Re: Re:

There we go, overrated pinot. 12.28

The ignorance.

So many people were saying he was gonna do great in this. I don't get why. He lost more than a minute on Contador on PV ITT on this. What's different now? Nothing.

Thus overrated

Aha.

1. Contador
2. Froome
3. Pinot (winner stage 6)

I don't like the prologue: there should have been a few kilometers of flat before the murito. Pinot is likely to suffer, like at VaPV. Nice final three-stage stretch.

It will be a short and explosive MTT, Pinot is a diesel and i don't think it suits him. Les Gets is a climb quite similar to that of Pais Vasco where Contador(and Quintana) destroyed the field. I expect an encore with smaller gaps

It's way too steep for Pinot, just look at his performance on the Arrate climb in the Pais Vasco ITT.

Re: Re:

Froome 11:49
Not bad. There's probably 5-10% to add in a month.

That's a bit much

Yes, 10 would be too much and would mean he's a bit behind, but 5 should be the spike for Ventoux and the itt.

 

[LaFlorecita]

So what was Froome's time? I'm reading 11'34", 11'49", 11'59"

Re:

It would be nice no rain now, but...

Anyway we talk abot and uphill, no risk to take, no big influence of the rain...

Wheels can slip/lose traction when going up steep inclines

 

[Pricey_sky]

Good time from Froome, from pictures I've seen there's a lot of dark clouds overhead. Could be a great decision to go early on.

 

[Poursuivant]

Re:

I think only Contador and Porte can beat this. Don't expect much from Aru or Landa.

Henao or Poels maybe too.

That's good time from Froome, I think it will be beat, certainly by AC, but I imagine barring bad luck, Froome's form over the Dauphine and particularly the Tour will be on an upwards trajectory.

Curious to see Contador. I predict 11:27.

Re:

Most seem to think "49. Although the official Dauphine site said "34 when he crossed the line.

11:49 according to Le tour website. So good, but not amazing.

 

[matusow_m]

Now lets hope for fair conditions

 

[SeriousSam]

So 20 minutes until Landa and then nothing until all the other possible contenders are towards the end.

This. I always find it easier on double digit gradients when it's dry

 

[Samamba]

Who is Antoine Pedrero?

EDIT: nvm, the live ticker was wrong for a second, it stated he had the 3rd time.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Re:

Yeah, fingers crossed I think Alberto can beat that time, but with rain it would be difficult

wet or dry?

Re:

11.49. Good, but not outrageous

4 Km in 12 min it is 20 Km/h.. it must be hard...

Not outrageous, but a really good one... difficult to say how good was Allaphilippe, but if you see Pinot, Kwiato and other good riders for this one at half a minute it looks like Froome did a very good time. Of course is a time that other people may achieve, but not easy.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

imo very disappointing by froome.

 

[Brullnux]

According to OGE, Haig could surprise us. He is an ex-mtb rider so he should be good with steep gradients. Talking about ex-mtb riders, Rosa is off. Good be a good performance from him. Bardet also off. All going one after the other.

 

[Arredondo]

Re:

imo very disappointing by froome.

Why? Difficult to say how good this time is imo.

Pinot already 39 seconds back.

A very good time considering the riders he's put time into, however it's still beatable if it doesn't rain.

 

[Taxus4a]

Re:

I think Landa will do well but this is not a good one for him... his reference should be Pinot.

The next good time could be Cataldo, but about 14:00 , so long time...

 

[LaFlorecita]

11:34 for Froome, it seems. Although all the different team accounts are reporting 11:49, the Dauphiné account insists on 11:34

 

[TomekA]

Bardet third and +16s, good time

 

[Brullnux]

Bardet 3rd! Nice. Haig pretty bad, so OGE were wrong, quite wrong. Rosa 5th

 

[Arredondo]

Bardet 12.05.

Good time
