Montpellier – """"Mont Ventoux""""
Official depart: 12.15
Today's climbs:
>Côte de Gordes (cat. 4 / 449 m)
>Col des Trois Termes (cat. 3 / 577 m)
>Mont Ventoux (horse cat. / 1,912 m, only 1,435 will be reached)
BREAKING: Finish line will be in Chalet de Reynard on the 178th km, 6 km before the summit of Mt Ventoux because of strong winds.
>>69539021
Today will be the day where Quintana does literally nothing once again.
Froome attacks from the bottom and takes ~two minutes on his rival(s)
Can French riders win today?
>>69539085
>froome
>having rival
just sit and enjoy the show like Nairobi does
IMPORTANT NEWS:
>Due to the weather conditions forecasted by Météo France atop the Mont Ventoux with gusts of wind likely to exceed 100km/h, Tour de France organizers have decided to modify the finale of stage 12 in order to guarantee optimal safety conditions. Therefore, the stage finish will be located at Chalet-Reynard, 6 kilometres before the initially planned finishing line.
>The arrival at Chalet-Reynard remains a HC climb with the points being doubled up, so it'll be crucial for the King of the Mountains competition.
>It's Bastille Day, France expects polka dot jersey holder Thibaut Pinot to shine at the front.
>Chris Froome expects an even more intense battle uphill but also another crazy in the valley where the wind is expected to blow strongly.
Currently, wind gusts are reported of 125 km/h at the top of Mont Ventoux.
>strong winds
quite mad desu
>How can Quintana compare?

it's not an official stage until lefevere has complained how unfair everything was against etixx

Could be really explosive as it's a short climb. But movistar will have to take the initiative...... which they probably wing do.

Also whats that HC shit in the end? Happy ending in french?

Part of me wants Froome to go full washing machine today and put a minute into Quintana.
Lazy sod will have to attack then.
Very windy at the top of ventoux
>>69539732
I actually unironically think he has a good shot today.
He has performed well on all the first tough climbs after that (and seemed like he blowed his load after that and fell back a bit each time)
So with only 1 true climb in the day, he should be a prime contender
Majka will also be luring for that polkadot
And ofc Froome and Quintana will battle today
Or well, Sky train will control the pace, Movishit will try one attack and immediately get caught and then mope around sadly doing nothing for the rest.

Ok boys. I'm going balls deep.
Got my first official time trial this weekend.
One of the older guys recommended that I wear a nicotine patch as it'll make me go faster.
Is this true or am I getting hazed?
Also he said some guys use caffeine suppositories...... but I told him I'm not sticking anything up my ass.
>>69539901
Come on, mate. It's not that sort of thread.
>>69539790
Sorry. You're right.
>>69539826
UC has nothing to do with others when it comes to Praxe. There is no violence (other than finger nail hammering in troupes), no face painting, no eating shit and if you want to be anti-praxe no one gives a shit. Literally.
Only singing, fado, drinking and Capa e Batina.
>>69539776
I did. It's not pleasant.
>>69539871
The definition of Praxe is: All the habits and customs of the students of the University of Coimbra.
Because UC is one of oldest Universities in the world it has a lot of specific traditions that have endured. When other Unis where created they copied most stuff but also started doing utter retarded stuff.
18 minute gap already

Sounds delectable.

I wish you could turn off tenses, genders etc. Don't really give a shit about that, just want to make myself somewhat understandable for a week.
>>69540051
I thought she was pre-med?
Looking at yesterday's finish again, I blame Vroome for Bodnar not winning indeed. Sagan had to attack so Vroome wouldn't take first instead.

Question: have any of you been watching live coverage this morning, and if so how?
I was watching a stream of Eurosport, thinking their live coverage would start early, but it's literally just started now, at the same time as ITV 4.
Is there some restriction that broadcasters can't show live pictures until 1pm GMT / 2pm French time?

Eurosport might stream the whole thing through the player app. The TV stream usually starts at this hour. Only difference was when they had the whole stage on the Tourmalet stage.

B-but I do. Figured he wanted something more. And there's nothing wrong with brewing your own tea and chilling it in the fridge instead of coke.
>>69540087
the whole world goes live at roughly the same time. eurosport player has a channel that starts images about 10 minutes before eurosport 1 or 2.
>>69540087
There aren't live pictures to be had until then. All broadcasters get the same signal.
You only have live tv of the full stage on a few stages.

We have no real pre-med in Dutchland.
You just go to Med School, application is for 20% a lottery and the rest gets in via a few days of testing.
It's split up in bachelor (slightly comparable to pre-med) and master but that is purely to get in with the rest of of academia.

they hav to have a truck part way along the course to receive the pictures from the motorbikes and send them to the satellite which beams them to the finish line.
These trucks are expensive, so they usually only have one. the pictures start live when the race moves into the range of the microwave receiver on the truck.
Sometimes there are highlights from before this which are uploaded from the camera memory cards when the cameras reach the finish.
Tune in tomorrow for another post about intermediate trucks

I got a vague memory of some mayor or high level public servant going on a cycling forum to defend lance's character. "Look! He's just a nice guy. I played golf with him. And he told me, man to man, that he'd never dope". Then people replied "did you give him a kiss.... Did you touch each other's ass" etc and the guy rage quit.
Was pretty funny.

Soshauna is superior facially injured race-fu.
