Critérium du Dauphiné Stage 3

Now it's definite Berto is not going to win

Words of wisdom on Eurosport UK!

"This time trial is all about getting from the start to the finish in the fastest possible time."

Ok this is weird. I wonder if AC has allergies or if it is the bike.

EDIT: Or he could just be taking it easy. I guess we will know in a few minutes. JB should be wearing yellow tomorrow and we get to see Radio Shack controlling things.

Geraint 7th at intermediate 2... heading back into green and should have a healthy lead

 

[Jamsque]

I guess it is back to the drawing board for Contador's fancy new compact-frame TT bike then.

 

[Frosty]

Tejay 4th at the second checkpoint, conty 6th. Knees is fourth at the finish but 1.42 back.

 

[Sasquatch]

1:04 for Knees. Not bad.

The winner will be Brajkovic or Millar. Contador is nearly a minute down.

Berto isn't in peak form yet, clearly.... Maybe that's why he came up with the 'we wont defend the jersey' mantra? Either way, has a few more days to build towards the Alpe d'Huez.

The Lance-a-lots will have a field day with this performance. May the flame war commence shortly.

Contador doesn't want to win this race. He'll be happy if he gives up yellow tonight. He'll be taking it easy and making sure he can get adjusted to this new bike!

 

[Jamsque]

I guess it's possible that Janez will lose the time he gained on the climb on the long flat run-in, but he seems to be going well.

lol hello there

 

[franciep10]

I don't think it's his form he just doesn't look comfortable on the bike

 

[Mellow Velo]

Contador is getting a lot of stick from the Eurosport commentators.
Maybe he just doesn't look so good when he's not going flat out?

Never mind, we now have another 58kg climber who can win a 50km ITT.

Acutally that he's not in peak form now was the exact reason he told the press why we didn't want to defend the jersey.

lol hello there

What's funny about that? The bike is new (second time he's ridden it) and he was talking about allergies after Stage 1.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Brajkovic is catching Cataldo?
No it's Geraint Thomas ofcourse

 

[Jamsque]

Brajkovic will win this for sure if he can catch a nice draft for the closing few KM.

 

[Anonymous]

Come on Gee..... give us geraints time you idoits

 

[Jamsque]

That's Geraint Thomas in front of him, not Cataldo.

[edit]And Janez smashes Millar's time. Boo.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Brajkovic does it

 

[Epicycle]

lol hello there

Perhaps he experienced the sudden loss of blood volume that has traditionally afflicted many TDF contenders during the Dauphine.

 

[Anonymous]

Brajkovic wins easy and takes over yellow
Thomas back in green

 

[Jamsque]

I wonder if Contador will say that he didn't go full gas today.

 

[Pharazon]

wow look at that, a Radioshack rider comes out of no where to win a time trial..

colour me suspicious

Brajkovic doesn't come out of nothing. You know nothing of cycling if you claim that.
