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

[sultanofhyd]

Quintana might just take it, esp if he pulls of another couple of long range attacks.


what is safe gap between kadri and the rest at the top of climb?

Might take what?

 

[BigMac]

Might take what?

Super combatif award

 

[sultanofhyd]

They rarely give the super combative to GC men. Attacks on finishing climbs don't count.

 

[sultanofhyd]

And long range is when you attack 100 kms out like Contador and Schleck, not 10 kms.

 

[Afrank]

a minute might be too much, how is Kadri's descending?

Too much for them to get? Probably. They might be able to make due with 30-40 seconds, but doesn't look like they're getting much time. think they're probably be caught.

Can't recall any really impressive descending from Kadri. So not sure how good he is. I do remember him putting his chain back on by hand while descending in Roma Maxima though.

 

[Parrulo]

Costa right at the back of the group

LOL why is Belkin working?

 

[murali]

belkin and sky both in the front. there might just be something among the top 10

 

[Afrank]

Kadri trying to keep it away. Got to say, I've really come to like Kadri this season. He's an attacking and exciting rider.

Nice move by Hansen.

Perhaps he meant Quinziato rather than Quintana?

 

[murali]

looks more and more like voeckler now.

 

[Hugo87]

Costa is feeling it today.

 

[sultanofhyd]

De Gendt is really really bad this season.

 

[The Hitch]

First of 4 stage wins for saxo today

Edit, i mean Movistar

 

[murali]

it might be costa too. i think he is feeling superstrong today.


costa has put hammer down

 

[Parrulo]

Costa might be going a bit too early

 

[lemoogle]

Voeckler looks to be struggling

 

[murali]

voeckler and gilbert together but they are a bit back

 

[Parrulo]

Voeckler looks to be struggling

Looks is the key word.

He will win the stage lol

 

[xrayvision]

Roche on the limit

 

[webvan]

Rui Costa, wow...Klodi, WTF ?!

 

[Hugo87]

Come on Rui!

 

[Broth3r]

It's a dangerous move in case the chasers regroup, but that doesn't seem to be happening atm, 5-4 grouplets at most.

They will come together on the descent

 

[Parrulo]

What is the gap between Costa and the chasers?

 

[Pulpstar]

What on earth were OPQS doing on the front of the peloton lol ?
