3rd June: Criterium du Dauphiné stage 1, 5.7km

[TourOfSardinia]

Rain on the just?

From the detailed forecast here:
The rain might just catch the last few riders - that would be a blow to Wiggo.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

rofl. that is the best ever

 

[Sparta]

Thanks. Weather looking good at the moment although rain clouds are visible

I rode the course a couple of days ago and thought wind might play a part as it can get very strong and variable in Grenoble due to its geography, however today there isn't much. Evans looking absurdly relaxed outside the BMC bus.

Wow. Man wish I was there with you.

Enjoy... and give Evans an extra cheer for me.

Here we go! Westra, first starter, is on the course.

And Westra takes the lead with 6.46!

Here we go! Westra, first starter, is on the course.

With some luck, he could set the fastest time of today already.

 

[Froome19]

Disappointing 00:06:46 by Westra.

 

[Trofinios]

Around 51km/h by Westra.

And Westra takes the lead with 6.46!

His average speed is 50.5km/h, I dont think he will stay in top 10 but time will tell

 

[spalco]

And Westra takes the lead with 6.46!

Doesn't sound like a winning time to me.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Barreda beats Westra

 

[burning]

Barredo and Gerrans already beat Westra

 

[jens_attacks]

barredo at 51.17 km/h

wiggo to go under 6:25 i guess

 

[maltiv]

LOL Barredo beats Westra. At least he won't finish 2nd today

 

[Trofinios]

WTF! Barredo beats Westra by 5 seconds!?

 

[spalco]

Westra down to third already.

 

[CasperVg]

With some luck, he could set the fastest time of today already.

Well nevermind about this then, woops.
