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

[Trunnions]

Richie Porte is almost 2 years older than EBH.

Really? I didn't know that. I got the impression when he was at Saxo that he was a "nipper". There must be quite an ego tussle going on at Sky now.
Not easy managing a team of winners.

I have a feeling moreno will ride away from everyone

Simon will win today, he was sick when he was second some days ago

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Dan Martin's still there . It's a good finish for him today if he's feeling better.

 

[Trofinios]

Sheeeet Tejay. Lost his 10th place in the GC there?

doubt it. I'd say it would be a bit much for him yet.

Richie turned pro at 25.

Got a feeling that for the next month every second post will be about a Sky rider.

Porte is in his 3rd pro season, Boasson Hagen in his 5th. Porte became at quite an 'old' age, so that's probably were the confusion comes from.

that would probably be less then the current ratio

Indeed, astonishing he's*still in the race.

Tough as old boots these Irish blokes. They wrestle bullocks for fun you know?

Ffs eurosport get on with the coverage

Eurosport finally starts their coverage and its delayed!! 23km to go!

Whats the point?

If it was other team dominating as much as they did... we'd be talking about them

Too bad this Sky talk was just as bad during the classics as it is now.

Totally agree - it was supposed to be live until 5 minutes ago, disgraceful, no wonder I watch the tour on itv4

EBH still up there at the flamme rouge.

I see. Older, but less experienced. All adds to the ego-battles.

But Scandinavians are renowned for being "strong" in the head.

That's why they make so many top class racing drivers too.

 

[Trunnions]

EBH still up there at the flamme rouge.

And the gap?

 

[DenisMenchov]

Katusha is awesome. Incredible team work.

 

[goggalor]

Moreno awesome! Great ride by EBH as well.

 

[maltiv]

EBH 3rd, riding the entire last KM at a RPM of 20

 

[Delicato]

Waiting for "Wiggins is weak and already past his peak as he was dropped today" posts.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Moreno pretty strong.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

And so ends probably the worst stage race of the year. Seriously, at least Catalunya had an excuse.

 

[goggalor]

Evans gets only 7" on Rogers so it's a Sky 1-2.

Kind of amusing to see Evans vs. EBH in a sprint. And Cadel coming out on top!

 

[JibberJim]

Wiggins shows his weakness, lost a lot of time there on such a short climb, even to Rogers, Maybe Rogers to lead at the TDF?

EBH 4th, Sky should've just led it out properly, rather than seemingly an every man for himself at the finish.
