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

Fuglsang rightfully punished for wearing such an ugly nat jersey

 

[JimPanzen]

I certainly look forward to drama queen Fuglsang failing in this years TdF

 

[Cimber]

Tour will be a walk in the park for Froome

I put all my faith in Quintana

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Hihihi is all

 

[the sceptic]

Berto terrible

But it's not completely unexpected. Even the overly celebrated vuelta TT of last year was nothing special with such a poor competition.

Thus is much worse though. Only positive I can find is that he might try some crazy actions in the mountains (here and in the Tour).

he will get dropped like a stone by gerraint thomas and EBH

poor competition? :O JRod was flying in vuelta 2012!

 

[roundabout]

Dennis in Yellow. Nice ride. EBH showing improvement too. Weird results. Only GC riders that did well were Porte and Froome.

And König

Any chance the conditions were a little less favourable later on?

Ye what happened to the regular nat jersey? REally hope he doesn't win the road race this year. His time was not totally bad though

I can see even Ten Dam solidly beating him in GC in this shape

Jaja wondering if it's allergies causing Contador problems. Pollen count ridiculously high this year as I can attest! #Dauphine

Smiling Contador after #Dauphine TT. "I didn't have the legs, so I rode the first half on power, the second on cadence. I'll keep working."

BS

Yes that is complete bull****. but what else can he say really

Well his cadence wasn''t horrible it looked ridiculous though

 

[Kender]

wow Alberto is going to lose 6 minutes in the tts alone in tdf

The second ITT is a couple of hills so shouldn't lose as much there

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Great to see Dennis in yellow.

Will lose the jersey already tomorrow however.

 

[Cimber]

Valverde a few seconds better than Bertie. Bad TT by him as well.

 

[Publicus]

Whatever training approach he is taking is the wrong one since he NEVER seems to have the legs....

 

[JimPanzen]

I look forward to the Contador superfans jumping ship right before the TdF I certainly won't give up on him...if he really shopuld suck in GC (which I still don't believe) we are in for some kamikaze attacks in the mountains at least.

 

[del1962]

Alberto Contador has suffered from his pollens allergies during the time trial. "It was not a good day for me", he said to France Television. "I didn’t have much energy in the legs, but there is still time before my form reaches the top. I hope to be better and better each stage. For the Tour de France, there’s still time. I knew that Chris Froome was superior in time trialling."

Pollen Allergies?

 

[Bumeington]

Most of the peloton will be following him later this week.

Way-oh! 10/10

 

[movingtarget]

Valverde a few seconds better than Bertie. Bad TT by him as well.

Looks like Sky had the best training camp.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Looks like Sky had the best training camp.

sky had the only training camp with +5 TT and +5 CL bonusses. The rest clearly forgot to plan these camps /pcm-style

 

[manafana]

dennis going be top rider, even martin not totally right is too good for this field
