Critérium du Dauphiné 2012 Stage 7 Sunday, June 10 125 km Morzine → Châtel

[goggalor]

How difficult is the final climb to Chatel?

1.5 KM at 8.7%. Aka not very.

 

[mcassidy3]

any streams available in English?

EBH accidentally joined a breakaway again, Wiggo will be furious

 

[Lexman]

Westra terrible descender

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

it is steep enough for a bit of fun.

 

[Frosty]

Wiggins is just wary of Cav. He wants to establish himself as the absolute leader of the tour squad.

He's doing it too well though, maybe the management will think he can do it all himself and Cav can 7 people riding for him

 

[hoolaparara]

Wow Menchov is still actually alive. I guess he's Moreno's ***** for the day..

 

[hrotha]

lol calm down, this race is a glorified training session.
Evans was poorly placed more then anything, wait till tour before making baseless claims.

Aye. Evans's climbing at Dauphiné wasn't anything to write home about last year either.

 

[DenisMenchov]

First time I saw Denis in this Criterium.

You think Sky will let him try to go for the stage? EBH seems in decent shape at the moment and 1.5k at 8.7% is something he could handle quiet well I guess.

No, too short and too steep for him. No chance

Where is Machado?

 

[DenisMenchov]

Where is Machado?

He attacked and they caught him, so he is now in the peloton.

He deserves the opportunity, regarding the work he's put in for Wiggo this race.

But I suspect he'll fade and Sky+ will punch through, and serve it to Wiggo to make a point.

Porte deserves a chance as well. Rogers and Froome not so much, as they have done zero work.

 

[Delicato]

Is it Menchov at the front?

 

[jens_attacks]

we might see a cadel-wiggo mano a mano battle in the final climb.
that'd be nice

rolland looks ready for le tour.he really seemed to not have any target here.

 

[Trofinios]

No, too short and too steep for him. No chance

Hope you're wrong. He hasn't done much work today so Sky might believe he could do something. Or maybe they will let Froome try something, if not Wiggo himself will have a go.

Porte deserves a chance as well. Rogers and Froome not so much, as they have done zero work.

Yes, Wiggo only "used" RP and EBH this race. But EBH did the donkey work, as he said he would. Good team player. Is he a tad older than RP?

 

[DenisMenchov]

Is it Menchov at the front?

Yes .

 

[dlwssonic]

I have a feeling moreno will ride away from everyone

Richie Porte is more than 2 years older than EBH.
