The presentation of the seventh stage – The chronicle of the sixth stage – The double by Mark Cavendish – The Briton reaches 50 victories in the grand tours – The report cards of the sixth stage
Hello everyone and welcome to our LIVE LIVE of the seventh stage of the Tour de France 2021. The Vierzon-Le Creusot, di i 249.1 kilometers, it will be a fraction full of pitfalls in five GPM present in the second part of the route. Today all the greatest are called to call finishers and experts in Classics of the group.
After a first part of the stage without altitude difficulties, and which presents only the flying finish line of Saint-Benin-D’Azy, will be addressed five GPM in 90 kilometers: the third category of the Coast of Chateau-Chinon (3.2 km at 5.3%), the fourth category of the Coast of Glux-en-Glenne (2.6 km at 4.6%), the third category of the Coast of the Cross of the Liberation (4.6 km at 5.3%), the feared second category of Signal d’Uchon (5.7 km at 5.7%), and finally the fourth category of the Côte de la Gourloye (2.4 km at 5.3%). The finish is placed at the end of a short descent.
As previously mentioned, finisseurs are expected. For this reason, given the physical condition of both, and what they have shown in the past stages, the very first suspects are the world champion. Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quick Step), the yellow jersey Mathieu Van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix), but also Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma): practically the glorious trio of the latest Classics and short teppe competitions.
Italy, on the other hand, will rely on the national champion Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain Victorius), still looking for a historic success in the tricolor jersey. Another blue that could assert itself is certainly Davide Ballerini (Deceuninck-Quick Step). At the same time, the Slovenian duo formed by Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) e Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) is expected to be compared. Among the various experts of the Classics we also have the eternal Alejandro Valverde (Movistar), Michael Matthews (Team BikeExchange), Michael Woods (Israel Start-Up Nation), but also the three-time world champion Peter Sagan (Bora-hansgrohe).
