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

[RedheadDane]

Not the Jumbo guy I was expecting.

 

[Escarabajo]

Punchy, punchy, punchy. Nice sprint there.

 

[DNP-Old]

Egan very strong, picking up some bonifications.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Ala didn't have the legs? Too far back in the bunch at 1k.

 

[sir fly]

The best competitive form at the moment.
Congrats.

But good sprint from Bernal. Had more left than Roglic.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

It's a bit weird that Roglic let Bernal take 4 bonus seconds. Unless, of course, that he didn't have anything left. It just didn't look that way.

 

[SafeBet]

Van Aert
Impey
Bernal
Valverde
Pogacar

 

[spalco]

Very impressive performance, almost scary if the Jumbos manage to strangle the race like this all week.

 

[DNP-Old]

But good sprint from Bernal. Had more left than Roglic.

Egan lost some speed due to a hole in the road as well.

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic got boxed in. Really akward finish.

 

[bigcog]

Froome won't come back. See how Beloki and Schleck dropped off after a similar injury. Granted, Froome is special so I too waited for his comeback races but he is so far off. Schleck achieved a Top20 at the Tour. Froome is for sure more "driven", so maybe he will sneak into the lower top 10 of a GT GC once again. But of course, not this year and far of of the Top 3 probably.

Yeah it does look increasingly like the likely outcome.

He was going backwards. Had the best position (WvA's wheel) going into the last 300 m.

E: got also boxed in a bit (just saw it in the replay).

Kirby can't even see the difference between Roglic and Van Aert.

Absolutely terrible commentary at the finish

 

[DNP-Old]

Roglic definitely didn't look as invincible as a few days ago. Doubt he's going full gas, but the way Nairo also closed his attack with relative ease earlier, who knows? Perhaps he just didn't have the best day, we'll see.

 

[Keram]

Great Jumbo work. Great Wout to finish it. Where was Ala? Bala missing some punch as well. Too painfull to see Sagan dropped 10 k to go. Oss holded 6 more k...

 

[ppanther92]

Alaphilippe 13th.

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

Eurosport, please fire Kirby he’s atrocious

 

[bob.a.feet]

Bernal, Roglic, Quintana, Pinot, Buchmann - all the favourites are looking good. Didn't see Pogacar today but I imagine he was up there.

 

[DNP-Old]

Bernal, Roglic, Quintana, Pinot, Buchmann - all the favourites are looking good. Didn't see Pogacar today but I imagine he was up there.

He was 5th and looked attentive all the way.

He was 5th

Should Impey have been closer to the front, he'd have won it.
Excellent execution from Van Aert, nevertheless.

Why would he have gone full gas? Dumoulin, WvA and SK where all there. This was to easy for them..

 

[memyselfandI]

Very impressive performance, almost scary if the Jumbos manage to strangle the race like this all week.

Big question is what's their performance after 4 weeks from now on?

 

[bob.a.feet]

He was 5th and looked attentive all the way.

Ah ok thanks, don't know how I missed him. Serious talent.
