2014 Tour de France, Stage 18: Pau–Hautacam (145.5 Km)

[mr. tibbs]

Feed died rigth as Pinot hit the line. How much time did he get on Peraud? Valverde?

 

[Arnout]

Lol Pinot already doing a Sky.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Vino looked very happy in the Astana car

 

[Devilen]

Still ... Majka is KOM ... certainly a good haul together with 3 stage wins for Tinkoff Saxo without Contrador

 

[phanatic]

My local commentators said it was in 1974.

Eurosport reported four road stages was last done by Mercx in 74.

Feed died rigth as Pinot hit the line. How much time did he get on Peraud? Valverde?

Few secs on Peraud (nothing in the scheme of things), 50 seconds on Valverde.

 

[trevim]

Frank Schleck just like 2008 with Luxembourg jersey open

 

[maxmartin]

A story book finish.

1. Yellow Jersey
2. White Jersey
3. Polka dota Jersey.

haha I never thought that

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

LOL @ Pinot "warming down"

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Always nice that the polka dots is won by a quality rider. Very happy that Nibali didn't sweep that competition aswell

 

[Afrank]

1:15 on Peraud, 1:59 on Valverde. From Nibali that is.


Valverde in 4th?!!

Yeah, I was worried when seeing that he decided to go head to head with the best to defend his jersey. I am mightily impressed with his ride, especially since he went solo for over 5km on this climb

Actually tried to get a stage win instead of riding defensive. Not strong enough but I can respect that

 

[Pricey_sky]

Congratulations Nibali, even as a Froome fan I admit he is a worthy Tour winner, let's hope all the favourites are healthy next year.

Great ride from Pinot, hope he can hold on in the TT.

 

[Climbing]

Nice bossing as expected!

 

[luckyboy]

Pinot 14 secs over Piti overall. He will lose that in the TT.

Zubeldia up to 10th I think

 

[mr. tibbs]

Few secs on Peraud (nothing in the scheme of things), 50 seconds on Valverde.

So final podium in Paris is likely to be:

Nibs
Peraud
Pinot

Wow France

 

[vcampbell]

Lance won 5 stages in that tour, it is not 4 stages though

I guess they ruled out Lance because of reasons

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Zubeldia in the top 10, passes Rolland

 

[GuyIncognito]

TJ will get 5th overall

 

[burning]

It is really funny that Peraud will likely finish 2nd

 

[Afrank]

GC

Nibali
Pinot
Peraud
Valverde
Bardet
Van Garderen
Mollema
Ten Dam
Konig

 

[lemoogle]

So final podium in Paris is likely to be:

Nibs
Peraud
Pinot

Wow France

You're missing piti in 2nd. Wish peraud wasnt in there though personally.

 

[Akuryo]

Zubeldia in the top 10, passes Rolland

He did it again. Without anyone noticing him. Good for me, since I have him in the CQ game

 

[GuyIncognito]

I guess they ruled out Lance because of reasons

No, Merckx is the answer for road stages, Armstrong for all kinds of stages

 

[webvan]

Vino on French TV, WTF are they even talking to that low life...
