Critérium du Dauphiné Stage 3

[Jamsque]

TV says 8 seconds,

 

[Jamsque]

Shack checking out the Tour fuel?

If he can hold his pace to the finish I wouldn't be surprised if Janez went on to take the overall, he can climb better than Millar or Tejay.

 

[roundabout]

A former u23 world TT champion leading at the first split?

Say it ain't so.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

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

True, it's still surprising since it was uphill.
But you're very right. He might just blow them to the end.
Knees for example also didn't start well and is now in the Top 10 at stop 2. Which is like 15 places higher.

Looks like brakovich is on some of lances special sauce

Jump into the clinic or bring dim back....

 

[Francois the Postman]

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

Aye, it's been driving me up the wall. And the English Eurosport commentators are slowly sapping my will to live too.

There was a discussion not that long ago about the importance of ambient sounds. We get some here, but what we get sounds all wrong to me. I'm wondering if that is why it all feels very flat to me.

If he can hold his pace to the finish I wouldn't be surprised if Janez went on to take the overall, he can climb better than Millar or Tejay.

Problem is, Menchov can climbe even better and Contador as well.
Probably even if he doesn't want to.

Say it ain't so.

Who was 2nd that year.

Menchov already lost 1:30 on all of the other top guys, he will struggle to take back enough time to win the overall I think.

 

[roundabout]

Who was 2nd that year.

Thomas Dekker

 

[miha1234]

Menchov is 2min behind Brajkovic (GC)

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Contador doesn't really look too comfortable on his new bike if you ask me.

 

[Jamsque]

Thomas Dekker

Zactly.

Let's get back to the race at hand, shall we?

Coverage continues to be annoying. Nothing but Contador's *** for the last five minutes.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Millar is losing time to EBH now, interesting.

EBH blew himself up on the climb, as he lost 20 seconds after that to Menchov.
I don't think Millar losing time there is a bad sign. More a good sign

Sounds like there in some basement in Croydon

 

[Swiss Tony]

I noticed that as well on the opening prologue Contador constantly shifting his position back on his seat

Thats how Contador rides TTs. He is constantly shifting and resetting himself on the seat

Never noticed before

 

[Jamsque]

Christian Knees cheating furiously...

 

[Roland Rat]

I noticed that as well on the opening prologue Contador constantly shifting his position back on his seat

That's because time trialling is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman...

 

[superconfex]

Great ride millar

 

[Jamsque]

They just flashed up the times for the 2nd check ever so briefly, I think I saw Brajkovic 16" ahead of Millar.

And here David comes to the finish line, beats EBH by 17 seconds!

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

So Millar is in with the best time.
Still...where are the 2 minutes promised us to gain on the climbers?

 

[Sasquatch]

Christian Knees cheating furiously...

What was his time?

 

[superconfex]

Brajkovic...just looked up his previous teams......mmmmmm

 

[Jamsque]

What was his time?

I didn't catch it at the line, the graphics are blink-and-you-miss-them fast, but I'm pretty sure he was in the top 10.

Janez is going to take this from Millar I think.

The official ticker still doesn't have Brajkovic's 2nd split time up.
