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

Eh, I thought Tejay deserved Combative for that.

Not when a Frenchman wins the stage... If there is a chance a Frenchman to get it they will

 

[Walkman]

Wow are you joking? Combativity for Riblon?

He is french...

 

[Broth3r]

Come on, Frenchies, you could have given Tejay the combativity award, the poor fella.

 

[Morbius]

Didn't Roche do something similar in 1987? I remember him being penalised 10 secs or so for having some cake or something on the final climb to La Plagne?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

if my calculations are correct, no change in top-6, except for loss of time

then your calculations are completely wrong

Poor Tj cant even get a very well deserved combativity award

Huge difference between riders in the autobus sneaking food and drinks outside the rules (deserving of a fine if they get caught) and someone doing it to help a food knocking yellow jersey at a critical point in the race. Porte should be disqualified IMO.

Disgusting sportsmanship by Team Sky. I hope the food knock comes back to haunt Froome tomorrow.

Not sure the difference is that much. If it is that much of a crime then you should be fining people 10 minutes or something.

 

[Rajna31]

of course not. froome took the food, that is illegal

So you say that it's illegal to accept anything from a teammate after 25k (or whatever it was today)? What if Porte took the gel before that and handed it to him? I mean he could act that he didn't know that Porte took it illegally...

 

[Hugo87]

Froome to Porte:

" Give me some sugar baby! "

 

[BigMac]

He is french...

exactly, but this is a worldwide race.

Froome: Was runnin' outta chuga's, Had 2 get chuga's from da car.

 

[Alphabet]

Should have gone to Tejay.

 

[Le Baroudeur]

Where do you live?

That would be of interest. In my country people tend to really dislike dopers and I am happy that my countrymen has that mentality.

Where do you live, and how is it relevant? There are tools to asses impact and popularity of celebrities...

Except that wont fly, he had hand up for the car 30 secs earlier.

 

[Jelantik]

chapeau to Riblon. Catch up Tj and blast pass him. Priceless.
TJ.. good effort. Almost winning. *even though I careless about him*. but still good fighting spirit.

 

[TheEnoculator]

Froome confirmed he was low on sugar and he told Porte to go back to get him some gel.

 

[batchuba]

Convicted athletes.

And in case you were wondering, I live in probably the best country in the world.

So, Hungarian huh? Good for you.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Lol @ you,he is indian,they look older,its nothing with his passport

don't even bother responding to such idiotic posts

 

[Rajna31]

Yeah but he can say that he made up his his mind after he realized that it would be illegal. I know that's not the truth but it's hard to disprove that argument.

 

[Kender]

Skoda have to change their ad now that they've had a breakdown

 

[TANK91]

So Team Sky car had a mechanical so they could not get any gels befre the last climb.

 

[batchuba]

Jesus - Can someone please do something about this post FFS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wrong post. I was merely quoting another.

of cours ehe knew that,. he instructed porte to get the food., he even admitted to it in interview just now. he should be punished for this

 

[Jelantik]

now i know why movistar was around sky bus yesterday congratulating them. Froome interview on tv, he seems to want quintana to be in the podium... HMMMM... no wonder... somethin' somethin'.. He must despise contador that much huh LOL.. Movistar would be happy to be in the second spot. That's the entire goal of them in the first place. Saxo is a headache for Froome

 

[Walkman]

So, Hungarian huh? Good for you.

Central/eastern Europe doesn't really qualify.. Think north!

 

[painai]

20 seconds penalty for CF, not really that much of a penalty
