GrumpyOldGuy Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Well, as much as I hate to say it, it looks much like its all over bar the shouting. Unless something dramatic happens to Chris, the rest are just riding to hold position. I have kinda lost a bit of interest now unfortunately.
The Bull Shark Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Major psychological blow being handed by Froome to the other contenders. Especially Contador's team. I think today they paid for the break that they made in the crosswinds.
Pure Savage Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 What an awesome day!! Can't wait to see dish out some more pain to the other gc guys in the alps.
Pure Savage Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 I wonder how much Sky will be docked for feeding on the slopes of Ventoux? Saxo and Belkin also fed on the slopes. So doubt it's an issue
Mackie Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Tomorrow is a rest day. Tuesday might just well be another day of shocks & surprises with some big names suddenly finding their legs aren't working. Things are far from over. Lots of twists remaining in this soapie plot for sure.As far as the top step in Paris maybe, the tour is over as a race, wishful thinking....

I think today they paid for the break that they made in the crosswinds. Maybe, I dunno, seeing one guy ride away from the all worlds best, not just some of the best, all of the best, like they were taking a coffee break is just quite astonishing, frankly I cant see anyone competing now, Chris, Porte and even the team are just too good. Its a matter of saving your position now, the race is won. Mackie and TALUS 2
SyncSA Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 I'm happy for Froome but, It seemed super human, just feels a bit off. E1A104 1
Vetseun Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) I'm happy for Froome but, It seemed super human, just feels a bit off.I must admit, I did think the same Edited July 14, 2013 by T Man E1A104 1

_David_ Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Just read on twitter that Chris Froome has broken Lance Armstrong's record time for climbing Mont Ventoux in the Tour De France... Don't know if its true.
SyncSA Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Just read on twitter that Chris Froome has broken Lance Armstrong's record time for climbing Mont Ventoux in the Tour De France... Don't know if its true. Would be interesting to compare his times with "the era". Loved Sagan's wheelie! Such an entertainer Corrado and DIPSLICK 2

Eugene Oppelt Posted July 14, 2013 Author Posted July 14, 2013 Quintana must have dumped some energy shooting off the front that far from the end. I wonder what'll happen when he just sits with the group until they're weeded out. I think we know what'll happen.With experience, his timing will improve. What a talent. SyncSA and DIPSLICK 2
