Critérium du Dauphiné 2012 stage 2, 160km, Lamastre→Saint-Félicien

[Froome19]

mancoutie probably out there to gather points for the KOM

maybe but on the first one he only came 3rd:
1 Kadri, 10 points
2. Kern, 9
3. Moncoutié, 8
4. Sarmiento, 7
5. Bernaudeau, 6
6. Edet, 5

 

[taiwan]

Kern FTW then plus yellow. He must be in form for this after last year.

No he isn't. He did a terrible prologue and got dropped on the Cat3 climb yesterday.

I can't wait for him to take yellow, and then explode somewhere on a climb. The Telegraaf will have a field day.

 

[dlwssonic]

lol wth UK postal are so damn cautious.
They are leading the peloton now, I don't think they are letting this one go.
By the tour I'm not sure if they will let any break getaway

To allow himself opportunity to get in a break?

Also Kadri had a wheel change and hasnt been able to latch back on yet.

With Kadri at 11 " of Wiggins on the GC I don't think this break is going to be allowed much of a long leash. Oh! flat tire for Kadri now.

 

[dlwssonic]

Their lead has not really grown out. Don't think they will make it.

Yeah but wiggins does not really want the yellow jersey and he can easily gain time on kadri in the mountains and TT.

yeah. So they say. Probably they mean it and may not chase too hard, but chase they will and I bet sooner than later.

that is it: Sammy Sanchez called it quit. Sad for him

The letour.fr ticker is hopelessly slow - about 15 mins since last update (same yesterday). Oh for a feed...soon.....

That's probably best. He should take a few days easy to completely heal. If he does that, I don't think his Tour prep will be ruined and he can still be at top form in July.

Yeah, Dedelou's yahoo link is better, even if I only speak rudimentary French.

 

[mb2612]

The French ticker on letour is better than the English one.

I wonder what happened to
"CyclingNews.com Iphone app. I used to get their ticker on it and now it is not working in the USA for some reason

I Broke two ribs 10 days ago on a training ride and I know exactly what Sammy is enduring. Although not really bad when riding on the saddle, it is hell in the climb and terrible for sleeping at night

Sorry, but who is "Bling"?

Gilbert, on account of his earring?

 

[austy37]

I think bling is Michael Mathews?
