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

[spalco]

Horrible stage.

Anyone know who caused the crash?

 

[luckyboy]

great way to start the 100th Tour

 

[Carols]

Kittel --- what a clusterF^%$

 

[Afrank]

Goss went down in the last bend also apparently.

 

[MatParker117]

WTF were Greenedge thinking?

 

[Cimber]

What's the reasoning for that? Wasn't it outside the 3 km mark?

At the time of the crash the finish line was at km 3 to so at that time it was inside the 3 km limit

 

[the sceptic]

Sir Millar 4th? lol

 

[ILovecycling]

fvcking 100 kg Kittel wins

 

[cineteq]

I was expecting a different German to be in yellow today!

 

[cocteau_ireland]

This'll get more posts post race than during!

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Was that Millar sprinting 4th ?

 

[Afrank]

Horrible stage.

Anyone know who caused the crash?

Looked like a OPQS rider. Will have to watch replay though.

 

[JimPanzen]

Kittel --- what a clusterF^%$

Why? He would have been in the mix anyway.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Germany 1 World Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerooooooooooo

 

[Cimber]

Contador hurt! He was down

 

[l.Harm]

What do we know about the GC riders?? Contador obv lost time, but they don't seem to bother

 

[Broth3r]

Aaaaaand in the end another can't-climb-a-4th-cat sprinter wins - and worse, gets the most sacred jersey of all. Had some hopes for Rojas with everyone else down, but nope, there just had to be one of those left.

 

[Hayabusa]

What an absolute farce. Why would you let a bus come down the finish line so close to the end of the race and not ensure the bus could 100% fit through...

Hope all the riders that crashed are okay, I think giving everyone the same time is the right decision.

 

[infeXio]

Contadors jersey torn at the shoulder, so he was down.

 

[The Hitch]

luckely they will, commentator just confirmed it

I remember Mont Allessoutes screwjob. There were people confiriming that everyone would get the same time then too.

 

[hrotha]

At the time of the crash the finish line was at km 3 to so at that time it was inside the 3 km limit

Well, that's... I'm not sure how I feel about that.

 

[mr. tibbs]

Damn. Contador crashed. Oh well.

 

[l.Harm]

It was outside the 3K according to dutch tv

 

[Kender]

Contador a jersey is ripped up

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Hopefully nothing serious injury-wise for Sagan and the others. He looks a bit cut up.
