Tour de France 2013

I give it 4 hours...

MANXMAN wins. Bait taken, as always.

Is that another crash right at the end?! No commentary, only visuals

Perfectly done.

Well done Cav! Beautiful crash at the end there.

Is Kirby going to lose his shit at the end of every stage? It's getting a bit old.

Ebh!!

Well in EBH!

Cav then chute!

Rolland double decker..

Beautiful crash

?

Should've added '/s'

Very unfortunate time to crash.

MANXMAN wins. Bait taken, as always.

Hehehe!

Yay Cav.

Looked too easy. Any news on who went down on the last corner? Just saw a Lotto rider looking a bit bruised...

PhilGil was mentioned, not sure otherwise.

Unreal lead-out by Steegmans. He makes it so easy.

Nice work by EBH but all he did was sit on Cav's wheel. If he'd actually tried to go round him for the win, he's have come nowhere. Obviously that wasn't an option for Greipel or Sagan.

who is that Lotto rider who comes all the way round to try to block at the end?! Riding like a dick!

Cav... can't take it away from the guy. Don't really like mass sprints/sprinters as such, but fuck me, Cav is the man.

^^^ it wasn't an option for Greipel because there was am EBH in the way.

I think Greipel was always going to try and go round Cavendish. No point sitting on his wheel and settling for second.

He got fourth, so of course he would.

Regarding the time limit... During the team time trial, if and when applicable, would the rules apply to an entire team - say for the sake of argument there was a crash involving the team's GC guy and everybody was waiting for him and/or slowing down to see him through?

Back in the days when I first got involved in (competitive) cycling, TdF team time trials would sometimes exceed 120km resulting in 20-25min time loss between top and bottom teams; maybe back then the rules were different?

EBH riding clever. Nice work.
Cav is going well this year.

Lynchman: In exceptional circumstances the comms can overrule and time ruling. And do what the hell they want, to keep people in the race.

That much I know; was merely wondering if there were any specific rules regarding such a situation.

Can't get behind Chris Froome, looks like a frigging alien
