Tour de France Tour de France 2021, Stage 8: Oyonnax – Le Grand-Bornand, 150.8 km

[JosefK]

Poels channeling his inner Padun.

 

[Netserk]

Cattaneo only survivor of the chase group?

 

[perico]

Down goes Geraint

 

[luckyboy]

Well if Thomas isn't good then nobody is going to beat Pogacar on the road.

 

[saganftw]

horrible weather for thomas, not just for his injury but also his slippery hands

 

[Netserk]

What I wouldn't give for Bérentin/Cuvéry directly after this descent ...

 

[DanielSong39]

Is G going to abandon?

 

[DanielSong39]

Froome was dropped on a climb before Cavendish.

Froome is 3 minutes behind Cavendish in GC, not that big a surprise

 

[Netserk]

Mohoric the pac-man eating up the chase group.

 

[Breezy1985]

Is G going to abandon?

Abandon with an "issue" and go for the next GT it's the Ineos way. They can never just be on bad form there has to be an excuse

Mike Woods Dan Martin spider man meme

Froome is 3 minutes behind Cavendish in GC, not that big a surprise

It really is 2011 again and Froome is back to his old form just like Cavendish

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Woods already off the road.

 

[Netserk]

Everything should come back together pretty soon after they are on the flat.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Difficult conditions, but reminds me of how frustrating it was that that altered the Fedaia - FEDAIAAAA - stage of the Giro, when it was a high mountain stage with rain

 

[Pricey_sky]

Well, watching him having his dislocated shoulder back in on the side of the road indicates a fair excuse doesn’t it?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Questionable from UAE, nuke your best climber chasing Kuss and Poels etc, just let that one go I think.

 

[SafeBet]

UAE already burning Formolo to close down these moves.

 

[Netserk]

Small splits in the peloton.

 

[RedheadDane]

Danish commentators pointing out that Henao did not attend the "DSM School of Jacket Removal", having managed to both put a vest on, and take if off during the descend.

 

[Eclipse]

Poels with a masterclass on how to waste your watts lol

 

[perico]

#FreeSepKuss or something.

 

[Netserk]

Colbrelli near the front, ready to go for the intermediate.

 

[Rollthedice]

Thomas dropped?

 

[bigcog]

I wonder if Froome will make the cut off today. Not exactly surprising he's struggling given his prior form and crash.
