2012 Tour de France: Stage 13: Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux → Le Cap d'Agde (217 km)

[vcampbell]

Boasson V Sagan - anyone else?

None of them, too easy for Wiggins.

 

[For The World]

Let it never be said that Cadel didn't give it all he had to at least animate the race.

Sagan for the stage win though.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

After that 10% monster we only have 23 km to go... Nice for attackers. Not

There'll be crosswinds all the way to the finish.

 

[meat puppet]

So, that's Rogers driving it?

 

[Finn84]

About 35 in MJ group

Yeah its beyond pointless indeed.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Vino in the front group!!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Turns out the stage probably wasn't that bad designed after all. Gives the puncheurs and the good climbing sprinters a chance to get away from the heavier ones.

Let it never be said that Cadel didn't give it all he had to at least animate the race.

Sagan for the stage win though.

If that was all he got, he has a serious problem. They didn't even drop Sagan among others. It was a mild distraction, but now we get easy riding to the finish.

 

[Arnout]

Poor Cav will be ridden out of contention by Sky.

As usual the hill is way too far from the end.

Evans didn't give the impression of going all-out.

Weird and dangerous road now. Pointless road designers wanting to make sure cars don't overtake but crash into solid pylons instead.

 

[Bala Verde]

There'll be crosswinds all the way to the finish.

So what. Most people in the first cross winds sat up. In a small group, after the selection on the hill, it's even more difficult to surprise someone by forming echelons, and then, who will drive the echelon for a GC contender, after most of their helpers have been shed on the climb proper.

Evans and vdb2 are driving up the pace on the front to catch wiggins by surprise? Haha, no.

I don't see it.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Thank you Cuddles for animating that hill, stage is not as dull as I expected.

You must have been expecting something really mind numbing, then.

 

[metaCYCLE]

VINO's back!!!

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Goggogogogogoggogogooooo!!!!!!!

[Montanus]

Greipel connects to front group!

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

[Bala Verde]

Have to commend ASO for the beautiful scenery once again though.

I'd like to vacation there now

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

VIno gogogogoggogo!!!!!!

And then some. I don't have high expectations anymore.
