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

[roundabout]

Didier has been dropped so Tossatto can ease up now.

 

[Bakhjulet]

Moviestar, Saxo and Kathusa have no ambition of winning the tour. They have given up now, Froome's advantage is too big to even try. Froome will never lose 5 minutes from now on.

 

[wirral]

The window has been shut.

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

Rolland should lose a pile of time on the descent.

 

[Cimber]

Exactly... That's the sad part.

Well we could discuss... who is your favorite teletubbie?

Movistar and katusha gave up a week ago.

Saxo gave up today.

Saxo gave up after yesterday but Katusha and Movistar should have been inspired by the result yesterday

 

[manafana]

rolland doing his best to get back in his awful polka dot get up

 

[Ferminal]

Movistar and katusha gave up a week ago.

Saxo gave up today.

Saxo gave up somewhere between Luchon and Guchen...

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Just think, every single stage was like this one last year.

 

[Poursuivant]

Has flecha been dropped from chasers?

Not gonna risk it are they

 

[painai]

peleton seem to be losing time again

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

At least there's no risk of the forum crashing today.

 

[painai]

Well there is also the KOM race going on...

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Are we really discussing team classification on the hardest stage in the Tour? Sad

Pathetic development in the sport.

 

[Pulpstar]

Peloton is losing ground to... Rolland

 

[Bakhjulet]

Purito and Quintana must at least try to shake Contador and Kreuziger on the last climb, otherwize there is a chance that Contador and Kreuziger will distance Purito and Quintana on the descent.

Purito is a fine descender

 

[wirral]

Nieve not bothered about mountain points?

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

Interesting that Nieve didnt compete for the mountain's points there.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Please let the peloton fail

The guys who turned to race today:

Rolland
Hesjedal
Navarro
Nieve

Great tour this year in comparison, pity valverde and costa dropped out of contention.

 

[Bexon30]

Was there a scenario that could have seen the GC change for yellow today? The only way would be to go on Glandon or descent. But hitting for home from that distance is impossible?, right. I'm surprised one GC rider didn't try. Quintana has nothing in the tank? It would've took the race apart imo

What did exactly Nieve do so far?
