Critérium du Dauphiné Stage 3

Dammit Dimspace will you stop jinxing all of the young British riders?

Also, it looks like Eurosport just hit all the justin.tv links. None of them are working for me.

Soler finishes 23 MINUTES behind EBH. Must have fallen off any injured himself? Will he be eliminated? If he's injured then they may look the other way but if he's injured that badly then he shouldnt be able to start tomorrow id have said.

He was over 9 minutes at the 1st check point

jinxing.. the lads having a cracking dauphine.. struggled early in the year, didnt finish about his first five stage races, but starting to find his feet now.

9, then 17, then 23. Consistent loss of time.

Oooh, don't mind if I do!

What is the deal with Soler, anyway? Was his TdF Polka Dot win a complete fluke? I have never seen him racing at that level since then. I know he's had some injury issues, but still.

Cataldo licking concrete

 

[Mellow Velo]

Ouch! Cataldo has been on the deck.

 

[Jamsque]

Coverage is all over the place. They don't seem to have a camera on Millar any more, even though he is the fastest guy out there...

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

How on earth did they manage to get all there cameras to complete mediocre riders?
What about Millar and Contador?

 

[Jamsque]

Nice ride from Taaramae, I'm interested to see how he goes in the mountains.

Geraint Thomas out on the course, wearing a trackie helmet, and also rocking the oval chainring.

what is Soler doing?

135.

SOLER HERNANDEZ Juan Mauricio 8 CAISSE D’EPARGNE 01:26:13 00:23:38

for crying out loud, surely this must be impossible

Looks like brakovich is on some of lances special sauce

 

[Publicus]

JB just went through the first check point at 23'27". New best time at checkpoint #1.

 

[superconfex]

can brakovich climb?

 

[Faserr]

yes, he's a good climber. Perhaps not one of the worlds best, but better then Miller.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Sure he can.
It's not so surprising to see him go up a mountain faster than EBH and Millar.
Actually he is supposed to do this in usual races.

Van Garderen doing absolutly allright, third at the first check 16 seconds back.
Timetrial is long though.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Oh Contador is 32 seconds back.

 

[Jamsque]

Contador a measly fifth! Maybe my prediction was wrong...

 

[Anonymous]

Geraint through the first check in 8th.. the green jersey beckons

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Doesn't say anything.

Menchov won a lot of time back on the last part.
Contador might do the same.

We don't know.
Wait and see before judging results

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Brajkovic will lose a bit of time after the climb. Final top 5:

1. Millar
2. Van Garderen
3. Brajkovic
4. Hagen
5. Menchov

 

[Jamsque]

Millar's advantage over EBH down to just 8 seconds at the second check.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Millar is losing time to EBH now, interesting.

 

[Mellow Velo]

This coverage is awful. Done on the cheap. No start ramp, no helicopter.
Shack checking out the Tour fuel?
Contador half a minute down...........
