2013 Critérium du Dauphiné, Stage 7: Le Pont-de-Claix Superdévoluy 187.5 km

Surprising they'd let a breakaway with Seeldrayers go, particularly such a huge breakaway. Will be hard to catch them. Sky surely won't have many domestiques left going into the last climbs at least.

They are probably thinking that Seeldrayers will be cooked because of yesterday and was happy to let them go

 

[jens_attacks]

they are at the switchback coppi-armstrong now. cool

Well, large breakaways tend to be full of passengers, so I assume it will be whittled before they reach the long flatter section of the stage, or it'll likely descend in to backbiting about who is and is not riding.

Incredibly strong break

I think that also,Seeldrayers is in the break for KOM points,he'll be cooked by last climb,Rolland at 7 mins down on the other hand...

 

[all_in]

I think this will be between Jurgen and Rolland.

 

[manafana]

if sky dont get much help then this will stay away, sky just need keep it to 4-5mins and then on final climb they will take back loads with the pace of the group.

this is de gendt, vdb2, rolland we're talking about.

They won't take back that much at all.

 

[gerundium]

Well at least we can gather from this that the descent from the Sarenne will possibly be a technical affair judging from these pictures:

JVDB is on anti-biotics, so I doubt he'll do well. De Gendt has no form. Rolland...well, he'll probably win. If he has around 2 minutes on the bottom he should stay away.

de gendt is an enigma, like someone else said. You never know with him

besides there are other strong riders in this break.

2 minutes should be good enough unless froome goes full ***

 

[manafana]

probably bad use of words, agreed on de gendt same with his tt he is amazing at it when he wants.

Rolland should win this out thou looks strongest.

 

[Ferminal]

Yeh, Rolland would have to crash three times to not win the battle of the breakaway. Still only 50/50 whether they make it though, Sky will drive hard once it flattens out and get it around 3 minutes before Noyer.

Very true,Katusha/Movistar may help if they want the stage win,i have a wager on Rolland but its 50/50 the break makes it.

 

[Ferminal]

I dunno, Movistar will be hoping Madrazo takes five minutes, Teruel will be driving for him. Katusha yeh, if it's within 2mins they will probably finish it off.

3'55" at the start of Ornon. EBH starting his 50km turn.

 

[Miburo]

de gendt dropped

maltiv was right

chavanel and veilleux also dropped

Apperently VDB2 is deciding the pace

 

[Frosty]

Madrazo dropped as well according to the ticker.

 

[Gloin22]

Madrazo dropped as well according to the ticker.

Madrazo dropped first before Teruel?

WTF?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Ten riders out of race today so far (DNS + DNF)

Pace seems solid in front group.

[bestelaget]

This looks crazy, fitting if a madman wants to attack there.
