Qhubeka NextHash will not hold back on stage 7 of the Tour de France, with UCI Hour Record holder Victor Campenaerts saying that all eight riders in the team will be aiming to get in the break.

Stage 7 of the 2021 Tour de France is the longest in this year’s race, measuring 249.1 kilometers. The hilly terrain between Vierzon and Le Creusot looks ideally suited to a breakaway and, after a clutch of sprint stages and uphill finishes contested by the puncheurs and GC riders, provides the perfect chance for riders like Campenaerts to shine.
