Critérium du Dauphiné Stage 4

[Thee_chisa]

Contador attacks

remember, he doesn't want to win this race, just testing stuff out

wonder what he'll say later on. such a bulls hitter.

 

[luckyboy]

Vogondy ftw

Contador just wanted to get across to Menchov I think.

Yup, seemed like it

I don't think he has the form for much more, though.


And well done Vogondy

 

[Thee_chisa]

millar's popped

 

[Jamsque]

David Millar needs to try to chase back on, and I haven't seen Tejay all day.

Contador not interested in chasing down Vogondy...

[edit]I tell a lie, he is right after him. Taaramae looking good, he might snatch a stage win today.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Vogondy!?!?!!? Since when can he climb again??

 

[Zoncolan]

Menchov dropped?
Edit: No, still in there.

I don't think it's a matter of BS... I think Contador has trouble keeping himself from trying to win. I think it's part of his personality... he likes to attack. Back in 2008 when things were still good with Bruyneel he talked about how one of the best impacts Bruyneel had on him was teaching him patience and restraining his attacks.

Sicard vs Vogondy

 

[Thee_chisa]

another basque attack!

 

[luckyboy]

*prays for Vogondy*

Be cool if Sicard gets it though.

 

[Zoncolan]

Good dig by Menchov

 

[issoisso]

For someone who said he was exhausted because he'd screwed up his training, Taaramae is doing quite well.

And kudos to Pujol and Ovechkin.

 

[Spine Concept]

Menchov again...!

 

[Thee_chisa]

van den broeck? attacking? contador goes again

 

[Jamsque]

Climb just isn't steep enough for Contador to drop Brajkovic.

 

[superconfex]

c'mon Vogondy

 

[Ferminal]

Menchov

 

[Publicus]

AC isn't riding to win. He did this last year. He would put in minor attacks, but nothing very devastating. I wouldn't read anything into it at all.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

1. Vogondy
2. Sicard +10
3. Brajkovic +12
4. Contador z.t
5. Taaramae +15

When was the last french mountain stage 1-2?

 

[Publicus]

Climb just isn't steep enough for Contador to drop Brajkovic.

He wasn't trying to drop him.

 

[superconfex]

millar coming in now 1.30 ish down

 

[luckyboy]

Vogondy

Why are they going on about Millar? Did anyone expect him to be up there?!
