Critérium du Dauphiné 2023, June 4 - 11

[Samamba]

Jorgensen paced himself really well.

Completely different pace plan for different riders here. You can't tell anything from intermediates.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Mas blew up

Damn, not looking as strong as last year. Will be a tough Tour I think into the usual Vuelta shenagigans

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Going by Vingegaard's intermediate times at T1 and T2, i conclude he has covid.

 

[BR2]

wow looks like Cavagna's pacing was great

 

[Valv.Piti]

Welp is Bjerg winning this thing?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Imagine how good he would be if he stopped smoking!

Seems V is on the vapes now

 

[JosefK]

Bjerg monster growling.

No chance against Michael Mountain, negative-splitting because of his beautiful wife.

 

[Riek s]

First and last part favours climbers a bit more, while the middle favours the heavier/strong riders. Expecting some to still dive under Cav time

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Bjerg's wife turned ugly after T1.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I can hear Lefevere shouting at Alaphilippe "give me back my money!" So Alaphilippe is riding for all he's worth... Literally.

 

[Valv.Piti]

If only Gaudu had more engaged teammates to pull him here today.

The French hope!

Going by Vingegaard's intermediate times at T1 and T2, i conclude he has covid.

Did he contract it in between those two points?

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Looks like all the climbers start really well until T1 because it's uphill, then start to lose it because they're disadvantaged at the slight downhill section and plenty blow up there and crack in the last 5-10km.

 

[Berniece]

Bjerg is going to take it based on his current time and speed

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Bjerg thinks he's riding the U23 WCC TT?

 

[Lexman]

did Grosschartner double Bernal?

 

[Didinho]

MIKKEL!!

 

[BR2]

oof

 

[BR2]

Mas out??

 

[Mayomaniac]

Looks like Hindley's shape is on point. With Dani Martinez it's hard to tell because his TTs don't always translate into great climbing results.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Vingegaard has the Tour de France in the bag, he just needs to stay on the bike.

Huh? Because he will win this hilly TT against this third tier field?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Did he contract it in between those two points?

No, it's just a ruse in case he doesn't think he can win. Slovenian national coach already drafting a press release.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Yeah, something is clearly not right with Mas and his health.

Did Mas abandoned?
