Critérium du Dauphiné 2023, June 4 - 11

[Escarabajo]

That's not the conclusion I'd draw.

The only conclusion I draw from Vingo's attack is that he was bored because nobody wanted to attack.

 

[DNP-Old]

If only you spend decades telling little of interest from the back of motors and yelling ultimo kilometro, then all your dreams will come true.

He is clueless beyond belief. I'm at a point where I'd wish for Wuyts to return. And Wuyts was terrible as well.

Earlier the commentator on the feed I was watching (McCrossan) was reminiscing about the 2018 stage of the Tour de l'Avenir which also finished here, back then Mader won ahead of Sosa, Vingegaard was 111th at 11 mins down. Man has come a long way.

I think he returned from injury then. It was his first race after Valle d'Aosta (where he won the uphill prologue and then crashed out on the next stage).

Did they give O'Connor the same time yesterday after his mechanical??

Yes.

 

[Peyroteo94]

That's not the conclusion I'd draw.

He is so much better than others, I was clearly waiting for him to drop everyone there.

Zimmermann has the biggest smile while on the podium, he must be the happiest man alive at the moment.

Vingo's daughter looks like she'd rather be somewhere else...

‚Meh, daddy didn‘t even win today‘

 

[movingtarget]

Well taken win by Zimmermann. Could Vingegaard look any more relaxed ?

 

[Andy schleck]

Think Vingegaard could end up even stronger than last year but looking likely that his team won't be, Kuss having ridden the Giro also may not be as strong, will be interesting to see what Wilco has in the locker after his injuries.

He will have a even better wout van aert. Van aert=3 or 4 good domestiques.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

In post-race interview Vingo said he's looking forward to tomorrow's stage, said it suits him the best - it sounds like the man has plans for stage 7!

 

[Lequack]

Tomorrow

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Tomorrow

If Vingegaard wants to attack, his team probably can‘t reduce the Peloton for him, that should be interesting to watch.

 

[Andy schleck]

Tomorrow.

 

[Sciatic]

Well to be fair last year he won the Tour with only one real mountain domestique remaining (Kuss) so if one of Kelderman or Kuss (or both) stays fit that would already be quite good.

They might have Kuss soft-pedal through the Pyrenees and Massif Central just to have him ready for the Alps.

 

[jmdirt]

Way to TAKE a win GZ!

 

[Escarabajo]

The only challenge for Vingegaard is his weak team. But none of the other teams seem to care to sacrifice any of his riders. Like if someone attacks from far away he will probably has to follow himself. But there is a probability that something like in Itzulia will be repeated. Having said that He would be alone for a long time. So it is worth to at least try to see if he takes the bait. He is the strongest, yes, but doesn't have a team.

How did Renaat ever land this Sporza commentator job?

Well i'll take him over mister Blanka Vlašić and Vannieuwkerke any day of the week.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Was planning on not watching that ****ing documentary because I knew it would really irritate me.

Naturally I watched it and it really irritated me, seeing O'Connor getting stooged out by his team made me really hope he can get something in July.

I put it onto French and watched with subtitles after about a minute rather than watch the dub, couldn't do it to myself

 

[RobertCrawley]

Great piece of riding by Georg Zimmermann! I thought his goose was cooked but he dug deep and got it done.

Blanka Vlasic? The high jumper?
