2013 Tour de France Stage 1: Porto Vecchio -> Bastia, 213km (29/06/13)

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Cavendishs jersey looks good. It just doesn't look very British.

 

[Eshnar]

Ok Es panel not that great. Talking about how this may be the toughest set of Alpes ever

omg

Climbing twice an overhyped moutain = toughest. I can totally understand.

 

[The Hitch]

Switch to ITV4 - no sign of Pinky & Perky yet.

Yeah i am on itv4 atm, just switched to ES during break.

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Bakstedt and Lloyd wasted sat in the Eurosport studio whilst we have to listen to Carlton and some snooker bloke. Hopefully the commentary feed will go down a few times during the next few weeks.

Rumours Froome crashed earlier

 

[Eshnar]

Rumours Froome crashed earlier

no rumours. It was live on TV. He fell before Km 0.

 

[Linkinito]

Rumours Froome crashed earlier

Not a rumor, its a fact. But it was during the virtual start.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Pictures make Corsica look beautiful.

Next year will be grim.

 

[Poursuivant]

Ok thanks.
I thought he had just punctured.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Who is this tool on ITV4 who speaks like he's knowledgable, but then talks total horse**** about Contador winning Green.

 

[Poursuivant]

Matt Rendell?

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

why am I banned from Eurosport streams

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

That's the one.

Terrifying that these people walk among us, who have learnt the basic behaviours necessary to look like a normal person with common sense, but are actually very stupid (or, in this case, incapable of reading the green jersey rules).

 

[Carols]

Lotto being lazy.

Idiot Kirby said in stage races it is Froome 3-0 against Bertie. Guess he missed the Vuelta

 

[Ryaguas]

Well... that would be a GT right?

 

[Poursuivant]

Final sprint looks narrow

 

[Kender]

Well... that would be a GT right?

So GT's aren't stage races now? What did I miss?

 

[Kender]

Final sprint looks narrow

Everyone been saying that. And tight corners. Gonna be carnage

that would be supposed wise man of cycling journos, Matt Rendell. I thought he was a lot smarter than that. Didnt that football interviewer who presents cycling now say Rendell was the cleverest person he ever met.

 

[Kender]

So much on the line (first yellow jersey). The sprint teams might cause a split later with the cross winds that are expected. Could be interesting

Maybe He was refering to week long races as stage races... dont know... I'm not trying to defend the guy but maybe that was what He thought... haha
