Critérium du Dauphiné 2014: Stage 5, Sisteron - La Mure 184 km

[Cance > TheRest]

Not better than Richie Porte apparently, because Porte is closing that gap fast.

Port is riding at his max. AC is not. But Yeah, unfortunately it looks like they are closing it down

Yep they're closing it down. Yellow jersey group is getting smaller and smaller.

Gerrant not there with Froome...Froome has lost his trump card on the flats

Richie the guard dog Porte has savaged Contador

the train's coming to run him over.

 

[Miburo]

I was 100% sure Contador wouldn't do anything on this stage, this is why i'm a fan of him i guess lol

 

[Publicus]

Would love an update on the gap

EDIT: looks like Sky is closing it down. Oh well. Love the move anyway

 

[wirral]

******, the peloton has almost caught Contador.

 

[maltiv]

A couple of days ago Porte was getting dropped by sprinters, now he makes up a minute on Contador on a single climb. Impressive improvement.

 

[For The World]

Froome looks like he's about to fly with those elbows.

18 seconds now.

 

[l.Harm]

Anyway Froome's now more vulnerable for the last 20k, only Porte and Nieve left and Porte must be cooked.

 

[Arkaitz]

18 seconds for Contador.

ASO hired the GPS from Vegni probably.

 

[Eclipse]

Most impressive thing is that Spilak seems to have preserved his own gap pretty well.

 

[Miburo]

It doesn't matter that much if this doesn't succeed, it's all about sending a message

 

[indianfanboy]

***k Eurosport

Thats the thing about Porte, and the reason he might never be a realt GT contender himself, he always have that one day where he loses big time

True, if Astana had any tactical skill, they should attack

Never trust the GPS, only your own stopwatch

 

[UlleGigo]

Gotta love Contador. Stretching the legs in a warm up race to troll the Skyborgs.

 

[Eclipse]

What timing.

 

[Cimber]

Had this ended with a real descent he would have made it. Good prep for the Tour though and gutsy move.

 

[JimPanzen]

Nice to see Conti stretch his legs. Even if he doesn't succeed, it's good to show Froome and even more his domestiques that it's going to be a hard TdF.

 

[Arredondo]

He's caught

 

[burning]

It's over, they caught him

 

[Arkaitz]

He tried in a descent in Le Tour 2013 and sadly he crashed.
