Tour De France 2021 with spoilers

[StuAff]

GC may or may not be done but still plenty of interest. Don't see Pog getting from the field like Merckx in 1969...other jerseys still very much up for grabs.

To be clear, I was being ironic. Ain't over 'til the fat lady sings... or summat. Pogocar could crack, crash... or another word beginning 'cr'... crap himself??

I know I say it every year, but please ITV, get rid of David Millar, the bloke is a proper nobber

What did he say? A bit repetitive but occasional insight.

He has never cracked & never will. If he crashed he’d get back on & catch up. He’s invincible.

OK. It's over then

Not so clever on the flat in the crosswind last year.

Ah ha! Crosswind! Another thing beginning with Cr...

Millar & the entire ITV team do a fine job. Memories of the deadly duo are still painful, OTOH ...

Seafood allergy? Can't eat CRustaceans?

You've identified the critical issues. They are crucial.

Pogocar does seem to have it sewn up already but as I watched today I couldn`t help but feel weather conditions, breakdown, maybe even outside forces ( stupid roadside fans) could still have a say. It`s never over `til ......

And the thing is, unlike some one-stage wonders and time-trial muggings, it would be difficult to begrudge him the GC win based on his first week performance including today.

Bit of a shame no other GC contenders are within 4 minutes, unless Van Aert has become one overnight.

I agree. I compare ITV4 to Eurosport. Generally ITV know why x situation is happening in the race Eurosport not only question ‘why is x happening?’ they sometimes completely miss it has happened in the first place.
(I appreciate not easy and both make mistakes but ITV more insightful from what I have seen).

Nothing in particular today, it's just his general demeanour. Also doesn't help that he keeps getting the rider identification wrong all the time and is constantly being corrected by Ned Boulting.
