Surely it's time to put the streetlights on
Tour De France 2013
- Thread starter mariachi-19
- Start date
This is great, this.
I can see sky helping OPQS and Cav at the end
Bloody breakaway better get caught

Griepel, anyone?
Cav so close to falling there
Well done kittel

Great day for Kenyan cycling
Still amazes me how they keep their balance when powering a bicycle along at almost 70km/hr in those sprint finishes.
Great end to a fantastic Tour.

So who will be in Leeds for the Grand Départ 2014 and the Yorkshire Dales to see Le Tour Yorkshire on July 5 2014.
I'm thinking of going, hopefully I'll have passed my driving test then and have this penciled in as my first outing.
Nice one. I lived in Swaledale so hopefully will be able to stay with friends and see them pass through here ....
Seems like a down to earth person..Quite like his character.
I think it's the nature of an endurance event.
The end of Le Mans isn't that exciting either, the teams often wait for each other down Mulsanne & cross the line together in formation. It's the spectacle of the stage though, the riders charging up & down the Champs Elysees, the sprint finish etc.
I'm sure if it had been close yesterday, then it would pan out differently & they would have raced right to the wire. The hard work goes in over the whole 3 weeks. Like the Champions League, if you're top of the group, they play a weakened side, the hard work's already been done.

Good analogy, Colin.
I still would prefer a proper race, mind.

Even an attempted break, with say contador, wouldn't win anyway. Its just impossible. Too many teams want their printers at the end.
One of the best tours I've seen. Starting in Corsica was an inspired choice. Froome is the man now, and Quintana may push him in future. Don't think anyone else is at the same level or potential as Froome - not the top Spaniards or Nibali or Wiggins or Porte.
What next for Wiggins, I wonder? I doubt he'll want to be understudy to Froome.
Yep - my missus is from the Dales, so going to head up to the in-laws and watch it.
Can't see him staying with Sky. He should have plenty of teams to choose from to lead
Wiggins probably concentrate more on gold in Rio.....didn't seem overly interested in the epic training required anymore to do the Tour or Giro.
Though I think he'll ride next year with the English start. But there probably won't be another Tour tailor made for him to win rather than Froome.

Lance always has to get his opinion in doesn't he
He's basically saying it was impossible back then because there were a lot of dopers. That's hopefully not the case today
Who..?
