Re: Re:

Sagan/Cummings odds-on favourites. Rui Costa perhaps. The rest can only win if the stars align.

Since when is Cummings better than Greg van Avermaet?

Well, they have the same number of Grand Tour stage wins.

 

[Leffe_Bruin]

I predicted 1. Sagan 2. GvA 3. EBH at the start of this stage. Hope this will happen because then I will win .... nothing

 

[Gigs_98]

Nibali will use the Vino powers given to him by the Astana jersey and win.

 

[sir fly]

Not a bad situation on the road.
Etixx is probably more thinking about tomorrow.
It's on Katusha and DE. But I doubt the latter are too interested in.
At the front like in a classic, as mentioned.

you mean credit card?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I see that IAM is now going for it. The prize as the stupidest team of the day, that is.

Aha, so GvA managed to catch the breakaway. Okay then, that puts him on the same level as Peter and Steve.

I guess the wet roads and unpleasant weather will accelerate the peloton.

Rumour has it Froome has a 54 teeth chain ring to attack over final climb (Lets hope for something...)

That's for descending and rolling.

I'm not sure about descent in this conditions.

Well Landa is in the break, so there's a chance

 

[classicomano]

IAM is a miserable team.

 

[sir fly]

Don't be surprised if Cummings tries to roll off on some lump preceding Côte de Saint-Ferréol.
Sagan should follow him.

hagen not sprinting => cav really think he cant contest the green

 

[doperhopper]

Nibs planning something with Cummings...

What's left?
Tomorrow, Stage 14, Bern and Paris.
We'll learn in Bern, I guess.

the same that suggests Vroom is going to win Rio ITT using his new marginal circus trick - aeropedalling, a bit of variation on Obree-style

Nibs planning to go full *** to respect the glory of the previous TDF stage winner in Revel...?

Wonder what his gearing will be in Megeve?

 

[doperhopper]

well, for few seconds, then he'll leave it on Durbo as before

How tough is the wee bump near the finish?
