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

[Dazed and Confused]

Nice win for Sanchez, but racing was pretty dull over the distance.

What about Clement? Really surprising.

It was cool seeing Alberto work for Rogers. He should really consider doing this full time

 

[Pulpstar]

How long was Contador's turn ?

Nice work by him to get Rogers onto the podium.

Why did Froome do no work, could have got Porte the stage win if he'd actually taken a turn.

Another stuff up by Astana, I don't think Samu was bluffing but of course sprinting for the finish is anaerobic - he should have gone for a long one earlier.

Grats Samu.

**** YEAH!

Great stage with a dream ending!

Fuglsang pays off Rollands debt from 2011 tdf.

Heh. On the Noyer Voeckler looked dead and Barguil passed him easily and yet at the finish he beat Barguil by 1:45.

Well, he always looks dead

Congrats to Sánchez, a very emotional win!

 

[Cimber]

How long was Contador's turn ?

Over 10k I think

 

[The Hitch]

Even got the celebration right

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Over 10k I think

one man saxo train.....

Stef Clement now Blanco's best climber.

Parallels with 2009: Clement = Wiggins

Whoa did not realise the extent of the similarity. Niemiec = Pellizotti? We can look forward to another late blooming GC guy who rode Giro having a breakout as well. OMG Francis Mourey will top 5? Or maybe Stef Clement

 

[Cimber]

Congrats to Sánchez, a very emotional win!

Ye its a nice win for him. If only hé had wheelsucked a bit less

 

[The Hitch]

Over 10k I think

Started at 13k ended at 200m

He's certainly better than Froome at pacing a higher-placed team-mate.

 

[maltiv]

So Geraint Thomas is now one of the best climbers in the peloton...

just imagine what will happen when Sky figure out a way to make their riders descend well.

He's still not as good as Stef Clement though.

 

[Vino's Mum]

one man saxo train.....

lol.

Great win for Sammy after looking dead with a couple of kms to go.

 

[roundabout]

Well, he always looks dead

More like he always looks dead when the camera is on him.

I predict next year he'll be the new Porte!

Contador was impressive. Kept Rogers out of trouble and did not push hard enough to enable Sanchez to be caught. Porte needed to react 1 km earlier and it would have been all over.

Alberto is much better than Rogers and he had to bring him over the top. Don't think it was that 'hard' for Alberto this.

 

[cineteq]

He was dead, and remember he attacked first.

 

[The Hitch]

Nice call Hitch.

Oh you beat me to my self promotion

Thanks though

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

Fuglsang got Sammy Sanched there, lol.

 

[LaFlorecita]

one man saxo train.....

pretty cool huh

 

[LaFlorecita]

I predict next year he'll be the new Porte!

last year: wiggo Froome 1-2

This year: Froome porte 1-2
Next year: Porte g 1-2

 

[airstream]

congrats to vino attack everyone. fuglsang's perspective becomes more optimistic
