TDF 2013: Stage 7 *SPOILERS* Montpellier - Albi
Comments
-
With so many sprinters dropped from the front group, do we think it will come back together, or will OPQS/Lotto just write this one off as a Sagan win?"I have a lovely photo of a Camargue horse but will not post it now" (Frenchfighter - July 2013)0

Cav about 3 mins down on the bunch.
Multiscreen on France TV is great. Moto 3 is following Cav.0 -

Cavendish gave a cheeky smile, and said it may sound brash, but he didn't want to be the next anyone, he always wanted to be the first Mark Cavendish
He says the same thing in his autobiography - when sprinting for road signs on IoM in his youth his mates would be Cippolini or McEwan, he was always just Cavendish.0 -

Hmm, you ll notice i didnt write that - cos it's an MTB this time - 29er Hardtail.We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Moto 3 just sped from the Cav group to the back of the bunch. It took a long time. No way is Cav getting back.0

Maybe they can keep this pace up as far as the IS, but to the finish?
Bound to be some form of organized chase, behind.
Cav in group 4 on the road. :oops:"Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Cows! lots of them."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0

Can't see many other teams being that keen to keep the pace high, only Cannondale have much to gain.
I'm slightly surprised about Cavendish, as he looks very lean this year. Maybe he's still not 100% after his illness last week."I have a lovely photo of a Camargue horse but will not post it now" (Frenchfighter - July 2013)0 -

The state of the nation with 103km to go. Kadri and Voigt have 1:20 on the peloton, which contains Sagan, the yellow jersey Impey and all of the main overall contenders. Andre Greipel and Marcel Kittel are just under 3 minutes down, while Mark Cavendish is 4:15 back.

Greipel group slows and has been joined by Cav group.0

There's going to be some tired OPQS and Cannondale riders at the end of the day.0

Froome goggle update: White jawbones. Affirmative. 8)Correlation is not causation.0

OPQS, Lotto and Argos cooperating really well.
Edit: About 15 of the aforementioned riding off and on at the head of the Cav / Greipel / Kittel group.0 -

Lovely to watch a high quality chain gang in perfect coordination.0 -
Does anyone know which part-time sprinters are in the front group? Gerrans, Degenkolb etc
I fancy Sagan to be outsprinted again.0 -
Damn, I hope Sagan nails this one. Fantastic effort from Cannondale. Can't believe they would lighten up this stage which seemed to be doomed as incredibly dull.0
-
Kiryienka, Lopez apparently in the Cav group.0

EBH perhaps?0 -
I'm watching the tennis at the moment :oops:0

Sagan has to nail this sprint, surely.0

I think EBH is a good call if Sky gets it right.0

We need some more cows. Meanwhile I'll finish marking these dissertations.Correlation is not causation.0

The Cathedral in Albi is thought to be the biggest brick structure in the world. :shock:0 -

Why does anyone wear Jawbones? they look like sunglasses for 7 year old boys who like the Power Rangers.
And in White?? Minging. losing respect for Froome.0 -

Sainte-Cécile:
It was first built as a fortress in 1287 and was under construction for 200 years. It was granted UNESCO world heritage status in 2010. The Cathedral was built in its fortress like style to symbolise the power of the Catholic church after the brutal suppression of the Albigensian 'heresy'.Correlation is not causation.0
