I say Mohoric will try again. We shall see who makes it into the breakaway. Then we can narrow it down a bit.

It would have been nice if they had let the stage start at the top. H
Pog is riding aggressive today 
Neutralising every attack for some reason
Eurosport fr talking heads say Pog might be having a bad day

Thatâs on the riderâs union per CN. Iâm glad to see them working together like they have this Tour even if itâs baby steps.
Colbrelli has a legitimate shot at winning this stage. Wild. What a strange day in the TdF.
Anyone else catch the commentators calling it the âPhillip Gilbert bridgeâ on that sketchy corner?

Not bad. Bora-Hansgrohe catches two wins from the breakaway.

Bora has to be feeling pretty good that Peter is headed to a new team given the results this tour. Two stage wins is a great result for them.

We just watched the worst stage of tdf 2021. Itâs ok, on the whole It has been entertaining. Ready for back to back solid stages.H
Some predictions:
- Cav doesnât make the time cut.
- Pog will be in some sort of trouble
- Some of these guys will try some crazy attacks and the Gran Colombia alliance will be broken.
Rooting for Nairo to win the KOM jersey and Rigo to keep 2nd or move to 1st if the unthinkable happens. Also hoping Chaves and Lopez show a little something in the climbs after a disastrous showing so far.
Cheers
Iâll put an asterisk on this.
Cav wonât make the timecut as specified on the start of the stage, but the grupetto will be large enough to force the race officials to extend the time cutoff by 10 minutes to avoid chopping the rest of the riders.

Yeah I believe in Cav, he will make it 
And I don´t think Pog will get into trouble. Quite the opposite. He had a few easy days now. And everybody keeps saying how extraordinary his ability to recover is. He will be as fresh as a fawn tomorrow.
Obviously Ineos is gonna do everything they can to get Carapaz on the podium, but I think Pog will not be able to help himself and will just counterattack and put even more time into everybody.
Pog will put time into all his GC rivals on both stage 17 and 18.
Convince me Iâm wrong!!!
(Too lazy to make the meme)
Youâre wrong! The other GC teams will stop protecting the standings for him, and make UAE defend attacks.
Uran goes, everyone else makes UAE bring him back. Then Carapaz goes as soon as they do. Then OâConnor. SIMPLE!
(this will not happen).

To be fair to Ineos, they used to actually have to do that. 
Maybe itâs all they know. They didnât get the memo.
