Critérium du Dauphiné 2022, June 5 - 12

[RedheadDane]

I wish Jumbo will dominate Dauphine just like they dominated P-N. Ideal scenario, to me, is a race like this: three stage wins for Roglic, three for Wout, two for Vingegaard, and final GC win for Roglic, in front of Jonas. Points jersey for Wout. Team classification for Jumbo.

This would be great to watch, and decreases the pressure on Jumbo-Visma for the TdF.

Today, I hope for (and expect) a stage victory for Wout, then - ideal scenario - 2nd Laporte, 3rd Benoot, 4th Primoz…

Three stages for Rogla is likely a tad unrealistic scenario. Two should be fine.

Yeah, two would be cool… Two stage wins plus final GC victory…

Hey, guys... why so modest?

Blazing modesty...

new bikes for trek

I'm not seeing Froome at the back of the peloton just yet.. Bit worrying, no?

Also must say how nice it's to have Carlton Kirby and Brian Smith behind the desk. Loving it.

Ironing, eh?

I think he's there now?

WVA could probably win nearly all the stages in this race. I think the last stage is the only one I wouldn't have him among the favourites. Maybe second last too but he's won a stage like that before

 

[sir fly]

They need to push on to make the effort count.

Simon Geschke already taking time on Roglic

They want Rogla to become a rider of the calibre of Richie Porte or Jakob Fuglsang

Release The Ganna!

I don't think it's about patches on the road, the curves are just tough to catch the rhythm.

Groenewegen is always caught out in bordures.

 

[Samamba]

So Trek is the only team actually trying to keep Groenewegen behind while Stuyven won't beat Hayter or Van Aert probably.

EDIT: looks like Ineos woke up and realized they're only here with a sprinter.

Froomey stayed in the main group over the 1st climb. Good times

This wasn't echelons...

 

[Tim Cahill]

Rabobank too many Chiefs not enough Indians, looking forward to the Tour with this lot.

 

[Aimar16]

It would be sad if van Aert won, after Jumbo didn't do any work during the whole stage

Harper was on the front a few times once the hit the climb the last time.

 

[KZD]

Easy for Van Aert

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

Kirby is so awful. Really suggesting that Cavanga was going to fly the coop...

 

[sir fly]

The bunch was too fast for a flyer.
Congrats to Van Aert.

Like stealing candy from sleeping babies! (Because stealing candy from a child who's aware of what you're doing is not at all easy.)







(My brain almost went "Like stealing kids... but that's just wrong...)

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Laporte great work for WVA
