Critérium du Dauphiné 2017 (04/06 > 11/06/2017)

[70kmph]

Porte can see the Froome group now

 

[Laplaz]

This will be close

Re:

Imagine being danish, having not seen a top stage race rider since the chicken, and then watching this now.

I'm getting the nicest summer chills

I wasn't really amazed by him until his Olympic silver in Rio - My first race was Tour 2009, so I never experienced the hype about Rasmussen nor was I born yet when Riis won

 

[Hayabusa]

Porte has been really impressive but BMCs team weakness may cost him at the Tour.

 

[Savant12]

Porte to finish second on the stage.

 

[Billie]

Richie should flip a bird when he passes Froomy

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Wait, what did I just witness? Surely it can't be Meintjes attacking?

 

[Andro]

Porte might get bonus seconds after all. Could be crucial.

 

[BetOrLose]

Froome is downplaying his level before the Tour, Dauphine doens't mean anything to him.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

What character Porte is showing!

He might take the race in the end, by going faster on the last, flatter, km.

 

[The Barb]

Champion ride by Porte. Hope he does enough for the GC.

 

[Kwibus]

Just saying this once: results in the dauphine are no garantee for the tdf.

 

[Orbit501]

Is there bonus seconds on the line?

Could be crucial if so in deciding who ends in Yellow here.

Porte coming back but a 10 second bonus for Birdsong could just do it.

 

[TomLPC]

Froome appears to be waiting for Porte?

 

[webvan]

Porte to pull for the Dawg now

 

[70kmph]

Porte catches Froome

 

[Cance > TheRest]

It's so awesome to see the underdogs take the initiative. What an epic stage this has been!

 

[Simurgh]

Is Contador behind Porte/Froome?

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

So that sprint on stage 6 could have decided the race...

 

[Publicus]

Porte's form is pretty amazing. I can't imagine how he can maintain this for 6 weeks

It seems like the years of racing scared are over

 

[Arredondo]

Re:

But i don't think Dawg will be extremely happy either

 

[spalco]

Re:

Yeah.

 

[jilbiker]

I am convinced that someone from Astana will win the TDF...

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Re:

OIfcourse

Especially Contador and Froome will have timed their form for slightly later.

Big question is, if those on form now can maintain throughout the tdf.
