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

[For The World]

WTF was that corner with the padding on the side of the building. Holy geez.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Saxo attempt failing - they wanted to make Froome do something silly but he's ignoring them so far.

 

[Rollthedice]

Contador and Sleck together on Alpe, good old friends?

 

[Scirea]

One can see the coming Andy/Alberto alliance. "Work with us up the road and you an have the stage."

Contador and Sleck together on Alpe, good old friends?

Yes, they could form a really nice group there that wold be hard for Sky to bring back.

 

[TANK91]

R.K is stronger on the descent so far.

The stage and a new toy likely.

 

[b.broadhurst]

catch will be made soon

 

[Tom T.]

AC and RK not getting enough of a gap.

 

[goggalor]

No more than 10" for Berto unfortunately.

 

[The Hitch]

They are using RK as a simple domestique?

 

[murali]

only about 10s of adv for contador

Saxo are dumb, but this isn't quite Balaclava dumb.

 

[luckyboy]

Kreuziger + Contador will be caught on the flat for sure

 

[puffin]

If only they had one more team mate to pace them through the valley

 

[GroupDK]

a shame that the skyteam, seems to have find some form over night..

 

[thrawn]

Movistar pulling Contador back. Gap isn't very big.

Moser looks like a pretty decent descender.

 

[whittashau]

pfttt, I dislike all the wimps going on about this descent. Many in the Giro are just as bad as this

 

[Zam_Olyas]

R.K is stronger on the descent so far.

Really? how did you figure that out?

 

[Kender]

catch will be made soon

Yep, sky gaining back. Smart move by froome not to chase. No need to risk a crash with his lead

 

[therhodeo]

I'm pretty sure the Saxo attack was just to put pressure on Sky to make them make a mistake, not to actually try and get a huge advantage. Maybe I'm wrong.

 

[murali]

riblon back with moser

 

[ILovecycling]

Thats weak

 

[Hugo87]

Another fail by Riis, now Porte will catch them on the flat/early part of the ascent and they will both be dropped.
