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

[cineteq]

Horner behind Costa, likely he wasn't doing much better than he was.

It doesn't mean much. He's saving himself

 

[Poursuivant]

Majka with his best Valverde impersonation. Wheelsucks then wins the sprint for 2nd.

Yer thst annoyed me and I had money on him too. Valverde... Well we know about his antics. I hate criticising these riders because they are suffering like hell, but for Valverde to attack after doing zero work was lower than an ants love member.

 

[Parrulo]

Costa loses a minute to the Peraud group

With tomorrow being another mountain stage, he is pretty screwed.

Maybe he will be a bit better in the pyrenees

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Valverde did more work than Majka today. Scary.

Valverde raced properly from what I could see. Made the first attack. Worked with Pinot to distance the rest. Got dropped by Nibali. Worked with Pinot then tried to drop him which failed so carried on working with him afterwards. Just normal racing

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Here he comes

Great to see that Porte has rediscovered his 2010/11 climbing form. Hope he can keep it for the rest of the Tour and year.

 

[jaylew]

Valverde is such a d-bag.

For racing?

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Thomas leading Porte up now.

 

[Fzotrlool]

Porte demoralized.

Exactly this.

 

[Aditya]

Porte will go full *** on a stage and no one will even care.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Great Ride by König an Majka, they attacked early in the climbe and Tool Time from anyone but lo squalo.

 

[Arnout]

Lol Sky. Still riding for Porte with everything they can assemble. Like they are robots.

 

[Afrank]

I think Woodburn was joking that Tejay's helping Bardet keep the white jersey by pacing him to the line the last couple of km

Ah okay, my mistake Woodburn.

 

[woodburn]

Tejay's not eligible for white.

I know. Bardet been wheel sucking him for the last few Ks.

 

[Akuryo]

Wow, König jumped from 19th to 9th.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

So what does the B_____ in Plan B_____ stand for.

Brave, Bold, B O L L O C K S ?

 

[meat puppet]

Also passed the IQ test by riding with majka and konig for a while. Bet the numbers will not be thru the roof.

 

[Alcanelo]

A French person on the podium just shows how f*cked this years tour is

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

For racing?

For racing like a d-bag.

 

[arvc40]

Great riding from Nibali. Be strange next year when he's still 3rd favourite with the book markers.

 

[Hugo87]

Wow, König jumped from 19th to 9th.

That's impossible, that GC is not correct i guess.

 

[DonMI6]

I'm surprised by the scale of Porte's implosion... I might have expected a minute or two but he really looks awful.

 

[jaylew]

Yer thst annoyed me and I had money on him too. Valverde... Well we know about his antics. I hate criticising these riders because they are suffering like hell, but for Valverde to attack after doing zero work was lower than an ants love member.

Are you kidding me? What race did you watch?? He attacked 1st and did the vast majority of the work on the front when he was with Nibs, Pinot and Ten Dam.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

König climbs a lot in the GC. He could still top 5 even!

 

[GroupDK]

Nibali // respect..

this is your tour, and what Contador could or not do.. aint really relevant, as he is not there anymore..

I dont think Froome was where he suppose to be, to be thrue contender..

Nibali put it all clear today, and if he can keep it to Paris, he surely deserves to take the Grand tour titel and not least does it in a very superior mannor..

Astana confirms it was a bottle that took Jakob Birdsong Down..(and he furius to say the least)
