2013 Tour de France, Stage 12: Fougéres - Tours 218 Km

[Afrank]

not exactly. but ASO have built this course for a crash, just like stage 1.

Doesn't mean someone should be hoping for it.

 

[spalco]

No he wouldn't have, but this thread would be 15 pages longer.

Haha, exactly that.

 

[murali]

they will be crossing the bridge shortly, and all the GC teams are in the front.

And the team who are going to win should be on the right side in the bridge.

OPQS havent lost tht spot yet.

 

[b.broadhurst]

Cav and OPQS seem to be far back

 

[roosters76]

Someone's gonna "Ciolek" the win from the big four. It's gonna be technical, zee Germans will not podium on this one. My money on Kristoff.

 

[Arnout]

not exactly. but ASO have built this course for a crash, just like stage 1.

Yeah they shouldn't use wide open roads, I agree.

 

[spalco]

Ouch, he'll feel that tonight in bed.

 

[murali]

one man slipped. but no crash . thank god

 

[thrawn]

OGE are providing a nice leadout for one of the other teams.

 

[The Principal Sheep]

Orica very keen to get Goss a win but I just don't see it, others too strong.

 

[Afrank]

Is it true that Gallopin said Andy's goal for the tour is still a top5? Just heard it on the Italian broadcast.

Hmm, if that is true than it's very interesting. We will likely see him attack in the alps plenty I think if he's realistically thinking about a top 5. He knows that is the only way he could get a top 5.

Oh 3k to go, got to start paying attention now.

 

[Afrank]

crash, big one.

Greipel in it.

 

[spalco]

Uff. Froome got through, but might be GC guys in there.

 

[murali]

crash. but thankfully inside the last 3 km

 

[sultanofhyd]

Uff. Froome got through, but might be GC guys in there.

Inside 3km

 

[The Principal Sheep]

Greipel!?!

 

[trevim]

And I thought Kwiat would be excused from lead out duties. Silly me

 

[spalco]

Inside 3km

Of course, but they could be hurt.

 

[Red Rick]

Andy Schleck crashed too, according to the commentators

 

[The Principal Sheep]

Cav v Kittel now...

 

[cineteq]

Who is Cav going to push today?

 

[Afrank]

Cav? 10 char

edit: no, looks like Kittel?

 

[ILovecycling]

Which GC guys were in the fall?

 

[spalco]

Very close. I think it's Cav, but I wouldn't bet on it.

 

[Red Rick]

Froome almost won
