2013 Tour de France, Stage 14: Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule / Lyon 191KM

[murali]

also, tomorrow has MTF. that means the climbing points are going to get doubled. rolland can lose his polka jersey

 

[Dazed and Confused]

-Lars Bak (LTB)

- Jens Voigt (RTL)

- Arthur Vichot (FDJ)

- Blel Kadri (ALM)

- Christophe Le Mevel (COF)

and hopefully

Jean Marc Marino (SOJ)
Villieux(EUC)


this is bad. we need more in the break

small group with no GC threat.

If the peloton lets it go, it could be a dull stage.

+15 minutes and a soft break win is possible.

But all is not lost yet, only 45s the gap.

 

[Ney the Viking]

BAK BAK BAK! With motorcycle Bak and motorcycle Voight, how can they possible entertain the notion of ever catching them?

 

[The Blues]

For once, I hope this breakaway is just being allowed to go and fight for the stage win. Go, Lars and Jens!

 

[search]

9 points today. and he can afford to take more chances in the rest of the race. tomorrow's stage wont give rolland any points, as the real GC climbers will take them

exactly, what only means that Kadri will be even further back tomorrow. It's not him Rolland has to worry about, but Froome, Quintana, Valverde and so on, especially after yesterday, no more free points for Rolland

 

[murali]

gap is coming down. i think pelaton wants more ppl in the break.

 

[RedheadDane]

NonoNOOOO!
Peloton, just let them go! You're tired after yesterday, you need to rest for tomorrow.
No need to be silly and try to catch the break!

 

[murali]

it might take another 10 km for the break to form.

would have liked to see who is in the front of pelaton

 

[manafana]

who is chasing the break?

 

[Lance Armstrong]

4 men, 40km at the front already. They will need more riders to make it to the finish.

 

[brilleaben]

Vacansoleil-DCM ‏@VacansoleilDCM 1m

Update #TDF Team still in the front of the peloton. A breakaway without a #vacansoleildcm rider? That's not going to happen without a fight.

 

[meat puppet]

this comment might bite me in the arsch, but too bad they probably cant ambush froome today.

not only would it provide great entertainment, for as a bonus mollema and AC taking a minute again would severely enhance the possibility of full-*** tomorrow.

 

[The Blues]

Bloody hell. They're catching them now...

Edit: Maybe if the 14 guys get up there, it's possible!

 

[The Sheep]

group of 14 chasing the 4

 

[xrayvision]

SKY in front of the peloton

 

[Miburo]

SKY in front of the peloton

That's good. I think movistar will make the race explode (i hope)

 

[Kris13]

It will be very fast first hour for this terrain, over 47km/h or something.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

14 riders chasing front group.

Hopefully more serious stuff this time. Waiting for names.

 

[xrayvision]

That's good. I think movistar will make the race explode (i hope)

One of the photos on @Movistar_Team website is signed: "wounded but not dead". Belkin, Europcar, you have been warned.... very likely to happen.

 

[The Blues]

Apparently the 14 are caugt again and now only three guys are chasing the four leaders.

 

[Miburo]

14 riders chasing front group.

Hopefully more serious stuff this time. Waiting for names.

Maybe rogers is in the group, that's why sky is chasing maybe?

Saxo can definitely still play out rogers. Not an ace as kreuziger but it's a nice jack

Valverde said yesterday "Revenge is sweet (aimed at europcar)"

 

[xrayvision]

Argos-Shimano lift the pace of the peloton they are going full *** too

 

[Gloin22]

Meh, no GC man up there, so if they let them go, Sky have no massive reason to chase.

Good names though in the break, Gilbert might finally save his Tour today.

 

[Miburo]

Argos-Shimano lift the pace of the peloton they are going full *** too

It won't be long, we're going to a section where it's up and down the whole time.

Wanna bet a break is formed the moment we go live?

 

[roundabout]

Not Gilbert apparently.

All Vacansoleil chasing and nobody in the break.
