2011 Critérium du Dauphiné, Stage 6: Les Gets - Le Collet d’Allevard, 192.5 km

[Spine Concept]

Lovely win by Purito

Gesink tests himself and passes. Just a shame it didn't yield him the stage.

Hope he'll stick to the original plan and not try again tomorrow.

Agreed. He placated me. Looks strong already.
Oh, and for the record, Gesink always looks like he's suffering. He does not have a poker face like VDB2.

Credit where credit is due to Wiggins.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Well, J Rod was always the man in form, as opposed to those looking to come into form.
In that respect, a good return for Bobby G.
JvDB and he will be strongly contesting the Tour undercard.

Wiggins looking to be getting well along to his 2009 form.

 

[Winterfold]

LOL that Wiggo increases his lead on a ****** of an mounain top finish

 

[Moondance]

Actually it's neither, it's Hesink

Not exactly... But that's probably the closest an Anglo could get without phlegming all over the place.

 

[Kwibus]

Gesink indeed did a major test today

But good effort for the last 400 m

What did you expect? That he would win with 2 a minutes lead on the next climber?

 

[Ferminal]

Can't wait for the Vuelta, if Rodriguez is going to show up in form (not ride himself into form like the Giro...).

 

[Bavarianrider]

Brajovoc riding hard an loses 4 minutes? Epic fail

 

[auscyclefan94]

Nice ride by Wiggins. Very smart.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

This mountain should be used in the TdF aswell!

Pretty sure it has been

agreed.

He did well, we don't need him peaking tho.

After intense altitude training I hope to see him better then we have ever seen him come july

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

So Kern to ride into second place in GC tomorrow?

 

[Publicus]

Credit where credit is due to Wiggins.

Absolutely. And let's not forget the great pace setting by the Boss. All around a good day for Sky.

He had fine company in terms of epic fail

what about tony martin?

 

[Jamsque]

Great win for Quim, he is still one of the best in the world on his day.

Gesink putting doubts about his TDF preparation firmly to rest.

Evans looks unsteady but has plenty of time to put it right.

Wiggins is on track for the biggest win of his career, he even increased the gap to 2nd today. Lots of climbing tomorrow but none of it super steep and Sky look strong enough.

 

[Havetts]

what about tony martin?

My thoughts exactly...

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Can't wait for the Vuelta, if Rodriguez is going to show up in form (not ride himself into form like the Giro...).

indeed.

Jrod is the most disappointing aspect in reflection of the giro.

 

[eric_vv]

Is it pronounced Gesink or Jesink? I think Kirby's messing it up!

what about tony martin?

Well played, sir

 

[Publicus]

what about tony martin?

Tony decided to deny himself the victory to ensure that his victorious ride to the top of the TdF is that much sweeter.

But good effort for the last 400 m

VDB2 ended up pretty good on the day too

Surprisingly accurate for speech software.

Who would have thought two months or week ago Wiggins was going to win Dauphine. Credit to him !!
