2013 Tour de France, stage 17: Embrun / Chorges 32 km (ITT)

[Netserk]

The rain has started!

 

[Bakhjulet]

Wet roads on first descent will cause a huge time loss. Very technical.

 

[Amused]

Rain. Pluie.

Yup. Raindrops on the camera.

 

[Cyivel]

TJVG boom.

 

[maltiv]

Good ride by TJVG, could be winning if it starts raining.

lol jk, Froome will take 4 minutes on him on the climbs

 

[saneguy]

Raining finally

 

[Bakhjulet]

Nice ride by Tejay.

 

[murali]

TJ nailed it.

53' 24.8"

at last TJ is showing some of his strengths




and it is raining now.


TJ FTW

 

[cyclogenesis]

Look at that rain! NASTY!

 

[Broth3r]

Well damn. With that rain, TJVG may have just won.

 

[Pulpstar]

Tejay may just have saved his and BMC's TdF with that ride.

 

[Parrulo]

The rain has started!

Praise the Lord!!!!!

 

[wwabbit]

TJVG wins the TT!

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

I know France is stuffed but could they seriously not afford to resurface this for the 100th Tour?

 

[Carols]

TJ good going...Now it is pouring. He might win

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Very Wet Roads now

 

[murali]

the first part of the course is still dry though.

 

[Kender]

TJ good going...Now it is pouring. He might win

Not might. He will

 

[Pulpstar]

We know Chris Froome can descend in the dry but how will he go in the wet !

Contador will either crash out the Tour or gain time. Calling it now.

 

[Netserk]

I know France is stuffed but could they seriously not afford to resurface this for the 100th Tour?

What's next? Do you also want to resurface Finestre?

 

[Warhawk]

Tejay may just have saved his and BMC's TdF with that ride.

Well, even if he wins, hard to call it a "successful" TdF, but at least "abject failure" gets taken out of the equation.

 

[Kender]

We know Chris Froome can descend in the dry but how will he go in the wet !

Better than wigans. Froome was a mountain biker

 

[Rollthedice]

Rain make this completely open for GC contenders. TJ has a chance to win.

 

[Gugashwill]

Place your bets on a black number.

 

[Miburo]

What's next? Do you also want to resurface Finestre?

This is the dude who was hoping that a mountain stage was gonna turn into a flat stage (talking about ws)
