2011 Criterium du Dauphine - Stage 2: Voiron - Lyon (179 km)

[Garry Allen]

Gerrans. he's due again

 

[Ferminal]

Which suits Degenkolb as much as it does Hagen, unless the climb is 3/4/5km, which it isn't

Like Stage 1 of Algarve where he finished behind Baden Cooke?

 

[oldtolmieroad]

You could be right but he lost 6.22 yesterday. There was either a problem or he is setting himself for a breakaway. With the time lost to the GC guys they might let him go for a wander up the road. He has got to get a result soon to confirm his spot in the Tour.

 

[Sasquatch]

Would love to see EBH win...but he might have bigger fish to fry.

Yeah the TT tomorrow.

 

[just some guy]

Yeah the TT tomorrow.

What by finishing 15th ?

Against guys like Jrod, Evans and Vino? I have some confidence that EBH will take the win than Degenkolb. Degenkolb is a first year pro.

What by finishing 15th ?

What do you trolls eat these days? Go and eat that.

 

[greenedge]

I think it will be a win for EBH with Gerrans to try attack. I think the race will be hard as some GC guys might try get rid of Martin before the ITT. I wonder whether Evans could snatch the lead off Vino even in the ITT now with his new position.

 

[roundabout]

Isn't martin 3+ minutes behind already?

2.48 Behind

 

[Winterfold]

If Flecha and Thomas hit the bottom of that climb at 60+kph it will be over so quickly I just cant see the likes of Rodrigues having the time.

EBH has to be the favourite, maybe Vino if he plays it canny.

 

[just some guy]

They are off

The stage begins with rain and a temperature of 15 degrees.

so who is in the break.

 

[Denmarkbonde]

That would be the prediction of the century

I will say Edvald Boasen Hagen. As said before, the last 500 meter is with 6% so I think the sprint will be to hard for the pronounced sprinters.

 

[Moncoutie]

so who is in the break.

Give them a chance!

 

[just some guy]

so who is in the break.

No one yet couple have tried.

Yep, you'd have to think Sky have a number of strong hands to play - Thomas, Flecha, EBH and Gerrans.

 

[niidirull]

My winner for the today would be Samuel Dumoulin.

No french team, surprising!

 

[BillytheKid]

They are off

The stage begins with rain and a temperature of 15 degrees.

A perfect day for a bike race!

 

[just some guy]

Km 40 and 4 minutes to the 3

 

[BillytheKid]

Km 40 and 4 minutes to the 3

Let's hope it goes up to twice that, but not likely given it's only the three. Still a good move for Omega Pharma Lotto to have Jurgen Van de Walle up there..a plus for Van den Broeck!

 

[Tuarts]

Its a good trio there. Reflective of 3 teams with aspirations for the race?
