2011 Critérium du Dauphiné, Stage 4: La Motte-Servolex - Mâcon, 173.5km

[Jamsque]

Geraint Thomas is bringing EBH up to the front.

 

[Jamsque]

Garmin also getting their train set up now, and Liquigas too.

 

[TeoSheva]

go Degenkolb!!!

 

[Jamsque]

Here comes Thomas with EBH locked right in!

 

[Granville57]

Here we go!

 

[Jamsque]

Thomas
Dean
EBH
FArrar

Degenkolb has lost the wheel somewhere in there.

I'd certainly play Degenkolb. Farrar hasn't been showing a lot this year and after what happened to his best friend... It seems hard to believe he's in top shape.

Joker is JJ Haedo.

On this races form, Die Fechter or Like A Boss.

Season form, possibly Haedo but on quality Farrar.

Who actually knows what the French sprinters will do.

Degenkolb wins!

Didn't I tell you he was faster than Hagen and would have won that other stage even if Hagen didn't puncture?

 

[Havetts]

Who won!?

 

[Jamsque]

WOW Degenkolb has some strength. He came from miles back with no lead-out.

EBH went very well, he waited as long as he could but just didn't have the speed to hold of Deggers. Haedo 3rd, good sprint from him.

 

[Granville57]

DAMN HTC!!!

 

[goggalor]

Degenkolb is FAST!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Boom trying to create a crash

His positioning was good until 600m to go, then he let himself be pushed away too far

 

[Havetts]

Aww, damnit EBH whyy.... :<

 

[Mellow Velo]

Degenkolb does EBH for speed. That answers that debate.

 

[jobiwan]

Crazy sprint! That's what happens when the Cav train is missing!

Nice win for Degenkolb. And Waterloo said he wasn't a great sprinter??

 

[Tuarts]

Gah, I thought it was all over and deleted my last post where I said on this races form it should be Degenkolb or Hagen.

Well done Die Fechter

 

[Kwibus]

Poor EBH another podiumspot.

Nice win by Degenkolb again. What a power the guy has. It looks like he's going break his bike while sprinting.

Nah, EBH was stuffed from yesterday.

Ok, then this also answers the "who is fastest, Farrar or EBH?" - debate. Or wait, it doesn't. EBH was third yesterday and obviously was more tired than Degenkolb today.

 

[Machu Picchu]

Wow, JoDe with a powerful sprint there!

That type of sprinter (Degenkolb - power sprinter) does get slower with age tho.
Just look at Boonen. At later age Degenkolb will be less of a sprinter and more classic rider. I predict that now already

 

[jobiwan]

That was ONE POWERFUL SPRINT!
