2013 Tour de France, Stage 6: Aix-en-Provence→Montpellier (176.5 Km)

Why are G and Kennaugh on the front and not Stannard and Kiry?

Do you use injured riders early?

 

[Marco Pantani]

Why no break today?

Why no break today?

Sprinters' teams kept it together for the intermediate sprint, and now all the GC teams are at the front going at lightning speed because of the crosswinds.

 

[Finn84]

Might be very bad timing with that mechanical issue for Gadret.

Allright thanks

 

[The Principal Sheep]

bad couple of minutes for Ag2r, punctures I presume for Kadri then Gadret.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Kessiakoff about to abandon?

 

[The Principal Sheep]

Kessiakoff about to abandon?

So I'm hearing...

Edit: Gone

 

[Linkinito]

So I'm hearing...

Now confirmed.

 

[the sceptic]

Kessiakoff out

 

[roosters76]

I was talking about tomorrow. I assumed you also meant tomorrow, because if you think Sagan's going to get a top-three finish on Saturday then I, err, respectfully disagree.

I see your point, well, I guess I should have used the Sunday stage to better illustrate my point.

 

[uconnryan]

Kessiakoff has abandoned. Wow

 

[Finn84]

Kessiakoff out. Astana down to seven.

 

[MatParker117]

No attacks due to the wind by general agreement.

 

[ElChingon]

Why no break today?

Maybe the teams have finally caught on that on flat stages the sprinter teams will reel them in anyway.

 

[sultanofhyd]

No attacks due to the wind by general agreement.

Not really. They are just tired, there are more open sections with stronger winds to come.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Sometimes this "general agreement" thing sucks.

 

[Finn84]

Ruben Perez has "few" bottles.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Contador looks sore imo. Grimacing a bit

 

[trevim]

No classics riders that can force some sort of breakaway into the wind?

they are all in teams with sprinters or gc favs

 

[Taxus4a]

Now, first dangerous zone.

 

[Pulpstar]

Flecha .. !

 

[b.broadhurst]

Now, first dangerous zone.

no, too many trees which is creating a tailwind

 

[sultanofhyd]

no, too many trees

Those trees are doing the Harlem Shake.
