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

Argos for the worst team in team GC? I mean is there any rider in that team who can climb at least a bit?

 

[Warhawk]

Tommy, you so crazy.

 

[Publicus]

Thank you FDJ!

 

[Miburo]

Thomas dropped, what is this madness?

I guess preparing for TTT.

Doesn't seem so.

I don't understand how a World Tour team can allow itself something like that. Or be allowed. I guess it's all the more proof UCI ranks don't work.

He is hurt from yesterday

Greenedge will give them a good run

 

[Miburo]

He is hurt from yesterday

Did he crash that hard? What injuries?

btw other skyborg also dropped

 

[Hayabusa]

This is the type of racing I like to see, still looks good for a Sagan/EBH/Kristoff type of rider at the moment

 

[ILovecycling]

Is Greipel still in the bunch?

 

[hrotha]

Doesn't seem so.

It's the clever thing to do if you have limited resources, which is why you don't see Euskaltel trying to contend the classics.

He crashed really hard. He has a pelvis injury.

 

[l.Harm]

Pointless attack if FDJ is pulling in the peloton

 

[roundabout]

oh, only half the climb done. Cool, I thought they were on the second bit already.

 

[Publicus]

Yes. It was serious enough that he went to the hospital to get X rays of his hip

 

[Hugo87]

Maybe Bouhanni is becoming a mini-Sagan.

Edit - Guess not!

 

[vcampbell]

Millar for yellow!

 

[webvan]

Why on earth are FDJ drilling it like that ?! Pinot to attack ?

 

[Ruby United]

Where's EBH?

Euskaltel was limited to mostly climbers (Basques) until this year, so that may change in the near future.

But even if they don't have a GC rider, they could at least have some climbers. I just can't understand how they're WT and Europcar isn't.

Nacer Bouhanni

 

[Miburo]

2:51 for Kittel, he's not coming back, same with cav.

Cannondale will make sure they don't come back

 

[Ruby United]

Cav's 2 mins down on FDJ.

 

[roundabout]

Wait, FDJ.fr () have dropped Bouhanni?

 

[webvan]

Nacer Bouhanni

Well he's been dropped, so?
