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

[Volderke]

Pog in the front group!

 

[Netserk]

The black UAE rider (McNulty?) is in the break.

 

[perico]

Ineos better chase now

 

[Carols]

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

Yeah one he Caused Himself!

 

[luckyboy]

Eurosport is clueless. Pogacar is in this move and they're not even talking about it...

 

[pink_jersey]

Pogacar in the front group with Van der Poel, Van Aert and Carapaz in the 3rd ))

Awesome stuff

 

[Rollthedice]

Where is Nibali?

Where he needs to be, keeping a close contact with the yellow jersey.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Supermán trying to bridge, after his ride from the team car he's one of the freshest in the group.

 

[Volderke]

I honestly don't get it anymore!

Asgreen in the break with Cattaneo as support, Pogacar in the break, MvdP and WvA NOT in the break and sitting at the back of their group???

 

[JosefK]

Pogi heading for yellow today.

 

[Netserk]

Got to give it to Pogi, he is very attentive without wasting too much energy by being so.

 

[ice&fire]

Can't they stop the attacks? French TV doesn't have cameras for every group and nobody knows what's going on!

 

[ppanther92]

Great racing so far, I have to say.

 

[pink_jersey]

Got to give it to Pogi, he is very attentive without wasting too much energy by being so.

He's by far the best GC rider when it comes to tactics and keeping his calm. It's astonishing given he's also the youngest.

What don't you get? They're racing against each other.

Neither does the tracker, it's saying 149 riders - including Thomas, Roglič and Cavendish - are in the MJ group.

Having legendary legs every day helps

 

[Volderke]

What don't you get? They're racing against each other.

It's more a matter of not being attentive, than of not having the legs, at least at this moment.
WvA was joking and talking to MvdP when Pogacar went. Tactical mishap, seems to get all together again but not very usual for MvdP nor WvA to let Pogacar go.
Also Carapaz was sleeping. If they let Pogacar go this easily, there really is no tension at all anymore.

 

[JosefK]

The Slovenian Merckx is here.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Coming back together

 

[titan31]

Bit carnage today ain't it

 

[Googolplex]

Neither does the tracker, it's saying 149 riders - including Thomas, Roglič and Cavendish - are in the MJ group.

At least the GPS tracking has worked constantly. Though it has some troubles recognising small gaps, and UI is horrible.

Bora and Ineos have closed the gap to the 'break'.

Yes, the problem being that you are much too late with this
