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

can't believe vacansoleil aren't chasing they7 should be punished severely

They are recovering. There are still a lot of intermediate sprints to contest in this Tour. Flecha and Boeckmans still might get 6th and 10th place in the green jersey competition. Also, Poels might get a top 25 on GC.

do you think that the break can stay away till the sprint point?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

presence of talansky ensures that the pelaton wont give them much of a lead.

Good move by OPQS. Trentin can outsprint most of the others in the break

There are a few fast men there: Rojas, Albasini, Simon. Don't know how fast Trentin is though.

 

[Miburo]

Your understanding of tactics is ****.

They'll play the Kadri/Brutt card first, let Sky/Cannondale/whatever control the race and then pitch in should the gap get out of hand

Didn't know they were there but why would sky control it? They can take 10 minutes for them and if it was to become a few minutes, take 5, cannondale wouldn't chase anymore.

That would be a terrible pity as this is a great chance for Flecha to add an additional ten points to his total.

Hi!
I was just wondering if anyone has a good suggestion for a website that is free to stream the Tour in Sweden, in either Swedish or English?
Thanks

apart from rojas, i think trentin can handle the others. He is a decent sprinter, and he has trained with cav.

Rojas doesn't matter.

No matter what field, he'll finish somewhere between 3rd - 10th.

 

[Miburo]

Who is chasing right now? Cannondale, vacansoleil?

 

[sultanofhyd]

What are you guys talking about? No one is worried about Rojas, he'll finish 8th, as is usual.

 

[murali]

you are under-estimating the veteran

 

[Marco Pantani]

Sky paying Euskaltel or what?

 

[Gloin22]

you are under-estimating the veteran

Just look at his results this and previous years

No matter what field, no matter if against Cav, Greipel, or Lasca or Lobato.

He finishes somwehre between 3rd and 10th, i expect that to continue.

It's a tradition by now

 

[l.Harm]

Froomeyy

 

[uconnryan]

Jensie's got this.

 

[xrayvision]

They wont let Talansky go out there on a day like this.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Mhh they missed the break, but still.

 

[sultanofhyd]

The only time I remember Rojas actually winning a sprint was when he beat Contador in the national championships (?) and even then I thought Contador had a chance.

 

[Kris13]

These little climbs, and false-flats (riden with fast pace) will hurt a lot of legs.

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Rojas doesn't matter.

No matter what field, he'll finish somewhere between 3rd - 10th.

What would happen if Rojas and Oss got together in a two man break and nobody bothered chasing them? My guess is that they would crash into each other and both sustain race ending injuries.

 

[Marco Pantani]

They wont let Talansky go out there on a day like this.

Come on Nieve and Anton are sitting 21st and 23rd overall. Next week it's a different story.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

lol @ froome getting pushed by lagutin, nobody respects him

 

[manafana]

full list of who is in the break yet? sky delighted carrot's will chase this for while now

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Sky paying Euskaltel or what?

yeah sky really want a hard racing day today again :facepalm:

 

[Marco Pantani]

yeah sky really want a hard racing day today again :facepalm:

Yeah surely they want to control an 18 man group with talansky on their own.
