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

[perico]

After yesterday, think TJV is even happier that they signed Dumoulin?

No doubt.

It sounds crazy, but then you remember the French GC hopefuls before Pinot/Bardet...

Yeah, so the last winner of a major stage race was Moreau in the 2007 Dauphiné.

It's true what you say but Pinot, Alaphilippe, Bardet and Barguil are not exactly newcomers on the scene anymore. So it's a bit crazy that they have never won one of the races.

 

[Simurgh]

Sivakov crashed

 

[DNP-Old]

Oof, you could hear his crash on the ambient sound on the Eurosport Player. That was a hard one.

 

[70kmph]

Sivakov crashes on white line

 

[spalco]

Phu, almost a great save by Sivakov.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Dangerous descents ... they were saying

Come to think of it, Pinot has never had great success with GC wins. His most prestigious overall win is probably the Tour of the Alps or Critérium International. He’s won Ain multiple times and Languedoc, but that’s about it.

This race is kicking everyone's a$$es.

 

[TomLPC]

This is a dark weekend of cycling

 

[RedheadDane]

Phew... at least he stayed on the barrier.
But... owwww!!!!

 

[perico]

Damn lucky they mandated helmets back in the day. His head just bounced on the tarmac.

 

[TomLPC]

He's making it back!

 

[richwallone]

This is getting crazy with all the accidents this year... People are falling all over... Too many races without proper and timely buildup....

 

[Bolder]

Van Aert is a remarkable rider, even though he finally cracked.

Martin is a the end of his rubber band...would be surprised if he isn't dropped.

The post-crash adrenaline must have kicked in for Sivakov...

 

[Simurgh]

Here we go, Pogacar and Lopez attack

 

[70kmph]

Pogacar attacked

 

[Simurgh]

Pinot alone now and leading

 

[perico]

On a brighter note, Mas looks much better today.

 

[Bonimenier]

How exciting cycling can be without JV/Ineos trains.

 

[DNP-Old]

Kuss to win the stage, Lopez or Dani for the overall.

 

[KZD]

Kuss going now

 

[Simurgh]

Martinez attacked as well with kuss

 

[Carols]

Could it be Sepp's day? Go young man!

 

[perico]

Kuss is a pure joy to watch on the climbs.
