2013 Critérium du Dauphiné, Stage 6: La Léchère - Grenoble 143 Km

40 seconds, don't forget the damage will be felt but i doubt something will happen.

Maybe if they don't have much lead on the first cat climb Voeckler orso might give it a go.

Edit: yea ferminal, now it's over

thanks jens for making me excited for nothing...

don't worry on that last descent, alberto will absolutely go mental








ok nothing will happen this stage. europcar betrayed us

12:11 - 40 seconds at km 55

Edvald Boasson Hagen (SKY) and Arthur Vichot (FDJ) have tried to bridge the gap but they’ve been reined in. Bazayev, Huzarski and Flecha have 40 seconds lead at km 55 while many riders stop at the back of the peloton to answer the call of the nature.

Good that sky let EBH have a go, could it have been a signal to the peleton that this was the end of the period of sky keeping the peleton together?

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never give up hope jens

only 1 minute, this might be epic.

 

[jens_attacks]

Europcar in chasing mood
Flecha, Bazayev and Huzarski might not go as far as they wanted. After reaching two minutes, the gap is down to 50 seconds at km 70. The Europcar team is chasing.



GRANDE EUROPCAR & BERNAUDEAU! _O_

WOW! Green Monsters just made my day. 15mins until coverage.

 

[JRanton]

Wow, the race could absolutely explode on Barioz. And we won't see it.

one of the best races happened that way this year. that one stage in oman and san luis for example

 

[jens_attacks]

[JRanton]

Off he goes!

 

[JRanton]

Kiryienka dropped! Man down for Sky.

 

[Ferminal]

Peloton 25" behind him and Flecha. Wonder if anyone wants to chase, although they probably can't at this stage?

 

[jens_attacks]

Top GC contenders could, but methinks they are not brave enough.

 

[Ferminal]

Herrada and Kevin trying to bridge.

[manafana]

this could be one hell of a testing and nervy day after all, so much for waiting for the weekend.

 

[webvan]

Off to a good start and yes it might be more interesting than yesterday...

 

[jens_attacks]
