Tour de France 2021! (spoilers)

I’m just gonna repeat what I said yesterday…JV needs to pull Rog from the race. He is 10k behind the peloton already.

Ineos should do the same with Thomas. No point keeping those guys in the race.

Well, already 13 minutes down and the 3 big mountains still to go… looks it will sort itself out in regards of leaving the race

Yeah, that is probably a fair point. Will depend if he can hang with the groupetto, I guess.

Trying to figure out the potential podium now….Rog, Carapaz have my top 2 slots. 3rd step is anyone’s guess now. If JA hadn’t burned so many matches earlier this week, it could have been him potentially. But doing all that work for Cav may have ruined that. We’ll see.

Glad the stuck truck is free. Good to see the Orica Greenedge team bus driver is still happily employed though.

That Bowflex stationary bike commercial (on the vanilla NBCSN feed) should come with a trigger warning.

Vingegaard went down off-camera apparently. Torn jersey, etc…but back in main pack.

J-V’s Tour just keeps getting worse. Maybe WvA can get the jersey tonight so they can salvage something.

VdP just dropped. Looks like this is indeed his final day in yellow.

MVP finally pops…great week of riding but this was inevitable.

Not gonna lie, for a second I thought he actually might defend it another day. Absolutely incredible Tour by him.

Now Wout pops…along with Uran.

Pog looks set to take the jersey tonight now.

ETA - Uran caught back on. We’ll see how long he can hang now.

And now the inevitable. Curious he goes on the second last climb.

Carapaz popping now, at least relative to Pog.

Ike I said the other day, the best defense is a good offense. He is attacking to eliminate any threats today as he was getting isolated.

30k out is a long way, though….but based on what we have seen, no one can touch him.

Hmm seems on the edge whether or not Pog will catch Woods. he gap seems pretty constant at the moment, but Pog might take it up a notch once more.

the vuelta hat trick for Rog

Would be nice if WvA managed to take yellow from MvP today. Cutting it close though.
