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

[Parrulo]

Relax he's at the front

Because the pace seriously dropped.

 

[Miburo]

Because the pace seriously dropped.

Oh well ok then, he also seemed to be leading pappy

 

[staubsauger]

Kadri is done. Didn't expect that.

Hopefully it means Bardet drunk all orange juice at breakfast and will fly later

 

[ILovecycling]

If they ease up,breakaway battle should be really interesting!
Demarchi vs bakelants vs mate


Astana riding slow now

Roche/Rogers should have attacked by now. Nothing to lose with the pace being this slow.

The chances of the breakaway making it are 0.00000001%

And that's being generous!

 

[l.Harm]

Europcar and Katusha tactics?

 

[Eclipse]

Horndog bringing Costa up to the front.

You never know

 

[cantalupe]

Papy still nursing Rui Costa.

 

[Publicus]

They were really hauling when they hit this climb. They've promptly slowed back to a relative crawl. This isn't the way to gain time over Nibali.

 

[petiagos]

Almost 4 minutes

 

[classicomano]

So wtf were Europcar and Katusha doing on the flat?

 

[meat puppet]

horner sat down. playing possum obviously

 

[thrawn]

So wtf were Europcar and Katusha doing on the flat?

Well Katusha I understand a bit. Riding to make sure Kadri can't take both climbs today. Europcar, no idea.

 

[ILovecycling]

Lol this is great tactics by peloton (katusha,green men etc)

Is Visconti still riding on the front?

 

[Broth3r]

Good placement by Horner and Costa. I'd say it's a good sign, but Rui kinda has the habit of being very well placed early in the race, but too far back when it heats up...

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Pappy at the front.

 

[winkybiker]

Paul a few minutes ago.."Here we are looking at the leaders, except we're not, because of de Marchi further up the road."

 

[ILovecycling]

Well Katusha I understand a bit. Riding to make sure Kadri can't take both climbs today. Europcar, no idea.

demarchi has same amount of points as Kadri

 

[Fight.The.Power]

What a fantastic looking mountain !

 

[ILovecycling]

gps trolling?

 

[thrawn]

demarchi has same amount of points as Kadri

Well same tactic still applies I guess. Keep it within reach so he doesn't win the stage too. They just ran out of legs once they hit the climb.

GPS? 3.30, 3:00 and now 2:20 instantly.
