2014 Tour de France July 18, Stage 13: Saint-Étienne - Chamrousse 197.5km

[Eclipse]

Nibali basically isolated from the foot of the climb.

 

[Sciatic]

Guys are going to get shed out back fast as its steep in early KMs

 

[Parrulo]

Not many movistars at the front either so this could be down the leaders pretty early

 

[l.Harm]

Finally Valverde is up to something.

 

[ILovecycling]

Valverde to attack 14km to go?

 

[nuvolablu]

Nibali basically isolated from the foot of the climb.

Kangert is still with him

 

[Publicus]

seriously, if Movistar and Sky are smart, they could take serious time on Nibbles (assuming Valverde and Porte have the form of course)

 

[Broth3r]

Team Gadret... not working for Gadret?

 

[Hugo87]

Kwiat already way down, it was expected and Purito too.

 

[Miburo]

seriously, if Movistar and Sky are smart, they could take serious time on Nibbles (assuming Valverde and Porte have the form of course)

highly doubt they can drop him but i hope it

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Rodriguez blown

 

[Pricey_sky]

Nibali only with 1 teammate left, if the others are ever going to take time on him this is the chance.

 

[ILovecycling]

suprising Murito for me

 

[thrawn]

Rodriguez popped.

 

[Afrank]

F***er! J-rod off the back. I had him for the win in the Great Grand Tour Game.

 

[Parrulo]

Only team Gadret left for Valverde.

Inb4 start and stop racing for 10k after Gadret is gone

 

[Miburo]

Gj katusha

 

[ILovecycling]

Costa dropping slowly

 

[Dr. Juice]

It's only been climbed once in 2001 as a MTT. Armstrong won it in 1:07:27.

Interestingly the KOM holder for the segment on Strava did it in 54:53.

1:07 isn't the time he needed to climb. Hmm I assume we will see it later on climbing-records when they compare this years time.

 

[ILovecycling]

Gj katusha

yep,they probably lost me 'couple' of euros

 

[trevim]

Costa dropping slowly

But surely

 

[JRTK73]

Sky are being smart here and doing nothing.

Rodriquez being dropped at least means the KoM will provide some interest.

 

[thrawn]

Thomas dropped. I guess Porte is isolated.

Edit: nvm, another Sky rider a few places behind him.

 

[ILovecycling]

Bardet looking weak

 

[Eclipse]

Thomas dropped. I guess Porte is isolated.

I think Nieve is there
