2013 Critérium du Dauphiné Stage 5: Grésy-sur-Aix Valmorel (139 km)

[Christian]

Fuglsang is well on the road to clash with the Dawg and Velasco at the Tour.

In this photo they're scrubbing his face for a beauty mask. You know the podium requires preparation.

What was he on the podium for? Is he leading in some classification?

 

[cocteau_ireland]

I get kiryenka but Lopez? Roche has a top 7 in the vuelta.

6th as mosquera disqualified.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Vuelta_a_España#General_classification

Good stage to watch,great rides by Busche,Froome,Dennis,konig and Contador.(i knew he would regain his old self)cant wait for the tour to start"also good to see rodgers back to some good form.

and Porte.

You are not allowed to call out a troll.

I never use the "T" word so I get a pass.

I actually think a long distance attack may be a good idea, a la Scleck TOUR 2011, Contador Vuelta 2012.

Schleck attack in the 2011 Tour was on a stage with 3 hc mountains. Agnello is as hard a mountain as youll ever find in a prudehomme tdf, followed by the comparitively crap izoard followed by Galibier.

Where is Contador gonna do it? On the overrated Alpe d huez and then stay away for 40k of flat before the second ascent?

Yes Fuente de was a crap stage but riders were tired after 3 consecutive mtfs and it was Murito not the olympic tt bronze medalist they were facing.

 

[Big Doopie]

Good old fashioned ride by Rohan Dennis. Thought I was back in the 80s. Nice to see.

 

[Polyarmour]

I looked on twitter, his and JV and others like inrng tourdejose mattrabin klier. no mention of problems with Di2 battery, so he decided to use this all the way to the top

I can't believe anyone would choose to ride up an hors categorie climb in the big ring/large sprocket combination. He was clearly struggling with his cadence. Absolutely bizarre.

Whoa. What interest standarts of crap. If Izoard is crap, all TdF climbs are crap.

If 10k at 8% (even steeper given a little descent at the Casse Desert) is a 'relative crap' for you, either you handle Tour climbs biasedly or never climbed himself.

Yes good question. He will do it on the mont ventoux stage.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

and Porte.

and Ten Dam and Clement actually

 

[webbie146]

I'm wondering didn't get to see the stage yesterday, but what was up with Purito? Finished way back.

 

[Ferminal]

He punctured at the start of the climb so presumably gave up.

We may see fireworks from him on the weekend.

Ah alright that makes sense ty!

So sorry for you you didnt graduate highschool. Even in Minsk Matt Busche doesnt spell Contador.

lolwhuut??! Froome's domination dements? Contador stole this stage. Buche had to take it. If Contador hadn't attack, the RSL rider could've got it. But Froome is anyway guilty. Perfect!
