'Dale Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 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
Lucky Luke. Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 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

shaper Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 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!
Cav' Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 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.

Thorn199 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 The sprinters and other 'non climbers' must be a tad miff about the next few days ....Mark Cavendish @MarkCavendish 16 Jul So if I want to get to Paris, now come 5 of the hardest consecutive days I'll ever face on a bike. In the best team to get through it though
HappyMartin Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 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.
