Tour de France 2013 *spoilers*

[VamP]

Apparently there is now rain on parts of the course...

 

[The Couch]

Anyone know the cut-off computation for today's TT ? 10%,20% ? There are already a couple of riders around the 15% mark...

I think it's 25% so no one should feel scared... which is weird because most riders were quite afraid before hand

 

[Crackle]

That descent off the first climb is a real tester and just a bit scary

Teejay leads

 

[The Couch]

Izaguirre - I hadn't considered him to be honest!

I don't think many people think about Euskaltel when talking TT
Still... my Westra guess is down the drain

And just now... Tejay is blowing even Izaguirre away

 

[VamP]

Teejay leads

Who would've thunk it?

Edit: who'd bet against this being the winning time given the worsening conditions out there now?

blimey -heavy rain

Who would've thunk it?

I suppose he's fresh, having done naff all so far!

 

[The Couch]

And looking at the descent of Jeanneson, Tejay might have been the last one in with a decent time

 

[Dave Davenport]

Froome would be wiser to stay off the moaning/twittersphere. Fair enough to be upset straight after a close call, but rather petulant to be still on about it hours after the event.

+1

He's been saving himself

Oooh. Shame Nibali isn't at the Tour...

 

[rich p]

I hope Porte soft pedals this one in light of what's to come

He's already said he plans to. Of course, his idea of soft-pedalling isn't quite the same as mine...

I bet Pinot is glad he went home!
