2013 Tour de France, Stage 2: Bastia - Ajaccio 156Km

[Kender]

Van poppel still there? If he or Millar finish in the same time as today's winner then they will be in yellow (van poppel would if he's there)

 

[Ferminal]

Has anyone seen Samuel Dumoulin? (I know he is hard to spot)

I think he dropped ages ago, at least there was a small AG2R rider in the Kittel group earlier.

Van Poppel (Danny) with Kittel.

 

[b.broadhurst]

will Garmin give it a go or will they play for Millar?

 

[Ferminal]

Kash to crush all on the hill.

 

[Kender]

Van Poppel (Danny) with Kittel.

So Millar could be in yellow

 

[all_in]

De Gendt in Kittel group?

 

[Kender]

will Garmin give it a go or will they play for Millar?

Millar will get yellow by default if he finishes in he same time as winner

 

[markene2]

Kash to crush all on the hill.

Go kash!

[b.broadhurst]

Lopes does not have the form of the early season, he is in Kittel group

 

[wirral]

Millar in yellow, unless the lead group can generate time gaps.

 

[scholar]

Millar will get yellow by default if he finishes in he same time as winner

Doesn't it depend on his position in today's stage as well?

 

[Aditya]

How many Radioshack riders are there in the Peloton?

 

[Michele]

Greipel's group is 40" back.
Some team cars were stopped by jury.

 

[Kender]

Doesn't it depend on his position in today's stage as well?

Only if there is a time gap

So Millar could be in yellow

it will be decided on points. yesterday everybody got the same time. and Millar got 4th. I fear that today winner could get the jersey

5 or 6.I saw Andy,Kloden and Gallopin.

Not done on points. It's done on finishing position on the first stage until such time as there is a time gap

 

[Ferminal]

He could easily lose 6 places or whatever it is to Rojas (or more likely, Impey).

 

[Carlo Algatrensig]

it will be decided on points. yesterday everybody got the same time. and Millar got 4th. I fear that today winner could get the jersey

Doesnt it go on aggregate position so of those left in the front group Millar (4th) and Rojas (9th) are the best placed from yesterday. So Millar has to finish within 5 place of Rojas today to stay ahead of him on GC. That is of course assuming they finish in the same time.

 

[Aditya]

5 or 6.I saw Andy,Kloden and Gallopin.

I was worried about Kloden and Tony. They did kiss the turf yesterday.

 

[goggalor]

Not done on points. It's done on finishing position on the first stage until such time as there is a time gap

Seems very odd. Why would where you finished on stage 1 matter?

 

[l.Harm]

I thought they'll add up yesterdays position and todays.

 

[Boardslide]

He's carrying more weight this year as he has been struggling to recover in the middle of the tour the last few years

Surprised he's worse than Kittel though

Bringing Tony home

 

[Old&slow]

I don't think the Cat 3 climb will be pivotal. Rather I think the attacks that matter will happen at 2 km going up a 500m 5% average grade followed by a 1.5 kms of downhill to the finish.
