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

[Publicus]

Thank you Alberto!

 

[Cimber]

He has sat up. But was a good effort which might have succeded had the profile been more normal in the end (i.e. a descent after the climb)

 

[Cimber]

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

Today he tried and took 1 min on the firest descent. Had there been a 2nd descend after that climb he would have made it

Also kudos to Team Sky for not panicking and pulling the move back.

****!! I missed that contador attack!!

Kelderman looking quite comfortable, would be cool if he tries an attack. Surely the Sky domestiques will be tired now.

Without the last flat flat part from the top of the climb, he wouldn't have needed to drag the Vichot group with him for help on the flat. And he looked pretty untroubled all the way to the top

Yeah, Nibali should have joined him.

Had there been a descent after that climb maybe Sky would have reacted with more urgency to the first attack...

You can't just take one thing out of the context of this race and apply it directly to an alternative one.

They reacted with all the urgency they had. No need to understate what they did.

Contador didn't even get to the second chase group? I think we've been GPS bamboozled guys.

It sure as heck looks like it. I thought he had

Porte doing the job when it mattered the most

This guy is the biggest danger for Sky (Froome) when in slight form.
omg Brailsford and Froome will be so stressed in Tour,Alberto is so unpredictable for them,its has to be freakin scary for them

edit:Alberto trolling Froome all day long behind his wheel lol

Katusha killing an interesting battle for the stage again?

*taking a nice and well-deserved stage victory again, you mean

 

[The Blues]

If Katusha continues this in the mountains in the TdF, they will be fun to follow with Purito, Spilak, Trofimov, and Silin (if they're all riding?)

 

[Arredondo]

Spilak got this in the bag.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Goooo Fuglsang

 

[McLovin]

100% there wasn't more than 30s there. I even think that they had visual most of the time, that's why was no panic. If truly it was one minute and a half, than Contador climbed like a stone.

Great slo-mo of froome grabbing a gel

But if he does it like that all the time without gaining anything, he will be cooked after week 2 and Froome and Brailsford will do nothing but laugh. He has to make attacks stick when it matters.

Today was all about trolling them a bit though.

Fulgsang attacks gains 20 sec
Team Sky really made to work hard today

Eurosport, are you kidding?!
