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

[Bonimenier]

Pogacar already doing work himself

 

[Libertine Seguros]

The real problem is he seems to be getting worse.

Yes, but is that because he's going too deep trying to stay in contention when he really shouldn't, and could he therefore recover when given the freedom to drop some time and ride back into form, or is it just exacerbating the injury and he needs a break?

 

[Googolplex]

Pogi only has Formolo and Costa in the group, if I'm not mistaken.

I think Mcnulty also.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pierre Latours dream of that 15th place finish is tragically fading, His team would help but the director had them on the front yesterday as punishment.

 

[glassmoon]

Pogi effectively alone already

 

[SafeBet]

Pog already closing down Ineos moves 115 km from the finish?

 

[Billie]

Pogi only has Formolo and Costa in the group, if I'm not mistaken.

There was another guy wearing a black jacket on earlier images

He looks more like McNutty than Majka.

 

[Red Rick]

TDE paying for yesterdays effort

You love to see it.

Pogacar has succesfully isolated the white jersey

 

[titan31]

Really hope Roglic abandons. This is just sad. Try and get healthy for the Olympics, and if not that, the Vuelta and Lombardia. There's enough races that suit him left this year that he just needs to go and target them.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Total Energie trying to sandbag with Latour dropping out the back, but I doubt other teams will be fooled by this strategy, given that they showed their GC ambitions yesterday.

UAE has 4 riders. Pogi, Formolo, Rui Costa and McNulty.

Porte is trying really hard to escape.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Shaping up to be another crazy stage

 

[T-Nielsen]

UAE has 4 riders. Pogi, Formolo, Rui Costa and McNulty.

Porte is trying really hard to escape.

Foolish to try that before the sprint.

 

[SafeBet]

How many Ineos riders in the front group?

 

[pink_jersey]

How many Ineos riders in the front group?

At least Carapaz, Porte, Tao and Kwiatko.

 

[Tim Cahill]

This will be to the Olympics what Tirreno was to the classics season.

It just randomly became a mad fight to the death and took a bit out of the legs for further ambitions. Get the house on Landani for gold.

 

[Gigs_98]

So basically if a group with Ineos and Movistar riders manages to sneak away now Pogacar is f*cked?

 

[Netserk]

Matthews and BikeExhange all in for green.

 

[Volderke]

Lopez out. Ineos giggling.

 

[perico]

Jeez MAL and wet descents

 

[Netserk]

Super bad timing for a mechanical? for Lopez.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Shaping up to be another crazy stage

Good rouleur stages and an ITT early to mean there are deficits to make up + a favourite who doesn't have a huge collection of superdomestiques + limited number of MTFs = better recipe for the start.

 

[Krokro]

MAL and wet descents do not fit very well together....... ffs it's unreal

 

[glassmoon]

MAL surely gets penalised
