Critérium du Dauphiné 08/12 > 08/16/20

[fuiers]

English commentator's called Formolo a baby faced assassin.

 

[Jspear]

Take way Formolo and this is getting ridiculous, one after another MTFs finishing in sprints.

Unfortunately with more mountains still to come and the Tour so soon, this might have been the smartest way to race.

 

[TomLPC]

Sky just don't have it GT wise this year, hopefully it absolutely sh1ts it down in roubaix or something so stannard can have a go

 

[Escarabajo]

Bernal and Quintana bad. Hot weather really affecting them.

They're basically just training.

Take way Formolo and this is getting ridiculous, one after another MTFs finishing in sprints.

Unless others are keeping their powder dry it’s going to be just like most Tours over the past 8 years, only this time with Jumbo instead of Ineos/Sky

 

[JosephK]

Chapeau, Davide! A win for panache today. Roglic looking very solid. I'm liking what I see from Pinot and Buchmann, too. Today's surprise to the downside? Would have to be Bernal, yes?

 

[Jspear]

I’m sure Formolo is getting plenty of oxygen during this interview.

 

[Savant12]

Jumbots out-botting Ineos again.

 

[70kmph]

Primoz another 6 sec

 

[Escarabajo]

Ineos really bad.

 

[ppanther92]

The most interesting part is probably that Bernal tends to fade over the last weeks, while guys like Pinot become stronger. Roglic on a very high level throughout.

Occitane: Bernal clearly stronger than Pinot
Ain: Bernal very close to Roglic
Dauphine: Bernal gapped by both

 

[Pantani_lives]

A well deserved win for a guy who's best known for his second places.

Roglic isn't behaving like a cannibal, because he could have won this stage too if he wanted.

 

[Leinster]

English commentator's called Formolo a baby faced assassin.

Not quite as true any more as when he won his Giro stage way back when.

English commentator's called Formolo a baby faced assassin.

Davide's at the wheel!

 

[bigcog]

Bernal not all he's cracked up to be perhaps.

 

[sir fly]

And a nice interview with the winner.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Bernal still lacks the kick atm, if this is just a training race for him it's ok, if it wasn't planned I'm a bit worried. He did lots of volume at lower intensity durning the lockdown, so he probably just needs more racing to be a bit sharper.
It wouldn't surprise me if Rabofail is flying too early.

 

[RedheadDane]

Not quite as true any more as when he won his Giro stage way back when.

So... you're saying he might have actually started looking a bit older in the intervening five years?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I know Roglic is great and all and deserves it.

But still I get sad when I see GT podium finisher Kruijswijk and GT winner Dumoulin pacing at the front for the entire climb. That kills all excitement.
Ofcourse nobody is gonna attack when those guys pace. It's the same as with Ineos each year. Nothing changed, just the team

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

This feels very far from the Froome/Contador playground of yore.

 

[johnymax]

Formolo is a regular with some great breakaways wins. Mini De Gendt Congrats.

 

[Keram]

This was boooooring . I watched whole ES coverage and literally nothing happend. Happy for Formolo. Well deserved.

 

[Ted Striker]

This tour is brutal, jumbo might not have the legs in the 3rd week

Yeah, VanAert, Gesink and Kuus would be an intimidating enough train just by themselves, but throwing in top GC contenders like that as well is just over the top.


Then again, they still have to ride. 3 TdF winners in the Ineos train, and they ended up nowhere.
