Re: Re:
A good performance at the Dauphiné isn't necessary as long as he has good form.
Sure, go ahead and write him off when he performs below par at the Dauphiné. I'll be calm knowing he never intended to fight for the victory. Your choice.
He'll be good but he won't go all in for the victory, he'll take it easy or at least try to. Which means we won't see how good he is.rhubroma said:Flo if he doesn't make a good showing in the Dauphine, like in 2014, you can write him off for the Tour.
The Dauphine is always preparation for the larger goal of the Tour, but you're kidding yourself if you think Contador isn't in contention at the former he can still get good enough to be a serious contender in July.
He needs to be really good, which doensn't mean win the Dauphine, but very good yes.
