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

[Publicus]

Kirby just stated Froome and Contador would both struggle to stay with Nibali today

Easy enough to say since neither are here. Doesn't pass the smell test, but again, it's an opinion and within the realm of possibility.

 

[Arnout]

Reminds me of Vino on Alpe d'Huez in 2003.

Mayo, right?

 

[Akuryo]

Jacques Anquetil

Thanks very much!

 

[More Strides than Rides]

This is Nibali's training ride for next week.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

I think they would have left them about 5k ago. We've been robbed this year

Totally agree.

 

[thrawn]

Konig & Majka seem to be catching Nibali.

 

[trevim]

Poor Nieve, sacrificing his 10th place in GC for this

Don't worry, he'll get it. It's one of the few known things in a GT: Nieve will be 10th.
Rui Costa apparently 1.50 minutes behind Nibali, not bad.

 

[TheSpud]

Pinot & Valverde arguing on the way up - lol

 

[Red Rick]

What's happening

 

[Jelantik]

not taking anything from Nibali... YAWN... what a boring mountain stage. Nibali accelarates, .. game over.

 

[Publicus]

I understand why Nibali is smashing it, but sort of a d*ck move to take the win from Majka and Konig.

 

[DonMI6]

Valverde/Pinot are closer than I thought...Nibbles won't make a lot of time over them.

 

[rehy90]

majka should take a relay if hes strong enought to stay on konigs wheel

 

[Afrank]

What's happening

Nibali is crushing souls.

 

[BYOP88]

I like Porte's style, if you're going to lose time do it with style.

 

[Red Rick]

Imma laugh so hard if Majka wins

 

[Parrulo]

Don't worry, he'll get it. It's one of the few known things in a GT: Nieve will be 10th.
Rui Costa apparently 1.50 minutes behind Nibali, not bad.

Not in the Peraud group so it doesn't seem to be true

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Schleck group caught

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Mayo, right?

Same thing.

I remember Mayo won it, right? Wasn't Vino up there too? I can't remember.

 

[trevim]

I understand why Nibali is smashing it, but sort of a d*ck move to take the win from Majka and Konig.

It's probably Nibali's best chance to take Tour stages. He better enjoy it this year, Froome and Contador and Quitana won't be missing every year.

 

[Afrank]

Yet another great win for Lo Squao.

 

[Amsterhammer]

The Tour is over. Snore.

 

[Vino's Mum]

Bravo lo squalo!!!!!!!

 

[arvc40]

They'd be with him but I think they'd struggle to drop him...

Lol ..............

 

[Carols]

Nibali..Lo Squalo....GRANDE!!!!
