Critérium du Dauphiné 2023, June 4 - 11

[Samamba]

Piccolo showing how you should drop back!

 

[Samamba]

Ok but seriously wth is that peloton doing? actually confused?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

I'm not sure what the peloton is doing, but the scenery is once again luscious and lovely.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

More cramp it seems, Castro this time

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Several riders suffering of cramps today - weird

 

[BR2]

Whole peloton not drinking enough??

The Tour is starting in Bilbao, Pello Bilbao is infectious

 

[Berniece]

Only Vingegaard and Laporte left for Jumbo? Great time to attack

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Break caught at 10km to go

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Alaphilippes should have launched it. Only Bayer wants to race, nicely timed attack

 

[RedheadDane]

And Bayer says "bye".

 

[Tim Cahill]

Good attack, a few of the others should've realised you get a bit of a tow from the bike if you attack, take the opportunity

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Bayer is looking fresh

 

[Lequack]

Finally some action.

 

[Salvarani]

Great attack/attempt even if he might get caught

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Come on Bayer - schneller, schneller!

 

[Lequack]

I guess Gorenewegen will win this after all.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Good attack but last 5km are all uphill, even if partly very shallow gradients, so that won't be enough.
Still, interesting race with not a strong team to keep this together and further attacks possible to happen.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

So pretty much a full bunch sprint. In retrospect Jumbo should have held something back to smash up the little hill, now they have Groenewegen to contend with.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Bayer caught, good effort though

 

[Salvarani]

I think this will be too tough for Groenewegen

 

[Devil's Elbow]

If you're going to attack on this drag, it should be on the slightly steeper bit in the penultimate kilometre IMO.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Fred should just attack instead of trying to sprint

 

[Salvarani]

Vingegaard in fantastic form

 

[Salvarani]

I think this will be too tough for Groenewegen

Yeah, no chance
