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

[ThirdWorld]

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)

this year, a friend of mine from here, where I live, was in Annecy for the letape.. with a big group from here.. he felt in a bend... it is look like that he will not walk again.. he is yet in annecy at the hospital.. very dangerous...

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

My feeling: Rolland will not go to the end!

 

[Cimber]

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

25 of which are colombians I reckon

Sieberg crashed and out

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

And that the Vuelta victory was a fluke and he'll never win another GT

the other five are from venezuela.. but all of them are from south america!

Saxo riding is all right but why the hell Contador is there on the front? Where are the other Saxo workers?

He's going for the polka dots.

tired?! 10c

I think Saxo might try the 'launchpad' approach for Kreuz or Contador but the groups are too far apart so they need to bring them back together a bit ?

Maybe ?

They tried the 'two riders into no man's land' tactic yesterday which was a complete fail. Hey at least they try things even though this tour they are not the best !

Propably just riding to save the Team GC

They're just trying to keep their lead in the team clasification.

 

[TANK91]

Saxo fail tactics lol.

 

[Pulpstar]

Roche chatting to Sky.

Saxo and Sky get along well I think - little Richy was telling a tale yesterday to Rogers

 

[Cyclope]

Any bets on Euskadi riders ??? They are doing a lot of work in the chasing bunch

 

[painai]

Saxo trying to save team GC? Wouldn't protecting 2nd in GC be much better?

 

[zombo10]

He's going for the polka dots.

Yeah for sure but I mean for the stage win...

Their stratergy would counter both at the same time.

 

[Cobblestones]

He would have stayed with the larger group for longer.

Lol what the hell, Nibali is in the top 5 best climbers in world probably now don't you agree?


Edit: Top 3 even

Saxo-Sky alliance

 

[Ferminal]

Tosatto has nothing better to do I guess.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Tosatto has nothing better to do I guess.

Lol well that's true

 

[Cimber]

They're not doing that.

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

Changed your opinion yet?

 

[painai]

Yeah but being in the front of the peleton chasing they would be using up lots of energy, playing into Quintana's hands
