'Dale Posted July 17, 2013 Share Great ride by Froome, just hope he has left enough for the two little hills tomorrow? I think those two climbs are 13.1 km or something at 8% gradient... INDIVIDUALLY. :-O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Luke. Posted July 17, 2013 Share Contador is digging deep and ready to try anything to claw back those minutes... and he has some good allies too, on his own team, and possibly on others as well. These next three stages should be good value. SyncSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactically Saxo' has an advantage with 2nd and 3rd on GC.Gonna be good to watch it unfold. r0adrunner and SyncSA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaper Posted July 17, 2013 Share Think Porte will be a machine tomorrow and will go all out if not stop but limit the attacks against Froome. He has recovered and this is the type of fight he relishes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cav' Posted July 17, 2013 Share Plenty of men have ruined cycling in recent years: Hein Verbruggen, Pat McQuaid, Pierre Bordry, Lance Armstrong and Travis Tygart, to name a few. However, evil deeds of those in the past pale in comparison to plotting of an evil French duo. Between them, Jean-François Pescheux and Christian Prudhomme have conspired to bring down the sport of professional cycling once and for all. The plot? To send 200 of the world's best riders up the most difficult climb in the world, not once, but twice! One ascent of the monstrous 21 hairpins is usually enough to end the careers of a few, it is unknown how many riders will maintain their sanity as they descend once more towards the feared Bourg d'Oisans turnoff, towards the final frontier. Once a sport where the strongest and smartest man won, the ASO stalwarts have turned it into a farce. The man, if any, who emerges at the top will do so not through any personal attributes, but sheer luck at having managed to emerge unscathed passing through a pack of a million blithering fools not once, but twice. shaper, igknot, EZRider and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the best team to get through it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMartin Posted July 17, 2013 Share One of the things I like about Cavendish is his respect for the Tour. He gets over the mountains and makes it to the finish every time. Unlike a certain Italian who used to take a 2 week mid July holiday every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
