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

[Pulpstar]

Featurette on Chris Froome riding through his African homelands. Looks pretty cool tbh. Gibbons !

 

[The Barb]

Say what you like about French people, but goddamn they've got themselves a pretty fabulous country.

 

[Sasquatch]

Great riding Hesjedal

Nieve and Anton better be those 2 carrots in that 41 man group.

 

[Arnout]

There are three carrots in the lead group excluding Izaguirre.

Surely one carrot must be Nieve.

Spotted Ruben Perez and someone else (I think Oroz) that is not Nieve, didn't see a third one.

 

[TANK91]

Chris Froome is cracked completely

 

[Pulpstar]

Chris Froome is cracked completely

?!

 

[Arnout]

Say what you like about French people, but goddamn they've got themselves a pretty fabulous country.

They are mostly nice people too, its an annoying urban myth that they collectively arrogant or whatever.

Well, they are a bit socialist, that is true.

Bardet

10c

ffs...

 

[Arnout]

Seems the second group is pretty much irrelevant anyway, apart from polka dot jersey battle.

 

[Vitapen]

One of 2 Katusha riders i think is Losada.

 

[Vino's Mum]

6 minutes behind on Giro winner of last year!

...and Hesj has a cracked rib!

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Seems the second group is pretty much irrelevant anyway, apart from polka dot jersey battle.

they will feature riders who will be used toi jump on, movistar and saxo and katusha

 

[Pulpstar]

Seems the second group is pretty much irrelevant anyway, apart from polka dot jersey battle.

I doubt that very much. It is a hell of a long way for 2 people on their own to go from here. Even if it was Quintana and Froome in top form it would be tough.

The 2nd group is relevant (For the moment) in all ways.

It is still relevant for stage, GC and polkadot. In fact I'm not sure how you could get a more relevant group ? (Unless there was an actual GC contender in there but that won't happen at this early stage)

 

[Rajna31]

How about teammates for Contador and Quintana?

 

[Arnout]

True that, I meant for stage win.

 

[jflemaire]

It´s Van poppel in the back of the peloton .... i think

Van Poppel is watching the race from the comfort of his home.

 

[TANK91]

Sorry I seen him at back, why did he go back, I am gutted C.F will lose the TDF today. I can feel it

 

[Arnout]

Maybe to get some sugar?

 

[TANK91]

Guys are my eyes deceiving me because were Hesjedal and Nieve are it does not look wet?

 

[TANK91]

I mean Izaguirre

 

[meat puppet]

it is clearly raining / misty at some point of the climb. not heavily, tho
