Tour of Britain 5-12 September 2021

[Norks74]

What do those zig-zaggy markings on the roads in Britain mean? I've never understood that...

Otherwise there have been some sheep, cow, and haystack sightings since I've tuned in, lots of green on both sides of the road... I like this stage so far.

You find them outside of schools...no parking

It's starting to get obvious Ethan is no fan of Wout van Aert.

He's a Hayter.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Jesus christ how strong is Rodriguez

 

[roundabout]

Rogriguez continues to confirm that he may become really good

Hayters gonna Hayter...

Anyway, looks like a fun, mini-classic finish. Let's see what QS does...

 

[Carols]

It's the Wout and Ala show in progress

 

[roundabout]

But honestly, 2 QS, 2 Movis, 2 ISN sjoud be enough to split the group

 

[glassmoon]

Impressive defense from Ineos youngsters so far...

 

[roundabout]

I wonder of Vaughters will sign Shaw

 

[Red Rick]

How hard is the hill to the finish?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

How hard is the hill to the finish?

It seems to be 2 km at around 3%.

 

[roundabout]

trust Movi to cut the road

 

[roundabout]

please don't ride for the sprint

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

ineos have to let someone from honore down to breakaway to win...van aert should win the sprint

 

[Tim Cahill]

Movistar continue to meet my expectations

 

[roundabout]

200 IQ move from Movistar going for a sprint there

 

[Bolder]

Best reduced bunch sprinter outside of MvDp...so easy.

 

[Carols]

WVA easily! Hayter brave defense . Grand Finale!

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Wout

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

ineos and movistar both being movistar

Shades of Belgium at the 2016 Worlds.

Wout looked like he didn't even have to go full gas to win this one.

 

[Bonimenier]

Juice Van Aert

Wrong subforum

 

[Red Rick]

Alaphilippe is what 1/5000 for sprints this year?
