

[glassmoon]

Just please don't you dare to sit on that top tube, Richard.

TDE ride on the front =idiots
Ineos come to the front=smart riding
Latour attacks=lol
Carapaz attacks=Hatch orgasm

Well, yes. Because Carapaz actually has a (however remote) chance of winning.

LaTour's attack was pretty feable in comparison to Carapaz though

 

[Red Rick]

I can perfectly understand why the ASO never designs stages like this

The broadcast director is *** atrocious

 

[burning]

Carapaz is probably the only one that can remotely challenge Pogacar, and he has the team to do it too.

 

[Carols]

Rogla just peaked too soon this year again...

I think it's the 2 nasty crashes.

 

[woodburn]

Uran crashed?

Edit: Looks like Powless was run off road into trees.

 

[Leinster]

Mohoric was only 4.51 behind Pog this morning. So it's still 2 Slovenians.

 

[jarvo]

Powless

 

[Netserk]

One Movistar rider pulling the bunch with Ineos sitting just behind him.

It's really quite impossible to understand what the *** is going on without checking PCS or race center or something.

 

[perico]

Uran crashed?

Powless

Where the hell is Stuyven

 

[Leinster]

Uran crashed?

Powless just checking if Lachy was sleeping in that hedge.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Carapaz, gotta love the guy.

 

[Eclipse]

Mohoric was only 4.51 behind Pog this morning. So it's still 2 Slovenians.

Mohoric is on Bahrain too so I'd expect him to torch the field this weekend

Come on gimme a Richie time check please

 

[Breezy1985]

Well, yes. Because Carapaz actually has a (however remote) chance of winning.

You know full well that's not why though

 

[Pricey_sky]

Asgreen currently taking nearly 50s on the VDP group if the tracker is correct.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Carapaz has 40s
