2013 Critérium du Dauphiné Stage 4: Villars-les-Dombes Parc des Oiseaux 32.5 km ITT

Contador sand-bagging? Please?

 

[maltiv]

Contadors position was so amazing in 2009...what the **** has happened since then? Now he looks so uncomfortable on the TT bike that it hurts ust watching it.

 

[happychappy]

Wish Contador could stop that seat scooting. So hard to get the right fit on a TT bike under UCI rules.

Froome definitely looking smooth on the TT bike, although his position/technique wasn't exactly "bad" before.

 

[Jelantik]

alberto got a lot of work before the Tour.

 

[Kender]

Haha Berto what are you doing

Sliding all over his saddle

 

[Parrulo]

2010 Dauphine-style for Contador

This is much worse then his 2010 Dauphine performance. . .

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Dennis :O

Maybe Contador is doing one of these infamous negative splits?

 

[Publicus]

Ouch. Guess the reports about lack of form were true. However, Contador is known for being able to get in form fast so I wouldn't worry to much... yet

Yeah I'm no longer taking comfort in that fact. Pretty terrible ride for him.

Great ride by Dennis

When they enforce them of course...

I'm not worrying, but I expected more from him.

 

[Cimber]

Lol... Van den Broeck and Contador not even close. Tour will be boring

VdB? Did u ever expect him to be a threat at the Tour?

 

[Contadoraus Schlecks]

The poll for Tour winner will probably need to be done again. Don't think it will produce the same result as it is currently...

 

[Publicus]

Rogers was better than AC at the 1st intermediate time check.

 

[Kender]

Expect Froome to get quicker towards the end, it's what Sky does best.

He's already looking better than earlier

 

[Parrulo]

Indeed, he never got his position right after he switched to specialized. Even in 2011 when he was time trialing very well the position still looked uncomfortable.

 

[Cimber]

I'm not worrying, but I expected more from him.

Ye neither Froome or Porte have been super fast on the first split - Contador was just really bad.

 

[Sophistic82]

porte passing conti...this is gonna be fun

 

[Roderick]

Why does Berto sits on his bike like a dawg?

 

[goggalor]

At least Porte isn't exactly flying

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Contador going at it Murito style

very poor indeed.

 

[maltiv]

Good ride by EBH

Navarro should be banned. He wheelsucked Edvald from the 11 km mark to the finish!

 

[roundabout]

Navarro

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Navarro to outperform Contador?

 

[Jelantik]

where is porte? is he catching contador???
