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

[Panda Claws]

Froome does not appear to be that much stronger to an ever strengthening Quintana however.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Birdsong is the man!!!!!!!

 

[luckyboy]

45 minutes starting from Saint Estève.
Close from the All Time record.

ABANDON THREAD.

[webvan]

Purito being Purito

Not quite, couldn't beat Nieve!

 

[Publicus]

Wow contador really cracked. Did Mollema preserve his 2nd overall?

 

[Walkman]

the record from there is 48'33"

47:12 for Froome from 15km.

 

[goggalor]

lol'd at Kreuziger pipping Contador. Froome is amazing.

 

[TANK91]

I love Quintana but Movistar hit Froome all over the place, maybe a bit of payback, no? And what is Kreuziger doing bringing the favs back to Contador, he wants that podium this is Kreuziger's selfish streak coming back remember what he said about Nibali yrs ago.

 

[murali]

the record from there is 48'33"

47:12 vs 48:33

Marginal gains!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rollthedice]

Time: 47:12.

From 15km that is.

So, he crushed Armstrong's time?

 

[Ramira]

You are correct, there is a precedent of similar accelerations performed by PROVEN DOPERS

First: This is clinic speak, no place here.

Second, if you place this in context: Mayo did it in 55' 55", Froome took more than 58 minutes, and there was a pretty strong tailwind. Froome is strong but he was nowhere near the early 2000's level.

 

[Hayabusa]

Mollema holds on to 2nd in the GC, well climbed!

 

[Walkman]

So, he crushed Armstrong's time?

Not sure if Armstrong time is clocked from 15,7km.

That seems more reasonable.

 

[The Hitch]

lol gap between Froome and 2nd >>>>> gap between rest of the top 10.

 

[Panda Claws]

the record from there is 48'33"

What???

...

 

[goggalor]

GJ Bauke. Looked very bleak when he was dropped.

 

[spalco]

The GC is breathtaking...

 

[Pricey_sky]

Quintana now only just over 1 minute out of the podium. He could do that with 2 MTF's to come.

 

[whittashau]

lol, I almost feel sorry for the Sky fans who will try to defend this one. Good luck guys.

I just hope he will be caught soon.... you will be very embarrassed and will disapear from this forum... like the lance fans.... we already see this movie before. open your eyes.. you look likes a smart guy, but so blind.

 

[dgodave]

Froome!!! Awesome!!! Crushes it!!!

 

[ILovecycling]

lol'd at Kreuziger pipping Contador. Froome is amazing.

To take a few seconds for Alberto,he was cooked completely

 

[TANK91]

Guys isit me or is Valverde lame, why did Mov use Quintana from so far out again its a joke guys he is 23 Valverde should have attacked when pace was slow then Quintana bridge and do 2-3 kms flat out, but no that's too hard or A.V ego. Hope Mollema looses his spot to Quintana he deserves the podium imo. Even thugh I don't cheer for Contador, I think he will get 2nd, why did Kreuziger bring the group back I no Contador cracked and he can say he chased Purito but the thing is he only bought Mollema back.
