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

[Dutchsmurf]

If Froome was supposedly nervous for racing ahead on that hill a few days ago, can't the same be said about Saxo here?

Kinda a big difference between attacking on your own and using your team to ride at the front.

 

[Afrank]

Another crash.

Brajkovic down.

 

[the sceptic]

Brajkovic down

 

[JimPanzen]

When I see all the chaotic movement within the bunch i would say...crash imminent.

Edit: And there you go

They don't want Contador to crash out and don't want him lost time cause of the wind.

Isn't that what any team wants for their GC rider?

Bad day for Astana...

 

[Dutchsmurf]

Most actually send some team mates back. But hey, I don't care, I was just responding to a Cav fanboy who said Sagan did exactly the same as Cav, which was clearly not the case.

Most riders aren't worth sending people back for, so they have to get back on their own. But those riders also aren't worth putting a camera on, so you never see it.

 

[Kender]

I was thinking there was going to be a crash there with the speed they went through that traffic furniture

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

He's not exactly known for giving excuses.

The trolls on here who like to pretend he's in Cav's league do.

 

[uconnryan]

Jani down and appears to be done....never mind he's back up

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Brajkovic is so skinny it hurts to simply see him.

 

[Finn84]

Awful Tour for Astana so far.

 

[Miburo]

The trolls on here who like to pretend he's in Cav's league do.

Only idiots or trolls indeed argue that. Cav is in a league of his own.

 

[The Principal Sheep]

Kessiakoff already abandoned and now Brajkovic looks hurt too.

 

[Flamin]

Most riders aren't worth sending people back for, so they have to get back on their own. But those riders also aren't worth putting a camera on, so you never see it.

Of course. I mean when a leader is behind.

 

[Afrank]

Jani back up and riding. Hope it's nothing serious.

I'm not criticising them, but I also didn't critisise Froome for what he did.

 

[Kender]

He's not exactly known for giving excuses.

His excuse yesterday was he was bumped off his lead out man by another rider... Well that's sprinting

Greipel not in Cav's league - in sprints or making excuses.

 

[JimPanzen]

He said he himself ****ed up the last corner...sounds like self critisism to me. But anyway...it's getting serious. Let's wait for the sprint.

 

[Miburo]

I'm not criticising them, but I also didn't critisise Froome for what he did.

But what Froome did didn't have much purpose. Porte was in front of him so he was safe for the descend.

It shows you that Froome was afraid for the descend. What saxo does is what each GC team does.

Peleton Split?

 

[Afrank]

Peleton Split?

Just thinning out under a high pace I think.

Edit: looks like they've dropped more then a few riders though.

 

[Kender]

Was that cadel asserting his position?
