well fan for life Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I wish we had a fully commited Nibali this year. He's the only cyclist on the planet who could compete with Froome over this sort of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyerTon Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 The last mountain stage today, unusually the day before the last stage as well. I can't remember a time when there's been less than a minute between positions 2,3,4,5 going into the last Satuday. All to play for today. Is Froome out of sight? Can't see him blowing a five minute lead unless he has a really bad day. http://www.letour.com/le-tour/2013/us/days-stage.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 £5 each way on Bertie at 16/1. Let's hope he had steak for dinner last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lau03143 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 These motorbikes need to leve more space. And the spectators! So of them get right in the riders faces. Must be really offputting! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lau03143 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Froome and Quintana attack with about 1k to go! Froome's winning this tour now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 So the big question for tomorrow is can Cav win on the Champs-Élysées again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Nomad Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 So the big question for tomorrow is can Cav win on the Champs-Élysées again?He'll be short odds, taken it out the last 4 or 5 years on the trot. Knows how to judge that sprint to perfection. Maybe the dark will confuse him. On that, Froome will be wearing some special kind of yellow jersey which glows gold under the streetlights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the same this year as last though - a British yellow jersey leading out a British world champ for a British team was nae bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Pretty poor odds all round this year I feel. I've plonked for a few KOM bets. Quintana at 10/1, Dan Martin at 16/1, Rodriquez at 20/1 and Mollema at 66/1. Pleasing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year I would get rid of Cofodis and bring in Columbia. Hopefully that would make Sky bring in Henao and Uran (who should have been there this year anyway). I remember the days of Cafe Columbia. Those guys were really watchable. The drugs over there are really good, so I've been told anyway. Ban race radios as well while we are it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) The inclusion of the Arc de Triumph is a masterstroke by ASO. Surely has to be an evening finish for the race from now on. Simply stunning. Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Pie & Bovril mobile app Edited July 21, 2013 by kiddy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Cav's lead out disintegrated wi 750 to go & he found himself 4 back & on the wrong wheel. Left himself wi far too much to do in that company, but the back wheel kick up had zero effect on the outcome. A good win for Kittel none the less, thoroughly deserved on form shown, this last 3 weeks.

Musketeer Gripweed Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 They really need to do this at night every year. This will be the wake up call Cav/Omega probably needed. Chavanel or Eisel to help him soon? Roll on Wiggins v Froome next year. Let the best druggie win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnash Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I don't see the big deal about it being at "night", or as most people call it, evening. Anyway, great sprint finish showing just how close it is between the top 3. Personally I don't think you can quite call Kittel a better sprinter than Cav yet - it's just one GT and Cav's train has been suspect at best. We'll see what happens next year when he has Renshaw back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagan is the real man though, absolute hero. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
