Tour de France Tour de France 2021, Stage 9: Cluses – Tignes, 144.9 km

[Logic-is-your-friend]

McNulty is a big fan of the no-look pass. He tried to incorporate the idea into cycling, trying to get the other cyclists to ride where he was looking.

 

[staubsauger]

At least he landed in the grass

It looked as if he fell on purpose there eventually, because it would've happened anyway. So of course it's better to tip over on the grass kinda controlled than to truly crash and hurt yourself.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Does anyone know how far behind Van Aert is?

He said before the start that clinging on for GC didn't make any sense.

 

[Netserk]

O'Connor looking like he will bridge the gap, so he will have a solid advantage over the podium contenders at the finish.

What about the sprinters? Anyone else in danger of DNF/OTL?

24 minutes back on the Roselend.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Vingegaard looked to have some sort of issue, commentators said puncture

 

[Netserk]

What about the sprinters? Anyone else in danger of DNF/OTL?

The Cav group can afford to lose an additional ~20', I think.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Both Colombians should limit their pulls, there's no threat behind and O'Connor is riding for GC and looks very strong.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

What about the sprinters? Anyone else in danger of DNF/OTL?

Démare is with Guarnieri and Nic Dlamini at 27 minutes, so they could be in great danger.

 

[Googolplex]

The Cav group can afford to lose an additional ~20', I think.

More like 15. Demare is behind Cav group.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Good thing Vingegaard has Sepp Kuss to help him.

F***ing useless.

 

[BlueRoads]

O, O'Connor is back? What happened, deal between the DSs?

 

[Netserk]

Vingegaard looked to have some sort of issue, commentators said puncture

Now back again. Not much help from his teammates.

 

[Netserk]

O, O'Connor is back? What happened, deal between the DSs?

Many cars and motorbikes between them when he was gapped, it helps.

 

[perico]

Only UAE and Ineos have the numbers to chase him down if they want to. Everyone else is down to 1 or 2 helpers left at most.

 

[Salvarani]

Yeah, Im not arguing that...

Grass is probably smoother to land on than the road. Kind of why I said it.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

no, Nairo! Cracked.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Nairoman continues to surprise!

 

[perico]

Nairo looks cooked

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Quintana paying the price for not dressing for the weather?

 

[luckyboy]

O'Connor will be wasting his time if he is planning on riding on the front for the whole climb. He will end up without yellow or the stage.

 

[Salvarani]

Quintana drops immediately in the last climb.

 

[Netserk]

Uff, will Quintana still manage 3rd with the KOM points that entails?

 

[staubsauger]

Quintana hors de combat, did not see that coming!

 

[Billie]

Quintana paying the price for not dressing for the weather?

It's paying the price for competing for the KoM points on every climb. He already did a huge effort to chase down Poels on Saisies.
