Catch up with the best of the action from stage eight of the 2021 AJ Bell Tour of Britain, held between Stonehaven and Aberdeen, on Sunday 12 September.
It would have been a lot more time had Hayter’s teammate not crashed 700m from finish line on stage 5. Had the peloton not been stopped WVA would have crushed another bunch sprint, winning and adding more time to his lead.
I wonder if Cavendish wasn't fully fit, or if the hills wore him out, because he was never outi-sprinted like that in the Tour -- even Greipel had the edge on him here.
Yeah Cav needs to rest and go again next year. It’s been a great step to recovery this year. Hope the EB doesn’t return and he can beat the record next year.
@@spaketticarbonada9651 Or that cav just isn't near the level of WvA. Don't forget that he also beat cav on the champs elesys, a weak sprinting field at the tour made him look a lot stronger.
I thought Cav was finally going to get his stage win, but it seemed he just didn't have the gas. Congrats to Wout though! Fantastic victory. And great to see such good sized crowds at this race.
Side note: Ned Boulting is emphatically far and away the best English language commentator, with brass knobs on - times a million! David Millar is a great foil to him
Mvp used to be tiny bit better than wva. But wva stayed w his program. Worked and trained. Now they are equal it seems, and perhaps wva better Alaphillipe often cheats in sprints. Here when peeling off he had a chance to impede wva. And Alaphillipe did not do so. Way to go, for once, Alaphillipe Cavendish not close in speed. It is beginning to look like C great tour was not based much on talent but on great team support and placement of C, and lack of good sprinter competition. W sprinters there 2022, C may have no more tour stage wins That appears most likely scenario Wva superb again
Man Wout is just a superb all round boss. He can climb, tt, sprint, cx. Poor cavendish just missing out a few times. But the unlucky award goes to Ethan Hayter
Iv'e cycled/walked up the Cairn O Mount many a time, i never once made it to the top without having to walk. It is brutal & these guys made it look flat, lol.
Cav was born for the Tour de France which is his natural environment, his natural habitat..:) He's still got at least 3 more TdF's in his legs, so he should be able to get at least one more stage win in his career to beat Merckx and become the greatest TdF stage winner of all time..:)
Hayter let down massively by IGD, it was their's too loose. Why at 3km to go didn't they lead out with a full train at a huge pace closing down the sprint... not one of their riders put themselves to the sword for Hayter in this stage. Painful to watch.

One of the greatest overall cyclist of our time Van Aert
@It's still all quiet Today lol what?
Congrats to my boy Wout for dominating this Tour! Jumbo Visma!💥💥💥
He's a great rider and did really well but I wouldn't call a win by just a few seconds a dominating performance personally
@@localzeros he won four stages...that was my dominant reference. With most of the REAL Jumbo Visma guys not even there. 🤭

@@markfisher4574 Completely true ! ... and Wout also lost about 15 sec during team time trial (bike problems Eenkhoorn)
Wout casually outsprinted Cav.
Do you think the guy is full natty? I mean he makes it look too easy.
I wonder if Cavendish wasn't fully fit, or if the hills wore him out, because he was never outi-sprinted like that in the Tour -- even Greipel had the edge on him here.
@@spaketticarbonada9651 full natty, brah!

Great tour and coverage.
They ruined it at the last for me: I think that final shot of the coast is Donald Trump's golf course :/
@@MickyD851 Nah- that's Balgownie.
Great that it all came down to a sprint finish. This is an actual race.
Great to see we had a bike race this year,hopefully next year will be even better!
Love the smile from Cav at the end after Wout raised his arms haha
Was not so happy in Paris !
Wout - untouchable!

wout, there it is
Brilliant tour of Britain. Good on the hundreds of thousands that turned out see it. It's really becoming a prestigious event.
So fast edition!
Chapeau, Wout! Great sprint.
The final section of the Cairn 'O Mount climb( fae the South) is a killer, but the descent is just awesome.
La bestia Van Aert!

Bad luck for Andre Greipel again...so close and so far away. Oh well. Ethan is in the leadership I guess with two stages and now second place ?.
Kudos Wout

Wva superb again
I wish all these highlights were AT LEAST 30 mins!
What an athlete!!!
They said Mvdp > Wva
But WVA proved them he was top 2 on the best road cyclist
What can’t Wout Van Aert do?! What a rider.
What a race... Chapeau, Wout Van Aert!
Man Wout is just a superb all round boss. He can climb, tt, sprint, cx. Poor cavendish just missing out a few times. But the unlucky award goes to Ethan Hayter
Ethan is on the way up though. Not long before he’ll win
Dats what I'm talkin' aWout!
lovely Scotland

wow wow wout
WOW!!!
Congratulations to Wout.The new world champion? Maybe Remco. Maybe Wout. Coz I'm French, I 'll hope Julian win a second time
You left Rohan Dennis (Aus) off your GC final standings list - he finished 6th!!
mark cavendish casually smiling when wout van aert hit the line first taking the overall win

Where is Richie Portie ?
Damn your eyes!
Feel sorry for Greipel - wudda been a nice win to end his career but WVA clearly isn't sentimental!
If ethan was able to keep up with the pace he couldve kept wout boxed in... wout is just too strong
Beating top pure sprinters in a bunch sprint..crazy
chopper noise is synonymous with cycling to me
Why this race not get coverage it deserves?
Fuck yeah Wout!
Hayter let down massively by IGD, it was their's too loose. Why at 3km to go didn't they lead out with a full train at a huge pace closing down the sprint... not one of their riders put themselves to the sword for Hayter in this stage. Painful to watch.
What happen Cav.
LIKE WATCHING PAINT DRY
Can you guys take out the damn helicopter’s noise?
they feel they need to remind everyone that its been filmed from a helicopter :-)
it is the noise of cycling. You just can't remoove this noise without removing the atmosphere of a race.
I've heard in some races they use drones to film but they still add the helicopter noise for the atmosphere
Alaphilippe’s lead out was a bit poor, seemed to hold Cav up more than anything. Great race though and well don Wout.
Soooo nice seeing people enjoy sporting events maskless. The msm told me we would all be dead from Wu Flew...huh...i guess they were wrong 🤣
@@RobertTarmac haha...true! Im sure Fauxchee is really flustered 🤭
Most of the UK is vaccinated, pretty safe methinks.
You should publish your findings in JAMA or maybe even Nature: "Spectators observed maskless, proving COVID19 is a fraud." .
Go spread your uninformed nonsense elsewhere.
Nice one Adam. Some real Dum comments above 👌
