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

[Cyclope]

Kwiatkowski isnt looking good, might drop out of top 10

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Nieve is one of the better climbers in the race, so he can easily bridge a couple minute gap

If Gesink, Nieve and some other good climbers put a decent pace on the Madeleine it should do doable.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Kwiatkowski isnt looking good, might drop out of top 10

No, they rode away from the peloton.

Three Omega Pharma-Quickstep riders on the attack
Pineau, Cavendish and Kwiatkowski have attacked the peloton on the descent of the col du Glandon.

Is that corrct (From letour.fr) I know Cav is a great rider but wasn't expecting it on a stage like this !

Cavendish is a very good descender, he's just gonna pace them down the descent. Not really that surprising.

 

[The Barb]

If Cav can just stay with the lead group over the final climb he'll win for sure.

Good descender, peloton going slow enough for him to keep up there. Might be just enjoying the descent, get himself ahead of the peloton for the next climb.

Hesjedal will go all out to win this for Bauer now in that really cheesy Garmin way.

Interesting... Kwaitkowski making a play for the white jersey?

 

[The Principal Sheep]

No, they rode away from the peloton.

Expecting Quintana to attack on Madeleine or worried of being dropped?

Huge gap to try and get to the breakaway.

Break will win again,

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

Kwaitkowski's group is stuck a minute ahead of the peloton and a minute behind the breakaway right now.

 

[Gugashwill]

I hope that stage fight won't be the only excitement of the stage.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Unless Movistar steps up, it will be a wheelsuckers paradise today with a sprint in the end.

 

[Miburo]

I fear that they won't get any crazy attack on the madeleine

Come on, he's right. Though, there is no chance in hell that Cav will stay with the lead group over the last climb.

 

[Gugashwill]

Looks like Tinkoff is waiting for finale.

the counter attack group isn't 38 but 44, now 40 because those 4 escaped

 

[The Hitch]

So all the gc teams have made an alliance to ride this like a 200km roll out.

pff. What a dud of a TDF.

 

[outnumbered]

Presumably Hejsedal's sunglasses are actually some super premium sports product, and not the 5Euro specials from the bargain bin at Intermarche that they appear to be ?
