2019 C du Dauphiné stage 7 St. Genix - Les Sept 133.5 km

[SafeBet]

Brutal conditions out there.

 

[Rollthedice]

Apocalyptic weather, Nairo somehow attacks but is going nowhere with Kwia glued to his wheel.

 

[Velolover2]

Birdsong has two riders up front. Perfect ramp for him to launch an attack.

 

[Simurgh]

The Great Dane attacks on the birthday of our beloved nation's flag!!!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

BOTH Astana riders attack!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Pinot with the Astanas

 

[Simurgh]

Pinot bridges over to Fuglsang - perhaps the rumoured cold hasn't weakened him that much? Nairo is caught btw

 

[Velolover2]

Astana are almost SKY-esque today.

Fuglsang to pull a Froome?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Everyone back together

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Kuss showing signs of life. Second day.

 

[dick the quick]

WTF Kwiat is doing?

 

[Simurgh]

Fuglsang looks ready to pounce - Yates looks so comfortable, and Gorka calling it a day

Magnus Cort to win this bunch sprint - if he can get his position right

Really hope he continues positive progress. Lot of talent.

 

[Velolover2]

Group almost too big. Still waiting for a big Froomesong attack. He has Portsenko up front.

Quintana will elbow him out of the way and take it probably

The group is indeed too big, but if someone who needs time in the GC like Bardet and Quintana hasn't attacked (or in the latter's case, made the attack stick), I don't think we should expect anything from them today. Pinot being at the back of the group doesn't look really good either.

 

[Velolover2]

30 riders up front with 5k to go? This is rather disappointing.

Hopefully there will be some attacks soon!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Maybe they are all too cold and wet, and nobody thinks he has the legs?

 

[woodburn]

Kwiat. Hmm.

 

[Red Rick]

The excitement is killing them

 

[Simurgh]

It looks indeed like no one is willing to roll the dice in fear of blowing up...EXCEPT FOR FUGLSANG, NAIRO AND PINOT

 

[Velolover2]

Froomesong is such a monster.

 

[Red Rick]

Porte fail

 

[Simurgh]

Bardet goes, no one follows!
