2013 Tour de France, stage 16: Vaison-la-Romaine - Gap 168Km

[luckyboy]

Hopefully this aggression will be repeated in the Alps

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

It´s froome, he could brigde this alone without a problem, not even breathing hard.

And if he got a puncture, he'd ride on the rims as well I'm sure.

 

[Gloin22]

Does a thumbs up mean something different in spanish? Didn't look unhappy to me

He looked bit ****ed.

Could have well been sarcastic sign.

 

[murali]

Alberto unhappy with Movistar.. How pathetic.

what makes you say so.

contador gave a thumps up to quintana. meaning they wanted froome and portte to work hard to bridge the gap.


saxo and mov have made sky work before the TT

 

[Descender]

Right... Beacuse setting the 17th stage of last years TdF for Valverde, LBL for Valverde...

He never asked for your respect anyways... nor he needs it.

What exactly did Costa do for Valverde those days? Attack? Oh, he'll attack all right. He'll do anything to get something out of the day. For himself.

 

[Descender]

Contador's gesture looked clearly sarcastic to me.

 

[l.Harm]

Contador angry when he came back?

 

[ILovecycling]

If Froome risks like that from downhills he won't win this race
Why is he doing this,he has 4 minutes

 

[Kokoso]

Saxo grand plan revealed - Contador to crash off himself and Froome, leaving Kreuziger to win.

I see that's just a joke, but pro forma: Kreuziger couldn't pull when Alberto dropped.

 

[DominicDecoco]

What race are you watching, dude? Seriously.

Does a thumbs up mean something different in spanish? Didn't look unhappy to me

what makes you say so.

It was obviously a sarcastic thumbs up because they paced after his crash.

 

[Gloin22]

It was a sarcastic thumbs up because they paced after his crash.

IT could have well been me thinks.

Although cant say for sure.

 

[Kokoso]

hint: Sarcasm

Yeah I understood that. On my side the same: sarcasm

 

[Finn84]

Did they put an ad banner covering the Beloki corner?

I think so, if I understood the place right. The finish is in the different place this time though, because that day the riders passed 4 km banner in the place where Armstrong returned to the road.

I remember after Lance's comeback some fans had marked "Lance route" in the meadow.

 

[The Hitch]

Contador angry when he came back?

It could be that the crash was actually quite bad and usually when one gets hurt like that one wants to take it out on someone, so he took it out on Movistar.

Also very bad for Alberto to make enemies with Movistar.

 

[Broth3r]

Eurosport dude, for the love of god, WHY did you have to learn Brazilian Portuguese?

 

[Carols]

Chapeau Rui and Movistar!!!! They are going to have a podium spot also

Nice GC action also. Berto finally shows some legs Darned he crashed on the downhill taking risks

LOL Froome trys to outsprint Jrod. Jrod showing some legs too

Exciting final 15km all around!

 

[LaFlorecita]

Froome shows he's a much better descender than Alberto. Great recovery.

I hope you're sarcastic.

 

[Kokoso]

What ?! He would never pull with Kreuziger in front. Froome did try though !

Bertie being ironic with Valverde when he got back?

Roman apparently waited for Alberto. So yes - Alberto should pull.

Movistar are racing against Contador.

 

[sulgpallur]

Eurosport dude, for the love of god, WHY did you have to learn Brazilian Portuguese?

Probably taking language courses for FIFA world cup

 

[batchuba]

Well that gave me some hope for the nest few stages.

Bert looked much improved, and at least dropped Porte...temporarily.

 

[H2OUUP2]

And if he got a puncture, he'd ride on the rims as well I'm sure.

probably win the bunch sprint...

 

[*G*K*S*]

Top ten?
10 char

 

[More Strides than Rides]

I would have thought Froome was more shaken up after the spill than Contador. The best we can hope for is a Wiggans' effect, where he's now a little more skittish for the next few days

 

[jilbiker]

It was obviously a sarcastic thumbs up because they paced after his crash.

I think so too. The commentators said he was saying congratulations for the Movistar victory but there was no reply from Quintana so it couldn't have been that
