2013 Critérium du Dauphiné Stage 1 Champéry (SUI) - Champéry (SUI), 121 km.

[Potomac]

only one garmin rider finished with the main gc bunch

 

[Kender]

Alberto is 11th and Konig is japanese according to results

Already trailing froome hehe

 

[Ripper]

Great win for Veilleux!! Chapeau.

Beautiful

Crazy ride by Veilleux, chapeau.

Beautiful

Well that was rather dull.

Only for those with fanboyism skydium

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

MEERSMAN takes 1s from Sky

I thought that the general rule was that if there is less than 2 seconds between finishers, they are regarded as having been part of the same group. Have I dreamt that up entirely, or is it the rule in some races but not others, or is some rule being misapplied here?

wait for the results for the other 50 riders who finished in the main group to come up

Sky-fanboys like it dull. They liked the 2012 Tour after all.

Anyways, I liked this stage. And great win.

A thing about Bertie is that he needs to learn to stay behind his teammates. He often takes things on by himself. Seen the same on flat windy stages. He just needs to trust his mates and stay on their Wheel, and not flicker about alone.

What does it matter in the last 500m

btw Mickey Rogey only saxoboy with Alberto in the peloton, where are Roman and Nico?

Depends on the finish IIRC.

Its a general tendency . Has happened alot on flat stages when it gets a bit messy (and still far from the finish line)

There are not in the race. They are doing TdS. Jesus had a mechanical.

I thought one full second between two riders causes a one second gap

You jump and celebrate with joy when Cav wins a sprint, but a solo victory is dull for you

You are right I don't know what I've been smoking

Gettin ready for TdS

Talansky lost more than 6 minutes to the peloton
I wonder what happened to him?

Rogers is riding the Dauphine.

New era of cycling.

JV might have to change his view on this new era business.

Garmin riders don't cut it.

I have a choice of multiple sports today, on 3 screens, and nothing happened to make me turn the sound on the cycling once.

The term solo victory is rather broad. There was no attack today - someone was given a big lead because they are not important, and held on to it very effectively. There were no moments of excitement.

He must be saving it for Le Tour...

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

And another Top 10 result for NetApp in a big race. They upped their game this year significantly.

Agreed. A sprint is much more exciting than a lone escapee who was never in trouble of getting caught.

If it had been a Sky rider up there instead of Veilleux, I have no doubt you'd have been cheering like mad.

Something the cyclingnews forum is also curious on.

The latter happens only rarely in WT races, so I think it's nice when it does.
