Critérium du Dauphiné 2014: Stage 6, Grenoble - Poisy (178.5 km)

[whittashau]

What a waste of a stage GC wise. That little climb and technical finish should have caused some gaps

I love how Alberto is Froome shadow this Dauphine,great
The look of Froom after passing the finish line lol

 

[yespatterns]

I think Westra was probably more cooked in general due to his match burning attacks earlier.

Deserved win by Bakelants,better sprinter of course.Good controling by Stybar,and a 3rd place.

Froome is going to have a bad night of sleep. Could be interesting for the weekend

 

[Jagartrott]

Froome looked upset at the finish.

 

[Netserk]

meh, the current version is great. Just enough for everybody to have a go.

The version you came up with will result in nothing as everybody will wait until the weekend.

What action happened today which wouldn't/couldn't have happened with the alternative design?

Only Alberto's evil eye at this stage.

when the route was designed nobody could imagine the overall weakness of the sprinter teams we have here.

Get the picture?

 

[whittashau]

Vanotti took Froome out for Nibbles?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Too bad about Froome crash.
Hopefully he will be ready for the action tomorrow.

Vanotti sacrifice himself for his captain

So stronger sprinter teams would've meant more action??? And despite the last 25km being the exact same, a cat 1 climb 40km from the finish would've prevented any (better) action to happen???

 

[nomapnocompass]

I'm sure Vanotti can look forward to the twitter-wrath of Michelle Cound!

The sprinters would have wheeled in the break setting up an opportunity for action on three fronts.

- Break win
- Srpinter win
- GC rider stealing the win and bonus secs.

That was the overall design idea. Its simple. Think about it. I know you can.

 

[murali]

I wonder if that happened in the tour, would Contador/Saxo wait?

the important qn is:
if that happened to Contador, will Sky wait?



i can already hear:"we didnt know it. i was not wearing earphone"
"but the race was already on"

she aint sayin nothin to my main man Vanotti

After race interview with froome... Froome said he hit a pot hole and lost his front wheel

Sorry, I still don't get the logic that means that a climb 40km out prevents attacks in the last 5km.

That injuries despite how bad it look, seemed just superficial, but riding hours on a bike everything counts.

Hopefully he's ok, we want to see another tête-à-tête

[MBotero]

It doesn't look good and at the finish he was looking a bit shaken.
