Critérium International 2013 - May contain spoilers

frenchfighter

...


A handful of riders were out front but caught and now Frank, Mourey & Voeckler have 40" on Schleck, Roy and Vachon and 1'16" on the peloton

frenchfighter

Schleck back with the peloton. Wish I had visuals - it sounds great and Voeckler is entertaining things.

frenchfighter

Schleck now dropped by the peloton...

frenchfighter

Wet and narrow descent here.

frenchfighter

Not sure who Sky have up there but there are not that many of them.

frenchfighter

Cheers, now I have three races on the go!

frenchfighter

Only 24 secs now. Voeckler is about 28 secs down on GC. The three at front aren't working super hard in these wet conditions. 17km to race.

frenchfighter

Voeckler is pissed.

Two Sky riders have pulled them back. Porte in third wheel.

frenchfighter

Kiriyenka is the guy on the front. Froome is 2nd wheel. JTL and Dombro nowhere...

Commentator for ES talking about Sky and power and numbers. Not sure who he is.

> Commentator for ES talking about Sky and power and numbers

ah that's why I watch on France3 where I get to hear about the chateaux, churches and history of the climbs

frenchfighter

Haha, I really like the French commentary. I have them on for GW.

On the final climb. Kiriyenka lining it out two BMC just behind for TJ.

Riders dropping like flies.

frenchfighter

6.5% at the start to 7-8%, eases off then in the last km it is 10%

frenchfighter

Evans dropped.

Wonder if Froome is going to get jealous of Porte and do his whole fake-attack-and-sit-up thing?

It is more relaxing than what I've seen of the anglo commentaries. They had Jaja on the phone earlier, he's just home from hospital and nearly died but for the intervention of a passer by and first aider.

Not good for Evans, especially after winning this last year. Wonder whether age is just catching up with him now?

frenchfighter

Kiriyenka still on the front, still lined out, still smaller group. 10km.

Both commentators are surprised Kiri can do this - they need to watch more racing.

frenchfighter

Michelle Cound ‏@michellecound 6m
Wow, Kiryienka is a machine… slowly whittling the peloton down one by one!

Team Sky
‏@TeamSkyGirl
@michellecound terminator or what! Crazy good riding from him

alihisgreat

I hate they way Froome moves his head around when he's putting some effort in.

Kiriyenka is pulling more faces than TV tommy.

frenchfighter

Watch out for Talansky and Peraud.

frenchfighter

Voeckler is still there. So is Jungels - talent.

frenchfighter

7km to race. Kiriyenka on the front, Froome second. Only 25 riders able to hold this pace.

Kiriyenka giving us his Porn Star Sex Face. Ooh baby!!

Watch out for Banditos in the hills. Corsica is a great place to get kidnapped! Yehah!!

frenchfighter

Tschopp first rider to try and break away. No reaction from anyone.

Commentators talking a lot about Sky's tactics.

frenchfighter

Kiri off the front. Froome on the front.

6km to race, 8secs for T

oooo the dog is off the leash

frenchfighter

Tschopp won the PN mountains classification.

12secs for him - dig deep.

Best win from him was 1st stage 20 of the Giro 10. Memorable because he was out front with Simoni and took the Cima Coppi when ppl thought he would let the rider get it in his last Giro.

frenchfighter

LoL, Froome rides off the front, looks around and see the gap, turns around and keeps going.

frenchfighter

Peraud only rider to go with him.

5km to race and now Froome has dropped both Peraud and Tschopp.
