Tour de France 2021
#31
Tomorrow sees a wickedly difficult 198.9km stage from Sorgues to Malaucene. Not content with climbing Mont Ventoux once, they then have to go on a 54km loop to do it again, with an even steeper gradient. The last 22km is virtually all downhill, but thankfully the weather forecast seems to be fine and mostly dry, so the accident risk should be low.

Given recent results, I expect Mark Cavendish might try for some intermediate sprint points for a change and that Tadej Pogacar will likely increase his overall lead. Any thoughts of a similar procession for 3rd place can be forgotten, as only 54 seconds cover the current 3rd to 8th positions.

Thursday's and Friday's stages are both flat and surely Cavendish will target one of them (probably Friday after a tough day in the mountains tomorrow) to try to equal Eddie Merckx' all-time record of 34 stage wins.
Cabbage is still good for you
