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

[Descender]

Not 90% of portuguese speaker speak brazilian portuguese. It isn't only Portugal And Brasil who speak it (portuguese). Angola, Moçambique, Timor... also do.

That is what is wrong. Maybe 40%

40%?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil

Portuguese: 210-215 million native speakers.

Brazil: 194 million inhabitants.

Taking the 215 number: exactly 90%.

 

[Carols]

Contador gets real credit here for at least trying to pressure Froome. Contador's a dirty cheat, but I've forgotten he puts on a real show.

Maybe we'll get more than two Froome alien episodes if Contador can pressure Froome more.

Take it to the clinic, where it belongs.

Boss of the third world surely . . .

Portugal might be in a ****ty state, but its still a much better place to live than brasil.

After all brasil isn't really what they show on the telenovelas

No, that's wrong.
The World Factbook sources from your first link:

Total portuguese speakers: 258 M
Brazil: 201 M

= 78%

This isn't what either Portuguese or Brazilians tell me ...

At any rate, in my (technical) profession there's both more work and better pay in Brazil than in Portugal ...

Anyways back to the topic.

It turns out to be a good stage.

 

[wwabbit]

If he doesn't like it this yar wait till he needs to follow Nibali in 2014.

I predict huge descents.

Erm... I think he would much prefer to follow Nibali instead of Contador.

Sure there is, but things in the main cities are more expensive too, I know this fact because half of my family lives in Rio for about 40 years.

And trust me that's not the only things that count, Portugal can be poor, but it's more cleaner, better roads and facilities,safer,organized (yes) and you can stay in a beach without being robbed ( not like in a beach on Copacabana or being robbed in a traffic light)

Froome is being ridiculous. Looks like he's afraid, but I can't think of a reason why.

 

[murali]

Froome is stupid to assume that AC will ride smoothly to finish. AC has already said that for him its either win or loss.

AC will take risks. if Froome is scared about getting into crash, he should either stop racing, or fall back to porte and hope that they can cover distance by the time contador reaches the finish line.



btw, i heard that Froome is a very good descender.

 

[One Man Grupetto]

This is proving educational, albeit for reasons wholly unconnected to cycle racing.

Yeah sure has gotten Off Topic in here....

That's the reason why i think he doesn't deserve yellow.

The fleece is supposed to convert lambs to lions. but unfortunately....

 

[Deagol]

Imagine if Contador attacks on alpe d huez the first time and gets a couple of minutes on the descent (wishful thinking i know)

Then Froome will go into full alien mode to try and catch him

LOL, I though "Full Alien Mode" only worked on uphills and Time Trials .... ??

If Froome doesn't deserve it I don't know who does. The best climber and the best TTer of the race.

man.. do not go to copacabana... go to floripa, ceara, angra, etc.. so much good places to go... I do not understand what the gringos is going to do in copacanaba.. there is nothing good there..

 

[fantomas]

After every mini-attack Contador had a good look at Mollema,thats who he was trying too hurt.Froome is wrong on this one.

Froome was upset with Contador setting such a high paceon the descent. If Contador crashed, Froome might too, and that was what Froome was upset about. If he felt unsafe he should just slow down, not expect others to do so.

 

[Carols]

@victorgallo_ 43min
Contador ha dicho en Cope que Nairo le ha preguntado si estaba bien.Su gesto ha sido afirmativo no un reproche. Y twitter matando a Contador


Quintana asked Contador if he was Ok and and Contador responded with a thumb up

So everyone can stop the speculation.....

 

[goggalor]

Thought that was a waste of energy by Contador but he appears to have succeeded in winding Froome up. Froome shouldn't have been following him on the downhill if he felt he was taking big risks, he can spare a few seconds.

Great ride by Costa, saved Movistar's Giro.
