Critérium du Dauphiné 2012; Stage 6: Saint-Alban-Leysse → Morzine (167km)

[trevim]

it was a good idea to get in the break.

i happy with his performance today to be honest

I was just wondering that if he had been in the peloton alll day he might have held on to the front group

 

[goggalor]

1 km to go for Quintana. He's looking great. Just extended his lead by 5".

 

[Moviefan1203]

Ha, at the constant Lance/US Postal references.

It's pretty reminiscent of them to me to be honest.

 

[trevim]

Ha, at the constant Lance/US Postal references.

That's their fault though. UK Postal was their ideia I think

 

[maltiv]

So we're approaching the top and we've had the incredible nummer of 1 (ONE) attack during the entire climb.

 

[Bala Verde]

I wonder how much Wilko lost in those last 4K. Probably more than he can make up in a decent descent.

Too bad for his GC.

 

[webvan]

Whats with the Sky hate ?! This has nothing to do with USP where LA always took off alone.

If I remember well it goes up again after the top right?

 

[Havetts]

Marginal gains.. Marginal gains everywhere.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Maybe we can petition to have Contador's suspension ended early. For sporting reasons.

Fair Point

 

[Descender]

So we're approaching the top and we've had the incredible nummer of 1 (ONE) attack during the entire climb.

That's one attack more than on the Giau in this past Giro.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Impressive from Sky, but why the hell is Weening, Kiriyenka and Zubeldia in the group, and not Nibali and Menchov? Doesn't make sense.

 

[Parrulo]

I was just wondering that if he had been in the peloton alll day he might have held on to the front group

he tried to get a proper amount of time from the break. that's the way to go imo.

maybe he would still be in this group if he had stayed all day in the peloton but meh this is better

 

[trevim]

It's a pity that Porte couldn't do this kind of work last year for Contador.

 

[vcampbell]

Now I only want the interviews from the other riders, about Sky and their performance, and the expectations about the Tour.

 

[Ripper]

It doesn't seem right for some reason...

Too true. They actually do not look like they are working past tempo for themselves. Bad feelings ...

 

[Moviefan1203]

I wonder when Wiggins will go solo?

 

[trevim]

he tried to get a proper amount of time from the break. that's the way to go imo.

maybe he would still be in this group if he had stayed all day in the peloton but meh this is better

At least he tried, that's the way to go I agree

 

[Fetisoff]

Well, this just confirms what we've known all along.
Wiggins and Evans are only ones in any sort of shape for this race

 

[maltiv]

Impressive from Sky, but why the hell is Weening, Kiriyenka and Zubeldia in the group, and not Nibali and Menchov? Doesn't make sense.

Because this is the Dauphine, and most of the big guns are not in shape

 

[HoinkDoink]

Just tuned in, 4 sky riders out of the 9?

Whats happened lol

 

[happytramp]

Good God! Imagine the mountain stages playing out like this in the tour

 

[Unkown]

I can't believe that all the Sky boys have not even peaked yet, at this rate the tour is gonna be Wiggins, Froome, Porte and Rogers for the the top 4. This is even worse than US Postal, everybody else behind is dying and all 4 Sky guys are sitting in the saddle like they are on the flats.

 

[classicomano]

Evans for a suicidal descent.

 

[goggalor]

Go Cadel!!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Err, best of luck, Cadel.
