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

[Eclipse]

Nairoman dropped

what the =/

must be ill, that's very sad

 

[Leinster]

Cav out the back of the peloton.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

They're going really strong behind now...

 

[Netserk]

I haven't seen Roglic all day. How far back does he sit?

Okay, the heli showed him with two other teammates at the KOM banner, an additional teammate further ahead.

 

[Breezy1985]

Nairoman dropped

Are you sure. I thought I saw him in the heli shots

 

[Pulpstar]

Yep just Majka and Poggers for UAE !

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Massively scaled down from L'Aquila in terms of the break, but similar in terms of the guys up front now winding up with almost as many domestiques remaining as those in the bunch.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Hahaha the guy from Total Energie Direct just realized that he's basically towing the whole Peleton on his own with his last teammate having disappeared and goes hecticly to his radio on what to do. Hope that support for UAE was worth the big bucks burning through all their riders.

Direct Energie working hard to be everyone's least favourite team

Any publicity is good publicity.

 

[Breezy1985]

Yep Nairo gone. Love that new 3D map graphic too

 

[Eclipse]

Maintain that must be illness given how sharp he was on the punchy stuff to start the race.

 

[Leinster]

Needed that on that Giro stage where the cameras couldn't fly.

And unless he's ill, what was the point in making the effort to put in a solid TT to stay within 3 minutes on GC, and then sit up and lose time on a day like today?

 

[Netserk]

Maintain that must be illness given how sharp he was on the punchy stuff to start the race.

Or shipping time to win stages.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

I don't like the chances of the leaders if Meurisse can peg them back by himself.

 

[Googolplex]

Needed that on that Giro stage where the cameras couldn't fly.

I guess the signal goes in the same way as from camera motorbikes. So no help.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Yeah I fear for the trio in front when VA and VdP start their epic battle...

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Any publicity is good publicity.

Weren't they the team that was wiped out completely, like, every single rider, in the Formigal controversy?

 

[Netserk]

Teunissen should still get over the top before the peloton and assist Roglic there.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Have to look on the bright side if you're UAE, at least Bjerg bagged himself a scrappy 11th in that TT the other day.

 

[Eclipse]

Or shipping time to win stages.

Maybe but it wasn't like he soft pedalled the TT or anything. I dunno we'll see, hopefully he goes well this weekend if it is just stage hunting.

A decent final effort from AF to bring it back to something more bridgeable

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

So... I've been painting the toilets at work today and just listening to the commentary on and off .... is this a Jumbo super move which could give Van Aert a five minute advantage and be a serious GC contender?

 

[Netserk]

Meurisse done, Cort goes!

 

[Leinster]

Konrad wants to spoil the party here?

 

[titan31]

Theres a bunch of Arkea in that group so either Quintana got back or he's losing time on purpose
