Critérium du Dauphiné 2012 stage 5. Saint-Trivier-sur-Moignans - Rumilly (186 km)

[goggalor]

Evans finishes at least four places ahead of Wiggins. That's gonna be a major psychological blow.

 

[will10]

Not so obscure anymore, is he! Allez Vichot!

Is that from the TDU? Cool stuff

 

[Wigwan]

That's a superb win by Vichot. Very hard stage today so it's impressive he still had that attack in him in the final kms.

He's going to the Tour right? Thibaut Pinot as well?

Pinot told L'Équipe that he thinks he has 20% chance to do Le Tour, 80% Vuelta.

 

[jsem94]

Superb win.

I about spit my coffee.

Wiggins 1 - Evans 1

Exciting times.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Nibali for the win tomorrow ??

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Just checking in. Has Sky TTT'd off the front yet? I hear if they put Wiggins on the front that it would happen without them even trying.

They're too busy crapping out gold and curing poverty atm actually

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Evans finishes at least four places ahead of Wiggins. That's gonna be a major psychological blow.

Pretty sure Sky will now pull out Wiggins out of the TDF selection and put everything on the Tour de Pologne with him

 

[Ruudz0r]

Dan Martin finished 17th very nice

 

[saunaking]

saunaking assured us that no-one cared to chase. Whether Vandevelde made any impact on the gap doesn't mean they weren't bothered. Sky didn't make any ground on Boonen at Roubaix, do you think they didn't care to chase then?

Holy F people!
Nobody chased on the descent of the mortirolo. that is where he got away.
He wasn't chased because they made the calculation that since the top 4 in gc were all toghether they didnt have to worry. If de ghent was a minute down instead of 5 he would not have been allowed to escape so late in the giro
duh.

 

[Frosty]

Sammy Sanchez at 4.34 still recovering from his injury. Schleck not in the results yet.

 

[Ferminal]

Yay for Vichot!

Only other moment of intrigue was Harmon trying to take credit for Sherwen's Law.

Sammy Sanchez at 4.34 still recovering from his injury. Schleck not in the results yet.

He will finish 106th, mark my words

edit:Almost got it

 

[Morbius]

Schleck not in at 4:34

Edit: Duh: too slow again

 

[maltiv]

Dan Martin finished 17th very nice

That's incredibly impressive considering he barely made it to the finish line a couple of days ago. Yesterday he even said on twitter that he barely could stand due to back pain! Goes to show how tolerant to pain those guys are.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Dan Martin finished 17th very nice

Good news . Maybe he's feeling good enough to do some attacking this weekend...

 

[theyoungest]

More likely, it shows how fast these guys recover. Climbing with severe back pain is really difficult, it probably wasn't as bad today.

Nice Evans vs. Wiggo pi$$ing contest on the descent. That's already more GC action than expected on this stage.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Andy Schleck at 13'59

Quintana/Westra/Ruijgh at 9 minutes
Vinokourov/Iglinsky/Gilbert/J Vanendert at 16'56

Martin was struggling at the back of the group on most of the images I've seen when it went uphill. He was just barely hanging on.

 

[WindLessBreeze]

Home*Alone, 50 ToGo, BMC pursuit, SKY GONE? 9B.A.

Not a good sign if SKY tries to seek two antagonist and ambivalent objectives in the Tour. The Yellow*Man alone with 50 to GO? Wasted Team!!!!!They need to rest, step out of the Lime^Light for a while.......

 

[kanari]

Andy Schleck at 13'59

Quintana/Westra/Ruijgh at 9 minutes
Vinokourov/Iglinsky/Gilbert at 16'56

So what's up with Westra, some sort of sickness or just no form?

 

[Morbius]

Schleck even finished behind Chavanel who was dropped early on the Colombier and finished with the 9 minute group

 

[Frosty]

For comparison, Jeannesson finished at 9.03 and is in a phase of preparation according to Vichot.

Edit: Comparison to others, not just Schleck.
