Critérium du Dauphiné 2023, June 4 - 11

[Tricycle Rider]

Fantastic heli shots of hills, forests, mountains, looming fog in the distance - magnifique!

Onley is punchier and should suit the finish more than Poole who is better on longer stuff.

That's a lot of confidence for someone with Onley's results and after him somewhat cracking yesterday.

Who had Uno-X & DSM pulling at the front of the peloton? Not me!

Campenaerts being campenaerts lmao

 

[Escarabajo]

What are they doing? they are overconfident.

 

[Samamba]

DSM stopped, UNO X has 2 guys left before Traeen and Tobias

 

[JosefK]

Horner taking notes. ...

Indeed, but the betting markets this morning suggested that DSM had a plan to ride for him. They do have a tendency for better or worse to put riders on the front when there are better options from other teams in the group and it might not be their business to chase, maybe Onley is just going for stages.

 

[Rob5091]

"Une étape cool" huh? Maybe I should have had a few centimes on him ...

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Carlton, Carlton, shut up about Fraile for once!

"Hunting potatoes" is the term if I remember correctly.

I don't think those odds really indicate much. Betting is popular in Britain, and many like to bet on their countrymen. This often results in lower odds on British riders.

 

[Netserk]

Trek now for Ciccone.

Zingle got the treatment yesterday.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Looks like the chase is stalling at 1‘30‘‘.

It's 365 so although a lot of British traffic it's an international bookmaker, see: Adam Yates at 41.00 despite being a much more accomplished rider and all things being equal more likely to win on the given profile. It is sometimes just an outlier but silly odds like Onley's today can suggest insider knowledge, you'll get more of the nationalistic stuff in bigger races as not many casual betters paying much attention to the Dauphine on a working day.

Could also just be some Scottish gambling addict lumping on his life savings.

Ineos?

But which insider knowledge would that be? Onley has been saving himself for this stage where he will crush everyone?

"Bernal ist jetzt auch nicht der allerbeste Abfahrer" - did he really just say that?

Kirby?!

 

[DNP-Old]

Stat: this could be the first non-time trialing win for Castro.

 

[BR2]

Kirby?!

Eh, no

 

[glassmoon]

Ineos?

they tend to tackle the descents from up front... just to be on the safe side of things.
