Tour de France 2013

he looks like he has completely emptied himself!

Froome didn't look steady on his feet.

HEre.

The record for final 15km is 45:47, Pantani did 46, @Scienceofsport has Froome at 49

Mollema is in bits. Coughing his toenails up in interview

Fuglsang was surprisingly composed. Smiling and drinking.

It'd be nice to see Mollema and ten Dam finish 2nd and 3rd. Anyone but cuntador basically.

If they do Rabobank will be well fucked off.

Prediction. Froome is going to do another AX 3 climb.

This

Diesel perfume advert can do one

So much rep

So, how's about a sweepstake - Number of "you-know"s per minute in Brailsford post race interviews? It's like he has Tour-ettes (ba dum tish).

Current estimation is >10 "YK"s/min.

Hope this stage is on itv 4 later. Doing work on a Sunday :(

Wow that was exciting. Who knew Froome's gonads were that massive going for it from that far out, he seemed to have more to lose than gain at that stage. Chapeau. Sky, boring? pffft. As Boardman said that ride had real fler, I think I know what he meant.

Will they dork with each other?

With a little dorking with Quint

not dorking out so well for quint

Is this a Liggettism?

Holy shit. Now there is a result I wasn't expecting.

Kreuziger more likely to finish in the top 3 than Contador now I reckon. He looks a lot stronger and not under pressure to attack.

This stage has Tommy V all over it. If he's not been dropped yet. #noaccesstotelly

A bloody great stage today.

Schleck doing some cx racing, Quintana/Kwiatowski in a really great BYR battle, Sagan doing wheelies and Skelator fucking with the lot of them.

Steaks, beers and drugs for them all.

It's a ride that will go down in history but the question remains, is Laurens Ten Dam now the Strava KOM on Ventoux?

Like a bawss

LTD edtition

Oh good grief.

What's the whole thing about food bags on the top of a climb about. Could I really land them in trouble?

Lifted directly from Wattage:

"UCI Rule 2.3.027

Feeding is prohibited on climbs, descents and during the first 50 and last 20 km.

The commissaires panel may reduce the distance of 50 kilometres mentioned above, depending on atmospheric conditions and the category, type and length of the race. Such a decision must be communicated to interested parties before the start of the race.

It was an obvious and illegal feed. I hate to spoil a great race and stage, but you have to park your car for THREE DAYS at least, to get to that spot. This was planned, it was public, and it was specific........"
