Critérium du Dauphiné 2012 stage 4, 53.5km, Villié-Morgon-Bourg-en-Bresse, ITT

[Froome19]

Shame if Wiggins has been one minute faster he would have eliminated Sep Van Marke from the time limit

 

[boomcie]

Evans will be a lot better at the Tour. Wiggins maybe a little. ACF isn't scared (and that's a first).

 

[Ruby United]

Wiggins crossed the line 17 secs behind evans and started 2 mins behind! Fantastic!

 

[roundabout]

How so ? (10 char)

He was pretty good in the last 15km and the time loss isn't too disasterous for June.

 

[Trunnions]

Wiggo's out of this world, how can he ride like this

It gives you wings...

 

[ChewbaccaD]

Why? He's already taken masses of time out of him. We have mountain stages coming up. I don't think catching him was his main concern here.

He tried to catch him and he didn't quite have the legs...but he took massive time out of him. Man, nationalism really does blind people, doesn't it?

 

[spalco]

Fantastic ride by Wiggins. We've seen these exceptional performances in the Dauphiné before though, the question is whether he can repeat it in the Tour.

Well, we don't really know how good Wiggins could have been in the Tour last year. Nothing we can do but wait and see I suppose.

Can English natives please indicate what's wrong with the grammar in this sentence, because it doesn't sound right, but I can't put my finger on it.

If you say "a torrent download," I think it sounds a bit better. That way "Time trials" and "download" are the same part of speech.

Froome back at the top and with Rodgers...wow that's LaVieClaire 1986 on paper!

 

[ChewbaccaD]

I'm sure Cuddles wants everyone to write him off right now.

Yes that would have been awesome , especially since he has been pretty sick and had to go to the sh!tter during yesterday's race a few times...

 

[Trunnions]

Shame if Wiggins has been one minute faster he would have eliminated Sep Van Marke from the time limit

Well, he'd've knocked me out of the race.

 

[roundabout]

3 in the top 6, 5 in the top 20, 6 in the top 30.

 

[Panda Claws]

It would be funny if Wiggins timed his peak wrong.

Ah I see, makes sense. You too a thank you and a virtual beer

 

[ChewbaccaD]

I also visit steam baths, but there's a roof on so I presume He can't see.

I just hope he can't see into my computer room.

 

[The Sheep]

It's brace yourselves

 

[TechnicalDescent]

He tried to catch him and he didn't quite have the legs...but he took massive time out of him. Man, nationalism really does blind people, doesn't it?

No once he already knew he had the stage and a big win, there was no point wasting energy just to gain that little bit extra. We have mountain stages to come. You're the person that made lots of claims about Evans the other the day so I don't trust your judgment.

 

[dlwssonic]

This is good for evans.
He will be exactly where he was last year at the tdf.
His ride today was very comparable to his ride last year in the dauphine.
Plus he had to ride for most of the time without a water bottle.

 

[goggalor]

Well, we don't really know how good Wiggins could have been in the Tour last year. Nothing we can do but wait and see I suppose.

We did see him lose time on a few occasions to Evans before he crashed out, though.

 

[Froome19]

Yes that would have been awesome , especially since he has been pretty sick and had to go to the sh!tter during yesterday's race a few times...

Wiggo: wow.

That is all.
