'Dale Posted July 18, 2013 Share The feed starts from 12h00 local today, they are broadcasting the whole stage. Probably not on our local media monopoly. Heard there is some Golf on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed Posted July 18, 2013 Share It seems they don't really present a united front - remember Ted King being skopped a few weeks back? Most of the riders wanted him to start but they did zilch, But in 2010, remember the slippery cobbled road in northern France, where many fell down, some injuries? I think Frank S broke his collarbone, the peloton rode together slowly to the finish, led by Fab Fabio., Maybe Jens should take the lead now. There was also the famous go-slow because of radios. Remember the footage of the snails crossing the road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlinkFan Posted July 18, 2013 Share What an absorbing Tour it's been thus far. Supreme riding by Froome.Burst into stardom for Quintana and Kwiatkowski.The fall of Evans, Gardener.The suprize of Belkin's Mollema and Ten Dam.The consistency of Sagan.The speed of light stuff by Kittel.The ferocity of Saxo's Alberto and Roman. And so on and so on. Impey in yellow :-) Warren_G, Steven Knoetze (sk27) and Andrew Steer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlinkFan Posted July 18, 2013 Share The queen stage baby yeah!!!Wonder what the total ascent will be. I actually think tomorrow (stage 19) will be the real killer... just the passes alone add up to 4300m! Edited July 18, 2013 by BlinkFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igknot Posted July 18, 2013 Share Today and tomorrow’s stages are just wrong, You are not supposed to do that to people, I am sure there is something in the Geneva convention that will be contravened in the next 48 hours. It is going to be awesome. You know it to be wrong but you are going to watch anyway. just like the reason the internet is there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally they would want to hit Alpe d'Huez for the first time with Froome alone, or with just Porte. They need big time, they're unlikely to get it on one climb.

Andrew Steer Posted July 18, 2013 Share Never been a Contador fan, but him not giving a toss about second place makes for an incredibly exciting race I really do feel a bit under the weather, nothing a few hours of R&R at home won't sort out Steven Knoetze (sk27) and rouxtjie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
