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

[Parrulo]

I see Saxo have Hernandez on the front of the breakaway and the rest of the team chasing him at the front of the peloton.

He is 7:30 up the road.

Saxo is tiring the peloton.

Finally someone goes for it

 

[Bakhjulet]

Nieve has been a better climb during the entire race and is a good descender.

I think he is the best bet.

Costa is a winner, when he smells victory...

 

[meat puppet]

navarro goes!

 

[wirral]

I'm not surprised they can't catch Rolland. He keeps getting substantial boosts from the car.

 

[painai]

chase group attacking each other...will only play into hands of rolland.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Wouldn't be surprised by a Jesus win here.

Well.... we jinxed him

I bet those bottles are empty, so he doesn't carry the weight up the mountain

And rain now.

I didn't read the early thread, but Eurosport said something about a little ramp to the finish, and there's something on the overall profile. Have any details been posted?

 

[Alpechraxler]

I'm scared.

More importantly is the Dawg scared?

 

[Afrank]

Rain coming apparently, hopefully it pours. The only thing that can inject some excitement into this stage.


Edit: and hopefully they make use of this.

 

[Scirea]

There is a storm coming. A very bad storm.
