2013 Tour de France, stage 18: Gap - Alpe-d'Huez, 172.5km

[TANK91]

Rogers has been doing just as good this year as last year. Who says otherwise?

Trust me a lot of people said funny how Rogers sucks now he as let Sky, and then in Cali people went quiet.

When will Voigt stop and wait for Andy? At the top of Sarenne to steer him down, or after the descent? Or will Andy just get to him at some point during the second ascent of AdH?

I think he would be most useful on the descent, that's the part where he is much better than Andy and where fatigue will not be that big of an issue.

 

[Afrank]

The only stage I couldn't watch from the start and what happens? Moreno _ O _

He's falling back now, you better stop watching.

clouds are looming.

i think nature is waiting for the pelaton to pass the first time

@vetoo: Stage 18. Alpe d'Huez 1 (12.15 km, 8.56 %, 1039 m). Maillot Jaune group: 39 min 26 sec, 18.49 Kph, VAM 1581 m/h, 5.54 W/kg [DrF].

That seems very fast considering the size of the group

The descent and the valley.

To the person asking about Arashiro, yes I seen him getting dropped

A shame. The man's a trooper and he was holding on well.

Also, quite eerie how there's absolutely no one on the Sarenne.

 

[murali]

andy is descending!!!

 

[Alpechraxler]

Schleck could use voigt somehow.

 

[luckyboy]

Cant have been fast. They lost time to TG up front.

Moser was 38:59, MJ group was 39:26 according to @vetooo

It wasn't the full climb though obviously

 

[roundabout]

Boom beat Amador and Chavanel to the top

 

[luckyboy]

Still no storms or rain

Surprising isn't it. Marginal Gains can't be that big a deal if Rogers is as good once he leaves team science as he was when he rode for them.

Nah, works out at ~45 minutes for the whole 13.8km so about expected I think

 

[Ferminal]

Maybe next year you can ****off the other road completely and just do Sarenne.

 

[Kender]

Schleck could use voigt somehow.

Sit behind him shouting SHUT UP LEGS!

Some dudes don't respond to overtraining.

 

[Broth3r]

What's with the Kanye glasses, Hej?

 

[murali]

ryder attacks

 

[junkie]

The descend is really scary, thanks God it's not raining

Yes it's very suprising for the SKY haters.

 

[ElleSquared]

Go Ryder!

 

[thrawn]

Wonder if Hesjedal has left his attack too late to join up with the Schleck group.

 

[Bumeington]

Is the gap still exactly 8'20 or has it just stopped updating?

 

[roundabout]

Just as DLG pops Sky get help
