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

[manafana]

theirs a bmc army up the road made that sky let this even get away in first place.

 

[GazelleFormula]

Aggressive racing from BMC and Liquigas. I like it

 

[Fetisoff]

Is that KASH for Astana as well?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Meanwhile, Pandy drops on the descent.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Andy Schleck (RNT) might still be mentally affected by his crash yesterday. He loses contact from the bunch in the downhill.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Liqui not riding because Sarmiento is in front.

The descents can prove to be a real achilles heel for Wiggins come the Tour…

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Wiggins is really weak in descends if they really lost a minute.

I was just thinking the same haha

 

[cineteq]

Group Evans-Nibali almost a minute on Wiggins!

 

[GazelleFormula]

> 1 minute for Evans and Nibali.

 

[Ruby United]

Now evans and nibali have 1 min 10 secs over wiggins and sky

 

[Walkman]

Evans groupe over a minute before Wiggins?

I don't think he's too bad actually. He kept up very well in Romandie. But I suppose the current situation does suggest that he is a bit crap.

 

[GazelleFormula]

Liquigas is working as well now.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Evans and Wiggins testing each other this dauphine.

 

[webvan]

1+ minute now, WTF are Rodgers and Froome doing!

Ah it's 45 seconds apparently.

 

[goggalor]

Sky train choo-choo-ing behind. Can't believe we're seeing racing like this in the ****ing Dauphiné.

 

[Ruby United]

Sky have assembled a line that is working whilst Liqui-gas and BMC working well together ahead!

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Suggests they were let go.

If you're **** on descents and are racing hard, you don't lose 45 seconds in 3 minutes.

If you're rolling down you can.

The seriousness of the reaction can be seen in the way Eddy was allowed to tag along to begin with.

Rememeber the tour 2009 last TT, I thought Wiggins descended poorly there, ok they said there was headwind at the finish but Contador didn't lose anywhere near as much as Wiggins and I think it was mostly the descent rather than the flat

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Wiggins is a great descender.

Sky has the best train in the peleton

Just watch how quick Cuddles gets pulled back when Sky turn the gas on.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Cadel & Nibali peaking too soon?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Hope this Evans Nibali pact is a long-term thing

 

[webvan]

So why is it still EBH doing all the work? Guess he's still not juiced.

Wiggins is in fact a combination of all the Avengers. He's Iron Man with Thor's Hammer and The Hulks rage-power and Captain America's shield. He's unbeatable!!!!!
