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

[Publicus]

Not a problem for Froome, Stannard can close any gap single handed.

FROOME can close any gap single handed. Or did you miss his performance at the ITT?

 

[Pulpstar]

How can movistar be so tactically naive. I don't even ride a bike and I knew taking a team-mate's bike was the right option there.

 

[levione]

I get don't attack the yellow due to mechanicals, flats etc, but why second? Where do you logically stop? Don't attack the guy in 6th? It's racing and it's entertaining.

 

[Pippo_San]

Pippo_San rooting for Belkin, I think im in the twilight zone.

This must be the first time I see them doing something barely interesting and with a bit of common sense.
I can't believe it.

 

[Lanark]

Guys like Contador are having the time of their life, proviting a lot of the work by Belkin, and can later feign offence, sating they'd never do it.

 

[Publicus]

There is a big difference between attacking a rider (yellow or not) that has a problem and what's happening now. The pressure was already on in a big way. If something happens now it's just bad luck. OPQS will only stop if cav has a problem

Good point. That does distinguish things a bit.

 

[murali]

saxo is decent in not capitalizing on a puncture to get a position. pelaton still has some gentlemen left.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

movistar at paris nice two thousand and twelve..levi{opqs} had a problem and everyone was calling movistar names then lol even mrs wiggins says it makes her want to puke.

 

[Ruby United]

2k to sprinting points

 

[Publicus]

Maybe the Valverde/Kittle group closes the gap when the peloton races for the sprint points.

Europecar is riding in both groups, that's how you play politics.

Yeah but it's painfully obvious why Belkin is riding... and it's not for their splinter.

Let quickStep pull and if they stay away, great. Put to punk Valv due to a puncture is bush league.

 

[Frosty]

Danielson, Martin and Talanksy all in front group

 

[Ruby United]

Greipel
Cav
Sagan

 

[roundabout]

Once again, lol at Flecha the sprinter

 

[The Principal Sheep]

Greipel, Cav, Sagan, back to business as usual.

 

[GroupDK]

Thats cycling..

but this can likely turn movistars tdf up side Down if this situation holds to the finish.

there nr. 1 in team-comp.. saxo 2 in team gc & 3-4 in overall can benefit quite a bit , but seems to be clear about there role and not participate to much.

 

[uconnryan]

Cavendish pedal FASTER!

 

[LaFlorecita]

This is why the race for the yellow is never over until they reach paris.

If Froome gets a flat tire now, he can lose minutes.

I was actually thinking (even before the piti flat) a mechanical for Froome would be really interesting

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Contador can get second without needing to kick Piti in the nuts to do it.

Pity though for piti

 

[Pippo_San]

Come on fanboys KEEP ON CRYING

Now really we only need Cannondale to take some turns on the front and BOOM. Bye bye Vomistar

This is the GREEN DAY!

 

[TourOfTexas]

Flecha, WTF are you doing?

 

[BigMac]

Why is Omega riding so hard anyways? Its not like there is a break to catch... Lame riding by Belkin.

 

[Kender]

Maybe the Valverde/Kittle group closes the gap when the peloton races for the sprint points.

No they are gone for the day. Will finish 3 mins down

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Anyway if Belkin didn't ride they would be called pussies again.
Now they do ride and ofcourse are evil

Hypocrits, hypocrits everywhere. Besides Mollema learned after TdSuisse 2 years ago from LeoTard how to screw someone over. They screwed him there
