Critérium du Dauphiné 2022, June 5 - 12

Vingegaard would have demolished Roglic if they weren't on the same team

I'm pretty sure we'd have watched them looking at each other and not fully committing for the last 5k in that case.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I sure hope Trine and Lora won't get into a Twitter fight after this.

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic tired.

Vingegaard could probably go again.

 

[RedheadDane]

As expected; Vingegaard gets the stage. Roglic wins the GC.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Low-key thermonuclear from O'Connor

 

[Eclipse]

Boringly predictable race start to finish as feared but at least we have confirmation that one team is ready for the Tour

 

[Red Rick]

Kruijswijk only losing 1'20

It's also pretty funny that BikeExchange have spent ten years looking for new Australian stars, only found Matthews, and now there are finally two really good GC riders in O'Connor and Haig they have neither and are in danger of relegation instead.

Can take out Hindley, Storer and Plapp too

 

[Netserk]

Kwiat and Carapaz set a bad precedence. Saunier Duval did it better, but they also practised it more.

 

[StryderHells]

Great ride by Chaves, maybe this will be the year he picks himself up a Tour stage.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

There's no space for any such sentimentality at the TdF

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Low-key thermonuclear from O'Connor

Probably his best-ever performance. You do have to worry he's peaking too early to fly like this at the Tour though.

 

[Savant12]

Vinnie enjoyed that training ride. Got a stage win out of it.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I want Roglic to win the Tour. I used to hate him but I like him more and more. However, he looked like he'd seen a ghost after crossing the line today. I think he knows vingegaard is the stronger.

Edit: and Hindley of course, apparently the Giro really was that forgettable.

They did bring Caleb Ewan into the pro peloton.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Call me crazy, but I think that he will win this Tour.

You're crazy. Pogi is a different monster. He was toying with him at tirreno.

 

[Oldermanish]

Looks like a happy JV family at the end. No injuries to speak of and solid progress.

 

[Netserk]

Vindergaard.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Can take out Hindley, Storer and Plapp too

No idea how I missed Hindley. Storer and Plapp are still unproven, but still better options than someone like Lucas Hamilton who must be their best Aussie GC hope...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

They did bring Caleb Ewan into the pro peloton.

But never brought out the best in him, you can argue it's due to his age but he stagnated with them and then had a huge leap his first year upon leaving. All his best results have come with Lotto and it's not like he's always been performing to his best there either.

 

[StryderHells]

Probably his best-ever performance. You do have to worry he's peaking too early to fly like this at the Tour though.

I have a feeling he’s still on the way up.

 

[ice&fire]

Pogacar has it in the bag if the TJV duo can only take 15s on O'Connor on a climb like this.

 

[Escarabajo]

The renaissance of the 2016 Giro heroes!

Now I am confident that Roglic is not even the # 2 or 3 favorite for the Tour. No way. He is going to be dumped by Pogi and Vingo in the mountains. IMHO.

 

[SarahtheDane]

Pogacar has it in the bag if the TJV duo can only take 15s on O'Connor on a climb like this.

Tbf, there will probably be less time spend on handholding at the tour...

 

[Carols]

Wow what a Rabo/Jumbo fail. After a week of listening to whiners and failers they Only manage Yellow and Green, 1 &2 on GC and 3 stage wins. Did it ever occur to all you complainers how tiring your attitudes get?
Some people actually like to Enjoy watching cycling. For those that only complain maybe you'll find another sport.
