Critérium du Dauphiné 2023, June 4 - 11

[Tricycle Rider]

Vingegaard very matter-of-fact in his post-race interview - if we could just squeeze a tiny bit of charisma out of him...

J/K, not every rider has, or has to have, a camera friendly personality. (I actually kinda like Vinge's quietness, it's definitely his own.)

 

[perico]

Jorgensen lost almost 10 minutes today. What happened?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Oh well, maybe its better this way. Its shaping up a lovely Thursday night in Canada.
6-pack
Last 20k of today's stage
Chris Horner video
1 or 2 episodes of the Netflix TDF show

It's always a lovely day for a Chris Horner video.

Jorgensen lost almost 10 minutes today. What happened?

Probably feeling the crash and just chilling and trying to help Mas on saturday and sunday if he's feeling well

Er... did you actually listen to what he was saying? He gave a very clear reason for his understated reaction (seemed almost in tears, even).

Did Jorgensen crash or something?

Ah someone beat me to it

No way vineggard drops remco today. Remco should go to le tour

 

[Berflamand]

I'm wondering if Vingegaard actually increased the pace at some point to drop Carapaz or if Carapaz just suddenly completely blew up given how quickly he dropped back to and was dropped from the peloton. It's like he just gave Vingegaard a lead-out and sprinted up the hill untill his legs were empty. Entertaining yes but not exactly smart.

Well, apparently he crashed the other day.

Vingo took a turn, and then probably noticed that with Carapaz on the front the group was closing in. So then you either get caught or you attack.

We really need a Highlander show down in next years Tour between Pog, Vinge and Remco

I'm pretty sure he upped the pace, because the group behind was beginning to close the gap.

What did he say?

 

[Big Doopie]

People think Gaudu will be relevant in the Tour just because he beat Vingegaard in PN...

Maybe prudhomme will add TT kms back in to TDF since there is no remaining artificial way to make a GC contender out of a petite French climber.

well, it kinda is Richie's MO, but glad to hear at least he is active/aggressive

Yeah, I would like to force the dominant riders to all do pretty much the same calendar and especially the Tour. It's amazing how they manage to each do such a different schedule, and then injuries and illnesses do the rest...

No way vineggard drops fausto today. fausto should go to le tour

FTFY

 

[theyoungest]

What did he say?

He said he didn't really want to celebrate because of what happened in Annecy today.

(a knife attack on children in a playground)

 

[Big Doopie]

Glad to see Bernal up there. His trend continues to improves. Worrying about Dani Martinez. But we'll see if he improves in the high mountains in the following days.

Some guys with a bad TT did OK today. They just know they don't have to face the same TT at the Tour and didn't bother to prepare for it. They just need to be better at the mountains.

So true.

I so pine for the days when GTs were a more balanced measure of all around abilities.

Lefevere soon: "We need more time to build a proper team around Remco. He'll target the Tour in 2025 at the earliest."

I just rewatched it, the mic was cutting in and out. He mentioned something about families where he got emotional and then the interview ended.

Perhaps you would be so good as to fill me in on the context?

He’s not that good…?

Fausto is not included on le Suisse startlist from what I saw. Looks like quickstep wont race him for a while, i doubt he will be in baloise tour belgium. He stopped being active on social media and strava, and that happened before when he had bad Mononuclosis flare ups. I'm really quite worried. But also I praying that he's just doing incognito training in Mexico or somewhere to get 2021 lombardia form for the summer

Ah, understood. Thank you.
