2013 Tour de France, Stage 13: Tours - Saint-Amand-Montrond (173 km)

[Afrank]

Quintana? is he with Valverde?

No, he was with the front group. Not with Valverde. With Froome now I believe.

 

[Kwibus]

Ah crap organisation back in the Froome group. For a moment it was a mess.

Go Saxo!

 

[thrawn]

See Lotto I can understand working

 

[Kokoso]

Ten Dam and Mollema not pacing, cowards

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Todays stage will have consequences this weekend.

None of the main GC teams expected such a hard day.

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Thought the TTT was on the 2nd not the 12th?

 

[batchuba]

It's going up!

 

[SafeBet]

Gaining time now.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Valverde 4:33 back. Whoa.

 

[The Principal Sheep]

Why? Froome could let this group take a minute and it hardly matters. However if BMC and Katusha keep widening the gap and chase down the front they put themselves in a much better position.


Some of you need to get over the Sky hate.

Why assume it's all Sky hate and not just wanting more exciting racing?

 

[BigMac]

Half my face is crying for Valverde, the other is Loling @ Froome.

Tweet by Velofutur - Costa's managing agency:

Hoy es dia para analizar la habilidad de los diferentes directores. Algunos quedan eliminados por mala suerte y otros por malas decisiones

Roughly translated, "Today we should analyze the ability of the DS'. Some were eliminated by bad luck and others by bad decisions"

I believe they're referring to riders. Costa transfer rumors, go?

 

[Red Rick]

Lotto is gonna stop working as soon as they realise Greipel is lost today

 

[webvan]

Froome doesn't look very strong at the moment.

Can't see him at all, pis*ing himself?

 

[Publicus]

Where is Lotto? They should pull really hard for Greipel and I don't see them sharing the work with Sky/BMC.

Absolutely. They have a reason to ride. BMC and Katusha, not so much.

 

[cocteau_ireland]

This is what riding to win is all about

 

[King Boonen]

Why assume it's all Sky hate and not just wanting more exciting racing?

You mean people not bothering to chase is more exciting?

 

[GroupDK]

this is just beautiful cycling..

 

[Ramira]

10k till the little climb. That might cause some changes with regards to the sprinter teams if Cavendish or Greipel get dropped.

They started again...

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Oleg tinkov must be all loco right now.

 

[Aditya]

Half my face is crying for Valverde, the other is Loling @ Froome.

Haha, I am going through the exact same emotions right now.

 

[Afrank]

Up to 30 seconds. Go Saxo and Contador GO!

 

[Publicus]

Can't see him at all, pis*ing himself?

He's sitting fairly far back in the group. He usually tries to show he's the boss by sitting toward the front.
