Since the driver I liked in the sixth stage had a good performance, this one would be very subjective and full of bits and pieces.
Effineple is my second favorite driver besides Pogacha. And compared to the past, this year he has a good performance in Liège, San Sebastian Classic, Tour de Norway, the ability to read the game is much better than in the past, this year the Tour de La Ciudad is very much hoping to see him have good results.
However, I pinned my hopes on him to compete for the championship and the top five in the itt stage, I didn't expect the happiness to come so early, and I actually saw Xiao Ai's excellent performance in the sixth stage, Xiao Ai became the first owner of the top 00 grand tour overall result collar shirt after the first 00 after the five classical championships.
The alpine stage + rain battle made me sigh, it is really a good match for Pogacha, but if there is such a stage in the Tour de France this year, it may be a different result. Unfortunately there is nothing if. However, on such a rainy day that suits Bobo, the two children I liked, Xiao Ai and Ayuso, brought different surprises.
The quick pace of this stage showed that he had an intention, and many riders, including Alafido, led the riding control field in front of them. Nine kilometers before the finish line, Adam Yates launched a wave of attack, but was chased back by others. Shortly after Yates's attack, Effinepur moved, a wave of acceleration, at first including Roglic, Adam Yates and other 7 total lead drivers can keep up, but as Ai Jr. continues to exert strength, eventually the other drivers have fallen behind, only Mas followed to the end.
After that, Xiao Ai led the ride all the way, Mas followed Xiao Ai all the way, and xiao Ai led the ride all the way before the finish line to accelerate again, pulling Mas away for a second. In the end, Effinepur crossed the line 15 seconds behind the single-flying Victor Vain, finished second in the stage, and successfully put on the overall collar shirt, while pulling the main competitors Roglic and others 1 minute and 30 seconds away.
After talking about Xiao Ai, let's take a look at Ayusso, 19 years old, the youngest driver in this year's Tour de Circus and a future star of hope in Spain. In this year's Tour de Catalonia, Ayuso and Almeida staged a wave of UAEA infighting, and Ayuso attacked almeida, the main player in the collar shirt, causing the latter to eventually lose the promising championship, which is really outrageous. Unexpectedly, Huanxi, the UAE put the two young and vigorous together, which is really a cheating lineup.
After Effinepur and Mas attacked and walked away, Ayusso flew out of the main car group, although he failed to catch up with the two in front, but successfully opened the gap with the other drivers in the main car group, finishing fourth in the stage, and the total result came to fifth, more than 40 seconds ahead of his teammate Almeida.
Hopefully, in the next race, Ai and Ayuso will be able to hold on and continue to have better performances, especially in the high altitude stage and the third week.

Some trivia:
The whole article only used one sentence to take the champion Ofe of this stage, then let's take a look at the cross-line photo of Wayne, yes you read it correctly, it is this one. When Wine crossed the line, due to the wind and rain and fog, the live signal in front of the finish line could not see anything clearly, and it was really the most unseen stage champion, and the sponsors were going to cry.
Put a photo of Wawn's attack, there is really no cross-line photo, not only is there no photo of crossing the line, but even the photo of the award is a residual photo.
Another tidbit:
Pogacha is also watching his teammates' matches, not knowing that he saw this scene and did not think of himself in the eighth stage of the 2021 Tour de France.
