Proper stuff of dreams, this - it’s such a great story. Though today was proper goal-hanging, he only had to turn the pedals 14 times after Mørkøw peeled off!

yeah damn that was some cool handlingto paraphrase what the kids all say, i am loving this for Cavand tbh i am enjoying more bc of THIS cav that we get! humbled, smiling, but genuinely appreciative. he has lost the caged animal quality where it seemed like he was always needing to aggressively prove himself here now fully swaddled in a team he clearly trusts & who perform for each other AND himin the interview he didnt even really take the win for himself, instead namechecking the accomplishments of everyone who got him thereits cool to see it at this stage in his career after everything

I know what, guys, let’s make them climb the deadly mountain, twice.
Wondering about staying up for it but I also have an 8:15 meeting across town.

I like how the setup is (now) 'watch Cavendish aim for all the points and then mysteriously disappear'

Does anyone have a link to the expected timings for today's stage? Thinking of scheduling my afternoon around watching some of it live for once but not sure when will be best.
― toby, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 09:38 (two years ago) link
Wild stage today for sure. van Aert seems like he can do lots of things damn well individually — once he stitches it all together look out GC.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 8 July 2021 04:12 (two years ago) link
Wouty! I love this kid <3Bummed that Julian went out when he did but he hit SO hard from the start, I dont know how he could have kept that level sustained

Nils Politt is a goddamn legendWhat ride, what a finish. Love it. His interview was really lovely & heartfelt too.

Yeah, good day for the main folks to ease back and have this happen instead. A good finish!
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 9 July 2021 03:54 (two years ago) link
The lad did it, 35 seems a bit unlikely but at start of the tour I’d have said the same about him winning any stages.
― Dan Worsley, Friday, 9 July 2021 17:20 (two years ago) link
There’s still two more sprint stages, one seems like it could go to a big break like yesterday, it’s the day after the Pyrenees, but the other one is Paris, and I can’t see how anyone else beats him there, if he gets there.
― American Fear of Scampos (Ed), Friday, 9 July 2021 21:02 (two years ago) link
Yeah I mean if you’re going to take the actual record, Paris with a flourish would be pretty great. I’ll bet he does it, one way or another.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 10 July 2021 00:59 (two years ago) link
I think I can predict two things with absolute certainty.
No commissaires will see Cav hanging off a car in the Pyrenees.
Bike Exchange will complain about Cav hanging off the cars in the Pyrenees.

i skipped forward a couple hours early on bc it got kinda boring and then💥😰! i felt bad for wishing excitement on them, that crash looked so badbut that finish! WOO! Cav & those Quickstep leadout lads are pretty special
