Critérium du Dauphiné 2023, June 4 - 11

[Andy schleck]

What performance bernal did in the TT? I can't see his result.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Ugh, Bernal

Interestingly, Jumbo seem to have taken a step back in performance when it comes to aerodynamics. I think in the flatter windy sections every Jumbo rider so far this season has been quite underwhelming, when it's more about power (uphill) they seem to be fine.

Vingegaard could overtake a rider before T1, so that could explain his fast start. But i also think their current bike simply isn't as fast.

 

[JosefK]

Vingo in line with other TT performances--i.e., very strong.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

1.90 m and 78 kg doesn't exactly scream "Good climber".

Don't underestimate Big Mik.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Bjerg should be the first one on the startlist for Le Tour after Pogi. What a beast!

Considering numbers besides the 1 for each team are handed out alphabetically, there‘s a good chance.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

But he's never before rode for himself though. It would be silly for UAE to not try and just default to make him help Yates, who is 50 seconds down.

Bjerg tried to ride for GC a few times as a U23 iirc when he was a teamleader.

[Potomac]

Carapaz.. not a good day

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

This TT would have Remco win by 5m.

How do you win an ITT by five metres?

Horquette d'Aniczan 2022

He gets the odd days when he apparently thinks his name should be an indicator of his abilities.

 

[MrTea1976]

Wright not 8th.

Interestingly, Jumbo seem to have taken a step back in performance when it comes to aerodynamics. I think in the flatter windy sections every Jumbo rider so far this season has been quite underwhelming, when it's more about power (uphill) they seem to be fine.

I assume aero is a part of diminishing returns. Maybe others are catching up to the level of JV. (or maybe most people are having an advantage with the new rules. Bjerg for example.. which brings up the level of the bigger guys.)


Campenaerts not even trying in a TT? ... 7min 53s Whats up with that.

 

[BR2]

Ala looking at Carapaz like "what's up with you"

or maybe I'm projecting cause that's what I'm thinking

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Campenaerts not even trying in a TT? ... 7min 53s Whats up with that.

He's no longer focusing on ITTs, and he's just returned from injury.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

What's the rumours about Mas?

 

[RedheadDane]

So, everyone was expecting a Dane to win the stage and take the jersey.
This is not the Dane anyone was expecting!

Congratulations to Mikkel Norsgaard Bjerg.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Time to take climate change seriously. Bjerg won a WT TT, hell just froze over.

 

[Tim Cahill]

I'm glad someone different won, look at the scenes

Fred looks very good after his crash too

 

[Rob5091]

Congrats to Bjerg! O'Connor & Wright - better then expected.

 

[Potomac]

We need a cage match with the Danes and the Slovenes (Slovenians?)

 

[Krzysztof_O]

What a performance by Bjorg, especially the second half was superb. Other UAE guys also flying. Vingegaard beat other GC guys comfortably but time will tell if he can stay with the best men in the mountains. He's looking rather thin so who knows, maybe...

 

[Ilmaestro99]

So Mas DNFed and still put time into Landa?

 

[Rackham]

Hindley was excellent. Yates was very, very good. O'Connor seems to be back at his best. Vingegaard is where he's expected to be.

Gaudu though... was not good.
