: 2013 Tour de France, stage 19: Bourg-d'Oisans / Le Grand-Bornand, 203.5km

See you think this is a reason not to attack, I think it is a reason to attack. Sky have proven last year and this, that riding tempo to the last climb and then kicking it up on the last climb is their bread and butter, they also show every classics season that all day high pace is not their forte, so test that. Of course if you are racing for second and have no interest in first, for sure sit in.

I agree to that but this years tour has 50% more climbing to do,, it this same stage profile was in last year,, yes they would attack but not this year

If Quintana wants to win the stage...

God give it a rest guys, Evans is a TDF winner, a 1xWC and podium'ed every GT . Yes it was dumb at is age to do the Tour but why does he get such a bad rap. Its like Belkin aswell and dutch in general everyone lol's when they fail its sad and immature. Evans has been the second best GT guy really since 2007. Name 1 guy other than AC who as done better maybe Ivan Basso and Andy Schleck that's about it.

Lol at vichot's dancing

Good job dropping Froome's rouleurs before you attack a descent/flat.

They arent attacking. They are defendeing the team gc

 

[TANK91]

still waiting for you to admit you're wrong about Nibali...

Why what does he said about Nibbles?.

 

[Sasquatch]

They're not doing that.

All they are doing is making sure they are at the front on the descent.

 

[willbick]

Evans is a highly paid employee of BMC racing. He does what his team tell him to do

41 pages and yet no one has asked where the Vino option is in the poll!??!

Why what does he said about Nibbles?.

Hitch asked him a question, it was related to that.

 

[Cimber]

Apparently a Lampre-rider went over the edge and fell quite a distance

It would be nice if we'd finally get rid of that old overused joke.

 

[willbick]

Stannard is a really big lump lol

Terrible news.

I didn't vote because of that.

 

[murali]

it was vichot who went off the road.

the doctor checked him, and i heard that he was back to racing.

Tell me about it lol, its Miburo's fault lol, aint it Miburo

 

[murali]

Riis is surprising me again.



3 saxo riders are in the front, without any apparent reason.

Don't tell me the team GC logic. with such a large group, radioshack will get it back.

There was an additional crash accoding to Rolf Sørensen who is on one of the Motos (according to him the lampre rider fell 7 meter, but might be a tad exaggerated)

 

[zombo10]

Rolland day today or not?! For me, it's not done yet...

 

[whittashau]

Apparently the Lampre rider fell so far that he ended up in a river?!

ryder is using the worst glass that I ever see

Not with 7 mins and 3 schack riders who are willing to pull (cos of the team gc). I actually think that now Saxo really wanna win that team GC.

Apparently he just missed the river and landed in grass.

 

[The Hitch]

Why what does he said about Nibbles?.

That he can name 30 riders who are better climbers than Nibali.
