Tour of Denmark 2021 (10th to 14th of August)

[Velolover2]

At least, it looks like the sprinters are denied the victory.

 

[Netserk]

Yeah, seems the peloton stalled again.

 

[Velolover2]

Noo. The peloton is getting close.

 

[Netserk]

Hehe, will they be caught with ~200 m to go?

 

[glassmoon]

Good, good

 

[RedheadDane]

Hehe, will they be caught with ~200 m to go?

Nope. Joyce takes it.

Joy(ce)' about the Rabofail

[Netserk]

Peloton 5'' too slow.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Joyce was my favourite, but Østergaard Kristensen was quite unlucky.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Jumbo... good grief. Great underdog victory for Joyce though.

 

[Faserr]

Nice.

 

[Danskebjerge]

That was surprising. But nice to see unpredictable things happen in bike racing.

 

[RedheadDane]

Joyce was my favourite, but Østergaard Kristensen was quite unlucky.

Do you know what happened? Just... didn't have the power?

Dunno if anyone posted this already, but looks like DQ had an extra DS yesterday:

Terrible riding by the sprinter teams.

All the top sprinters were in the final 20-rider peloton. Groenewegen, Cavendish, Mørkøv, Nizzolo, Pedersen, Bol, De Kleijn and Tiller.

It looked like he had some problem, either with gearing or because he clipped out.

 

[Sciatic]

It looked like he had some problem, either with gearing or because he clipped out.

I’d say definitely a hearing/shifting mechanical: h was really brutalizing his handlebars when he rolled across the line.

Great typo.

 

[Sciatic]

Great typo.

Ha! I seem to be good at those lately!

 

[Velolover2]

Nizzolo won the reduced sprint with Pedersen as a second.

We don't know the outcome if the break had been caught but I wonder if they could have beaten Cavendish/Groenewegen after a hard stage?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Joyce did swerve a bit at the end, but I think Salmon would've had enough space, if he hadn't continued to go right.

 

[Baldinger]

Joyce for cycling fans globally!

 

[Danskebjerge]

Chances of Joyce’s group not getting caught: 1:99.
Chances of Joyce beating the Danes in a sprint: 1:99.
Joyce won.

 

[jmdirt]

WOOHOO! CJ!

Chances of Joyce’s group not getting caught: 1:99.
Chances of Joyce beating the Danes in a sprint: 1:99.
Joyce won.

No way his chance of beating them was only 1:99. He's an alright sprinter with a better palmares than any of the other riders in that break.
