2016 Critérium du Dauphiné, 2.UWT, June 5-12

[Eclipse]

One day we'll see Froome, Martin & Zakarin all attacking together and it will be so ugly that cycling will never be broadcast for a public audience again

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Contador regrets the attacks earlier. He would have distanced Froome et al if he saved his energy earlier

 

[Jelantik]

now, we know why Porte ignored the team order to work with Froome. He couldn't match contador. Might as well, use Froome to take time.

 

[Melo]

Froome doesn't even breathe man...

 

[jaylew]

Pinot. What a shame. Bardet should have won that.

 

[rainman]

Well done Martin, more than just a bad day for Bertie

Re:

who was he up against?..martin is super strong in these sort of sprints

 

[ILovecycling]

Quintana probably relegated as king of recovery....all hail the Kíng Richie

Re:

Contador not so bad

He got beaten by meintjes. It's just that froome was relatively bad too

 

[Irondan]

Great finish! Congrats to Pinot!

 

[Pricey_sky]

Didn't exactly expect Froome to beat Martin in a sprint. Pulled a fair few seconds clear of the rest through. Porte shows his weakness when it comes to multiple mountain stages.

 

[phanatic]

Hard day- Bertie protects himself by attacking early, and tiring his betters out?

Re:

I thought he looked really good. He held Martin's wheel for aboout 300m, despite Martin - one of the most explosive riders in the world on steep finishes like this - going flat out.

Put 15 seconds on Porte in 500m.

Mollema will be too busy protecting his 7th place...

 

[webvan]

Bardet, what a loser, he'll never learn... Pinot was helping him and he blows him off only to lose out.

 

[rick james]

can't believe folk think froome looked weak

Pinot was helping him by being a leech the entire climb?

Mancebo's still riding, you know, still trying to climb in side-saddle.

Escartín can be the technique analyst.

 

[Jungle Cycle]

Landa did 10km in front and shaved off almost a 1min.. Henao did 1km.. after that they all looked very tired...

According to many on Twitter, Froome followed Contadors attack near the top of Madeleine, that could explain a bit too.

Probably that counter attack to AC at Madeleine

Didn't put that much into a Contador who's already attacked twice and looked pretty bad. If Froome had the legs, he would've attacked as soon as Henao stopped.
