2013 Critérium du Dauphiné, Stage 8: Sisteron-Risoul 155,5 km

Looks like a nice climb for the sky train

 

[SafeBet]

Scary black kilometre at scary 9 freaking %

Would be a pale yellow in Zomegnan's book.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

well, I've been saying Rolland for every mountain stage now, so I'll say it again.

Rolland to be in the beak again, or try something on the penultimate climb or the beginning of the final climb.

 

[Roderick]

I don't think there is a climb that suits the Sky-train even better than this

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Can we have a separate polls sub-forum because this is getting completely tedious.

I think Piccole Principe can win this if he manages to get in the break. Shape looks to be improving.

I completely agree with the "this is getting tedious" part

Anyway Contador will this

 

[MatParker117]

I think Froome needs Top Five to add green to yellow.

 

[Glocknerkoenig]

Does the Dauphine tend to have the same climb ranking system by the ASO as the tour? Because that last guy could almost be a HC, but perhaps not quite there.

Perhaps its slightly too short at 800hm and the climbs preceding aren't tough enough.

Has anyone ridden in this area? Is it a new climb?

I like when they try new things, even if the profile doesn't seem spectacular. Like the use of the many hilly stages in 2011 tour and the cobbles in (I think) 2010.

In any case, I like the profile. Allows an attacker to stay away from the second last climb.

Thank you. I have been whining about this for awhile now.

don't bring him up man, it still hurts many of us that he's gone. If only he could make the stage profiles for the tour

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Valverde and Purito will have to attack early or risk getting out-sprinted by Clement. He opened up a bit too early today, but he wont make that mistake twice.

Stage 4 of the 2010 dauphine finished at Risoul.

53 guys finished within 2 minutes of the winner, Vogondy, but this year there is the Col du vars beforehand to tire the legs out a bit.

 

[hoerpi]

All I'm hoping is that Samu manages to climb to top 10 on GC. The stage will be won by an attacker, Valverde might have a go again at the steep part and manage to stay away.

 

[ILovecycling]

oh dear..

Please people,STOP making a polls if you dont understand cycling and CNforum decorum,thank you.

btw...botd FTW(probably Cofidis or Europcar guy)

 

[Miburo]

i put my money on this guy

 

[LaFlorecita]

i put my money on this guy

I am still ****ed he is 5th. He should be outside of top 10.

 

[airstream]

Hopefully Contador won't try to steal the stage again. Anyway he won't succeed and Froome will win.

Moreno ftw

blame it on the guys who should give him a penalty

 

[maltiv]

blame it on the guys who should give him a penalty

That's like blaming the testers for the doping in the peloton

Cheating in a TT, in front of everyone, doesn't exactly convey great sportsmanship. We know all know how his morals are...

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

If he still was riding for Astana he would be first atm

difference is you guys could see it thus the organisation too, i didn't see it but i trust your word on it. If it was really obvious then ok you're right

 

[Dazed and Confused]

so Col de Vars is 10,4km @ 6,9%.

35km left from the top.

Looks doable on paper, but several teams here are ridiculously strong.

Maybe the Blanco duo, Clement and Ten Dam can get things going.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Clement to take his Giro supercompensation as an advantage to ride Chris Froomeborg out of his wheel.

No not really.

 

[Jelantik]

valverde yes. purito no. he didn't seem to have the form today. tomorrow is tougher than today.
