UAE Tour 2021 highlights: Panic in the peloton on Stage 7!

This was a hugely eventful Stage 7 of the UAE Tour to round off the 2021 edition of the race!

A split in the bunch almost saw a repeat of the echelon chaos that made Stage 1 so entertaining, before a crash involving GC contender Adam Yates produced another twist.

The day climaxed with the expected bunch sprint finish, as Caleb Ewan and Sam Bennett went head-to-head on the final stage. This is one not to miss!

Mørkøv decided to keep pedalling to the line this time. I wonder how many top results he could have achieved in his career if he hadn’t sacrificed himself for other riders in hundreds of sprints.

Interesting how whole race took almost exactly 24hrs.

Tadej Pogacar! That kid has a lot more awards to win! He's just starting.

[jaykoo]

Must be some headwinds, Ewan start sprinting a little bit late.

might as well put a picture of the stage winner as the thumbnail and his name in the title if we are going to commentate the final sprint like this again.

1:13, moment of the face plant. Terrible, literally right on his chin.. Grieipel still in the fight at 6th. What longevity

[franciss]

The lotto train always lose it in the final kilometre, I sure hope they get it sorted because Ewan deserves a better leadout.

i must have missed it, but how did yates go from being 45 seconds down yesterday to only 35 seconds down today? is it a typo?

1:26 Who are these two guys ? Bernal ?

[peterschiller]

A tour without mountains is just ridiculous. Hundrets of km flat and at the end the best sprinter wins.

[evildr.foucci]

Told yall Tadej Pogačar was going to 🏆

If this were soccer they'd be on the floor flopping around the entire race :)

[franciacsaba]

Rider in blue drops sth at 0:55 and in replay at 1:11, and that caused the crash! Just have a look on the wheels of the riders behind!

[beanfaded]

i believe had not been for covid protocols, van der poel would've bagged this

The commentary is completely uninspired. Dear commentator, if you don't like cycling and the race doesn't interest you at all, just find something else to do. This is horrible for everybody and it's been going on for far too long.

[leektah]

The most boring Tour on the UCI schedule every year.

[DanielSong]

I didn't like that the peloton waited for Adam Yates
I know that pro cycling is fixed but I prefer it if I can maintain plausible deniability while watching. Moments like that make that impossible

[dinoproductions]

Poor commentating again. Some of us want to know the winner at the line not 300 meters before. D grade commentating again.

0:05+ At least 3 riders jumped the starting flag, not practical to restart race like in Olympics, they should have been instantly DISQUALIFIED :(
