2013 Tour de France, Stage 15: Givors - Mont Ventoux 242.5 Km

[luckyboy]

Riis is a good contender

Yeah was thinking that too

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Pre-historic differences

 

[whittashau]

lol I guess Froome was told that he can speed up again

 

[perico]

Looks like the 2000 ascent with Armstrong and Pantani.

 

[wwabbit]

Froome you are a legend these guys cant take it that you are so strong, im sure its the whole BRIT thing. I mean come on Mods do your job all these clinic refrences and I got banned for it, were are the warnings.

There's a report button that you can use.

Quintana 23 years,WOW!

 

[Hayabusa]

Porte looks so smug right now

 

[TANK91]

You guys will say look at the gaps, but Contador is not evn pacing himself in the whole race, you gotta admit its hardly suprising he is taking time out of Nieve isit.

Hey @chrisfroome - no gifts on the Ventoux.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Ritchie Porte has got his smile back, great team mate and happy to see his friend upfront.

 

[autologous]

pulling away one-handed. not even needing to pull on the bars, has enough reserve to chat on the radio

 

[burning]

"There wont be minutes between riders"

Yeah indeed

 

[Carols]

Take him Quintana!!!!

 

[ILovecycling]

Omg Alberto go alone!

 

[murali]

only nieve is pulling. contador is o nly sitting in the back. expect a charge from contador in the final section. anyways i think he might lose another minute and half

If he was such a great teammate, he would have done 1-2km more and completely blow up. Now he is still riding in front of the Mollema group.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Take him Quintana!!!!

Froome will gift him the stage anyway

Lance Armstrong ‏@lancearmstrong 1m
Hey @chrisfroome - no gifts on the Ventoux.

Haha, he regrets giving Ventoux to Pantani back then?

 

[DirtyWorks]

He is at the limit, probably overcooked himself trying to follow the Dawg

I'm paraphrasing a quote I read from someone. The riders just hang on as long as they can until Sky turns it on. Then it's survival mode. They've been doing it all season.

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Yeah porte looking gloriously smug

 

[sultanofhyd]

What? He is begging Nieve to work for him, he can't charge.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Valverde dropped again

 

[TourOfSardinia]

poor valverde dropping

Did you not see Froome talk to him just before he attacked? Froome wanted to go so Porte sat up and let him. Porte had more to give but Froome saw that his rivals were cooked.
