Critérium du Dauphiné 2013

[Jelantik]

He should do TdS then if he really wants to celebrate a whole week. Starts a little later I think.

(Surely Nibali wouldn't mind celebrating another title would he..?)

besides wiggo might ended show up there. Rematch?

 

[Jelantik]

My prediction is that either Sanchez or Froome takes the victory.

with alberto soft pedal next to Froome

 

[Mr. McQ]

Froome for the win!

Sky!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Team Sky with Froome as leader will go in at 95% in the race.

The outfit needs a dominant display to set the PR up for TdF, especially after the Giro debacle.

However several other teams are prepared for this and we will likely have a solid battle.

Looking forward to it.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

I'm looking forward to playing Sky bingo.

Maximum points for 'peaking too soon'.

 

[airstream]

gotta be great stuff. expect to see an audacious move from Froome from 4-5 km out in one of mtfs

 

[Jensen]

The Saxo-Tinkoff team: Contador, Hernandez, Rogers, Paulinho, Duggan, Noval, N. Sørensen & C. A. Sørensen

So... Duggan for the win

Good post,exactly my thoughts...imo Froome wants to win this.

 

[ILovecycling]

As for Quintana,I hope he will go for GC at Dauphine.Still it depends on Piti,he likes this race,so he might go for the win.Imo Quintana should go 100% at least at TT and mountains.

we need to find a nickname for this guy,he deserves it!

Do you know what irony is, Baldrick?
yeah, it's like goldy and bronzy, but then with iron.

So 6 of their TDF team in this race (Contador, Hernandez, Rogers, Paulinho, Noval, C.A. Sorensen) , and 3 in Switzerland (Roche, Kreuziger, Morkov)

Sounds about right.

How do you know it?
Morkov,Noval and even Paulinho arent on the Tour team yet.

 

[Jensen]

Well.. no one are on the Tour team yet
But those 9 riders are probably a good guess.

So they are maybe gonna fight about the last spots in Dauphine and Suisse. Nicki Sørensen was removed from the Giro team to ride the Tour and Bennati must be a possibility too.

Just a guess

how about "quintana"?

 

[ILovecycling]

how about "quintana"?

...its so long to pronounce and write u know

 

[pastronef]

el Indio

INDIO

 

[nesocip]

el Indio

INDIO

As far as i know from some Bolivian people i met, calling them Indios is equal to them as calling black people ******s.

Not sure how it is in Colombia though, but in Bolivia that word is considered a racial slur.

 

[Zvezdarac]

I'm looking forward to this race.
I can't wait to see Contador's condition.

Oh,then thats bad.Thanks for the information,good to know.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Why nicknames for everybody we are not the mafia.

 

[jaylew]

I usually write Nairo as it's shorter.

ZO, People are generally lazy and also don't like to type long words/names, mainly due to cell phones and their tiny keyboards, besides nicknames make the poster look like they are close and know the rider they're talking about, even if they have never met them nor ever will (on a personal level, autographs don't count).

I hope the CdD is going to rock it this year.
