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

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Looking forward to seeing if OPQS have learnt, or try to stay locked to the front the entire last 10km and end up needing some Tony heroics after getting swamped by teams who put 6 men on the front with 3 to go.

 

[Netserk]

Noval in form

Be afraid. Very afraid.

 

[the sceptic]

Sky train on the front

Maybe Froome will go for the sprint

 

[Poursuivant]

Serious pace here

 

[Kender]

27% of the peloton were thinking the tour isn't so tough... Until just before

 

[LaFlorecita]

Berto riding the sky train

 

[gustienordic]

I'm finding myself liking the radioshack helmets- they make the kit look much, much better. The bikes help too!

 

[Parrulo]

Surprise surprise, the 3 strongest teams bossing the front of the peloton

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Pointless willy waving.

 

[scholar]

Tour de Bore 2013 starts here?

 

[Broth3r]

Biting my nails here expecting the peloton to break apart - and hopefully leave all the one mile men in the dust.

 

[dgodave]

Funky stone barn!

 

[mr. tibbs]

Pointless willy waving.

Exactly. What the hell are they thinking?

Saxo: Hey look at us! We're riding our bikes on the front!

SKY: NO! LOOK AT US!! WE'RE FASTER!!!

OPQS:

 

[the sceptic]

and the gc riders complain about nervous riding and crashes when its their own fault

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Kash putting the watts down at the front

 

[wirral]

Kirby open mic - doesn't realise.

 

[Broth3r]

I want that boat!

 

[the sceptic]

flying boat. Highlight of the stage so far

 

[TourOfSardinia]

I'm finding myself liking the radioshack helmets- they make the kit look much, much better. The bikes help too!

Not the same without Cancellara's head inside one.

 

[gustienordic]

Please let some hills come

 

[Walkman]

Epic boat!

Another thing to put my list of things I want to get when I get rich!

 

[Broth3r]

Please let some hills come

Hill, narrow streets, cobbles, traffic islands, 180º turns, roundabouts. Hell, ANYTHING, all of those combined if that's what it takes.

Anything that favors attackers and leaves trains stranded is good.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Only 5 OMPQ with Cav

 

[Popchu]

Stage 1 over? Bus crashed in last k...

edit: on the finish line. Big problems

 

[Afrank]

Crash, Hoogerland.

Looks okay though, thankfully.
