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

If valverde can gap the rest enough, he might do someting crazy on nibali in the next days to win this tour.

But he won't, and he's right, nibali is way too good.

Contador: "Can you believe this sh!t?"
Froome: "It's amateur night."

 

[Escarabajo]

No need to be sarcastic. Top 10 was the goal and the guy is sick so it's not because he isn't good enough

Yeah, but the team orders are stupid! independent of Costa being sick or not.

 

[Akuryo]

Really happy that Pinot can hang on to Valverde and Nibali. And Porte indeed has his "one bad day"

 

[fowlyetti]

Porte 2'40" down already. They better go for stages now.. ridiculous wasting time on Porte now

 

[DonMI6]

Pinot has been impressive. He looks strong today.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

If the 2nd group doesn't work together they will lose 2 minutes to Valverde/Pinot and then the podium is decided

 

[cineteq]

Yeah, but the team orders are stupid! independent of Costa being sick or not.

Excatly...Horner gets no respect no matter where he goes...

 

[Fzotrlool]

Porte, 2:40 behind.

 

[Afrank]

LOL, Porte at 2:40.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Porte losing major time.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Pinot giving it plenty. Hope he can last the distance.

 

[Broth3r]

Valverde and Pinot putting zero pressure on Nibali.

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Gap is narrowing slightly between the four and dozen

 

[trevim]

Nice one, they would have finished by now

 

[Arnout]

At least Valverde makes sure he doesn't have to worry about the rest if he ever comes in a position to really challenge Nibali.

 

[thrawn]

Porte to do a Floyd tomorrow

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Valverde doing the majority of the work here.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

König and Majka are impressive. They are keeping the gap..

 

[More Strides than Rides]

If Ten Dam can hold those wheels, he stands to gain a lot, and Mollema can relax for a few k

EDIT: and now he's toast

 

[trevim]

On the bright side for Sky, epic Nieve is free for the remaining of the Tour mountain stages

 

[Aditya]

Porte to lose around 5 mins and go full *** in another MTF stage ala 2013 and gain some time back?

 

[Miburo]

Majka better in this tour than in the giro.

 

[Afrank]

Bardet attacks.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Porte might as well walk up the climb so at least he loses enough time to go into the breaks. Although he's cycling slow enough that perhaps he doesn't need to walk!
