Critérium du Dauphiné 2023, June 4 - 11

[Rackham]

I think Jack Haig getting 5th overall is pretty neat considering he just rode the Giro.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ciccone won the KOM

Brutal

 

[HelloDolly]

G Martin got a top 6 ..

 

[RedheadDane]

Frida doesn't look like she's getting tired of constantly getting identical lion plusshies.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Ciccone won the KOM

Brutal

LOL, the final hill was cat 1

Pity he had problems at the Giro but looks better now

Vingegaard: "I'm not behind schedule" (for the Tour prep).

You don't say...

We all thought he always pulls his phone immidiately out after the stage to call his wife but in reality he's just frantically reading the CN forum hence his reaction.

 

[Escarabajo]

I'd say Gaudu is ill

And Mas, and Martinez, and Landa. We'll see how this changes come July. I have seen surprises in the past.

It is a Giro form carry over. It has happened many times in the past. He body was already running high. He is ready for a good break.

I think he should ride the Tour. Aka no rest for the wicked.

...

In other news, Gaudu totally exploded (lost 19 minutes) & Carapaz was even worse (30 minutes & one of the last riders to finish).

Chapeau Ciccone & Vingegaard for the GC. Jumbo did the business but losing Kruijswijk is bad news.
Looks like some guys took today as a Sunday spin with thoughts of "saving themselves" for the Tour. More altitude training though might be in order. Pinot must be getting deluged with pleas to ride the Tour.

Great win by Ciccone. Brutal finish to the race even Alaphillipe didn't need any pantomime faces, as they happened naturally..............domination by Vingegaard. Good week for Yates and O'Connor. Hindley looks like he still has better condition to come. Landa and Gaudu switched off early. Meintjes slips into 7th place overall. Good training ride for Bernal.

 

[Potomac]

I think the Giro was more exciting than this race.

You didn't enjoy today's stage, at least?

 

[jmdirt]

Congrats GC! I love it when a racer wins from a break!

Congrats JV!

 

[hfer07]

Oh man.....
that sudden acceleration by Vingegaard "in the saddle" was something
Congrats to Vingegaard - He'll be ready and on a mission by the time Le tour arrives.

 

[RobertCrawley]

He's ready.

I hope Pog is too.

How is it possible not to find today's final exciting?

 

[RobertCrawley]

Does anyone know where to buy the Tour book in French? Thanks, friends.

He does strike me as the keyboard warrior type.

like Jon Lord, or Herbie Hancock

Kruijswijk is way past it. If he wasn´t Dutch, he would not be considered for the Tour anymore at Jumbo. They should bring Valter instead, probably a better option than Kelderman.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Alaphilippe with a stage win and a top 10 in GC. He also seems to be ready for the Tour. Stagewin seems more likely than in a not so distant past.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Congrats CG!

Ciulio Giccone?
