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

[Publicus]

So how long does the peloton have to wait? Without allowing Kittel group back?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I don't think they will ride

Scrap that. Belkin does ride

 

[Warhawk]

If Movistar pulls this off, all of the chapeaus in the world.

 

[Ruby United]

Quintana allowed to stay in peleton. Finally Movistar see sense.

 

[Ramira]

Interesting thought.

Are we seeing the change in team leadership at Movistar? If Valverde stays behind they'll have no choice but to go for Quintana.

 

[Kwibus]

Personally, despite me being dutch and ofcourse supporting Mollema and Ten Dam don't really like this.

 

[roundabout]

what's up with the sudden belkin ******baggery?

 

[Ruby United]

Valverde only 12 secs back.

I think it's awesome

This race for 2nd place is quite interesting

 

[levione]

Kittel's group back to less than a minute

 

[Kwibus]

They are losing ground! Belkin destroying Valverdes chances...ouch.

There will be some hostilities tonight

They don't have to wait. OPQS were the ones that caused the break. They are the ones pushing the front. Movistar is not a factor in their race

Same here, I'd prefer them to podium on their own merit. It would be so much more glorious for Mollema (and I believe he has a chance).

Then again, imagine the explosion on this forum if it were Froome back there

 

[The Principal Sheep]

I think it's awesome

From one sheep to another, agreed!

FFS stupid RaboBlancoBelkinFail COME ON!!! PULL LIKE HELL AND TRASH THOSE YELLOW HELMETS!!!

Yep. One thing if Quick Step is drilling it, something else if Belkin is trying to move up because of a puncture.

Rolland fighting for his GC



Belkin obviously riding for team classification.

 

[Ruby United]

Peleton gaining on Valverde! I think Sky should do what they did last year when Evans punctured

 

[Kender]

Belkin had put in some time at the front before valvarde had his puncture, but nothing like they have there at the moment

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Costa drops back to help as well. Only Quintana left up front

You're hilarious.

 

[dan_mcloughlin]

Poor show pushing on if you ask me. Especially from Belkin, perhaps a different matter if it's a sprinter team pushing on a the front

 

[SafeBet]

Why the hell didn't he grab a teammate bike instead of changing his tire?

Sky has no say in this. It was OPQS that caused the break. It's their call and they don't want kittel back
