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

[Climbing]

You know, LaFlorecita, ACF and dwlssonic are kinda "cute" in their fan-boy(girl)-ism.

BavarianRider is actually kinda entertaining (to me at least)

Airstream, jobiwan and christian actually do always have some good input into the conversations apart from their manlove to Frandy Schleck.

Most of Wiggo fans so far are just annoying. Don't know why, maybe they're not really so bad, really and it's just due to the fact that there's so many of them now and they have (some) reason to gloat.

He was able to lose the Vuelta, so he has the potential to lose TdF!
But, nonetheless I'm impressed by Wiggo, good luck to him.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Well most fans are sane. It's the occasional june/july Wiggins-fans that pop up now that are really annoying

I suppose that is directed at me ? And who is the troll mmm ?

I watch the full season for your information.

All I've heard you say for weeks now is how boring each stage of the Dauhine and Giro is.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Porte is to slow

 

[Winterfold]

Sky fans are getting unbearable my God...

LOL for once I agree. A few people need to wind it in.

 

[trevim]

Check the general news thread, one of the last pages. I think the last.

WOW!! I should my make life hyping the Sky boys!

Not saying I'm not impressed with him.
Not saying it would be the end of the world if he won it.
Just the matter in which he's being hyped like he's already got it in the bag that annoys me.

But this is internets. Fanboys can hype him all they want, I'll just complain about it all I want

Porte is to slow

He doesnt need to go faster

Sky can let the break win, and stay with them within a 1 minute. No problem for them...

Out of interest is Andy in the group behind? Haven't seen him dropped but didn't tune in until the Grand Colombier descent

 

[hrotha]

Screw Sky. GO KADRI!!!

Man I love this guy.

He got dropped.

 

[maltiv]

Vichot is by far the fastest rider in the breakaway. He'll take the stage.

he is in a group about ~2 minutes back according to France 3

yes. I suspect it will only get worse.

Sadly - for my won character this is - it only makes me want wiggins to lose that much more. ohwell.

...Is Kelderman in the behind group? I just tuned in.

 

[saunaking]

Remind me again, how did De Gendt just podium the Giro?

Descends have seldom been important lately because of the way the courses were designed. This year, it's either be imaginative or arrive in Paris minutes behind the ITT specialists.

De Gendt podium'd because nobody cared to chase him. And wasn't he still in 5th before the final TT? So i guess maybe he podium'd because of his TT

 

[woodburn]

Was he dropped on the climb or descent?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

yes. I suspect it will only get worse.

He's been in the first peloton the whole time

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Is Gallopin in the peloton? Radioshack is riding for someone?

You answered you own question

Machado working at the front

so happy

 

[hrotha]

Well, no. With that ITT alone he would have been ~8th, assuming he came in with Basso or thereabouts on the Stelvio.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

He was 4th before the ITT. And nobody cared? I think Pozzovivo, Gadret ao. cared plenty. But nobody thought he'd stay away. And when VDV started riding, they were still losing time. But none of the favorites dared to go so soon.

so happy

Why ? He's barely a doemstique to Gallopin

Not the quite prediction you made of Machado winning Dauphine last Sunday :

 

[*G*K*S*]

GooooooVichooot!

@dt thanks
