Tour De France 2021 with spoilers

[Shadow]

Team tactics went tits up....not like Movistar

Tactics? Movistar? Not two words usually used in the same sentence....unless describing the total absence of!!

If Lopez hadn't been so utterly useless I might have won the fantasy comp. My DS, Caligula, has ways of dealing with underperforming riders.

Does he make them senators?

This is quite interesting as an insight into how one of the lesser teams approaches the race, and what their objectives are etc

Apparently (last week's GCN News) Podacar stats compared to previous where not that different and what was that his rivals under performed compared to their previous.

I can’t wait for next Summer for Le Tour. I’m hoping a lot less crashes & a more open GC battle.

The tour is my least favourite of the grand tours I think !
Giro....the starter dish when your starving,my favourite.
The Tour...over hyped,too much expectation.
The Vuelta....the desert,relaxed and can be better than expected.
On my hols had a drink and talking shoot 😁

Might be sh1t @Adam4868 but it's sh1t I can agree with. The TdF, for all it's circus like magic (which is, of course, some of its appeal) has often struck me as much a travelling road show than a bike race. That said, I enjoyed this year's way more than previous.

The Giro is my favourite GT.

I think it's a case of enjoying it for what it is.

I quite often enjoy the smaller events of all sorts of sports. My dad is a massive football fan, bit he prefers the fun of the local Sunday league than going watching pro football - though he does have one ear stuck permanently to five live since it started transmission.
