Men's Road Cycling UCI World Tour 2021 (Tour de France)

[Agger 1,664]

There'll be more open terrain later.

[Grassmarket 3,533]

More likely to be a breakaway day than a sprint. Not many sprint teams left & they want to save energy for the mountains.

There's only Cavendish that can sprint. So DQT won't get any help at all

 

Until Movistar or Total Direct do something silly again

Think that’s right: apart from the 4-5 GC teams, the rest now see getting their best rouleur into the break as their best chance if a win.

Breakaway is breaking up, attacking each other with 40k to go. Definite win for the break with a 13 min lead.

Nice win for Politt, after 5305 attacks which basically had no chance in the past years, he finally got his second pro win and first real big one  

[Grassmarket 3,533]

Looks like we are heading for a sprint today, only three in the break & not being given a silly time gap.  No sign of any dangerous winds.

[heywoodu 15,253]

Roger Kluge is out after a crash with quite a lot of riders involved. SKA, among others, fell down over the edge, although it seems that everyone either didn't fall far or was able to climb back (with injuries here and there, Simon Yates seems to be a victim of always being in the back of the peloton today...)
