2011 Critérium du Dauphiné, Stage 7: Pontcharra - La Toussuire, 117.5 km

Haha. Well he certainly made a huge performance today. Just 20 years.. nice!

indeed.

Gesink did all the work in the final climb, but Pinot did a good stage and was in the break, chepeau to him.
Will be a great rider in a couple of years.

cadel looking strong!
@ACF I beat you to that one!

Ya, I liked how Cadel responded and fought it out.
But noone was catching Purito.

I think he's 21, no? Good on him nonetheless. He rides like Gesink when he was a neo-pro.

Samuel Sanchez 6;36,

Wiggins won the Dauphine by a minute and a half.

Time for a new thread in the clinic! I kid, I kid.

 

[Andy99]

Many congratulations to Bradley Wiggins and the rest of Team Sky. Awesome job.

 

[Jamsque]

JBraj and Sam Sam both HUGE disappointments this tour.

 

[Ferminal]

This was a good weekend of racing, we will be lucky to see two stages as good in the Pyrenees or Alps MTFs next month.

meh, they both have the tour in mind apparently.

I don't think they mind much.

I'll reserve judgement for the riders until the end of le tour.

Samuel Sanchez 6;36,

Still above Gesink lol.

Well I need to find the silver linings where I can

I wasnt implying anything, just noting it so you aren't posting that no one pays attention to samu .

JB will not be a leader at the Tour de France. Shack will ride for Levi and Horner.

I dont agree Evans looked strong, he was in trouble on the penultimate climb

la toussiere is a tempo col which suits evans, but on the steeper stuff he looks not so good

 

[jaylew]

Wiggins won the Dauphine by a minute and a half.

No shock there. He owned the GC faves in he TT.

JB likes JB a lot, don't be so sure.

It's just ridiculous isn't it - in a nice way.

Hard course raced hard too

absolutely.

where he has always failed. I repeat what I have said all year, no way he'll make podium.

Amazing win by J-Rod. punchy blow at the end- and also congrats to Wiggins-who rode very wise to maintain the malliot.
-I'm very disappointing about Evans-has he gone back to Wheel sucking?

 

[Jamsque]

JB likes JB a lot, don't be so sure.

JB also likes money, and he knows that he needs another American TDF champion or his team is gone next year.

Brian Smith on Eurosport was pointing out that if JRod ever learns to not completely suck at the ITT he will become a huge GC threat in any race.

If that happens, that JRod doesnt suck in ITT's I'll be stunned. Plus I dont want it to happen, I love pure climbers

Heh, you don't really think Horner or Leipheimer have a shot at winning the Tour, do you? I'd bet on ****ing Wiggins before either of them.

Evans attacked at one point.

Mind you, Contador did nothing but mark people en route to 3rd in 2009, I don't think we'd call him a wheelsucker. If Evans behaves the same way in the Tour, we can talk.

 

[Winterfold]

Hater..............

you're new here aren't you?

 

[ScottyMuser]

massive congrats for Wiggo for the GC, and to sky for a great race all round. Ride of the day - probably Pinot - really young still, in the break since the 8th km, still has the legs to sprint at the end (well, not to mention staying with the best climbers in the race).
