Critérium du Dauphiné 2024, June 2 - 9

[yaco]

Yes, he will try to be at his best all three weeks. What comes after TdF isn't on his mind.

Wish Pog would stop winning Lombardia.

 

[AmRacer]

Wish Pog would stop winning Lombardia.

He will when he holds the record for most wins, and maybe conservative wins too.

But you claimed anything post TDF is not on his mind.

 

[AmRacer]

Yes, next season is after TdF as well.
It's quite some time between Lombardia and TdF.

No serious TdF contender is planning for what comes after TdF. They'll deal with it when time is due.

Froome FTW

Yet he has said the whole season that his biggest goal this year is to become world champion.

But yes, I definitely don't think he'll ride within himself during the Tour for that reason if that's what you mean.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Yes.

They can thank me later when Gall wins Suisse by 2 minutes.

What, only 2min? He'll gain half of that in the mtt alone!

 

[Laplaz]

Tiberi said he will start this race, then rest and then be the captain in La Vuelta.

Curious to see his level against Roglic and Remco.

They clearly made that video before the SOQ communications about Remco’s form

again, nobody should believe that

When Remco starts to downplay, he is most dangerous. See LBL 2022 and Vuelta 2022

They had me going with the pie, but when they publicly started stating Remco is not in good form, then i knew Remco never ate that pie and still has it. Likely Remco plans to celebrate and to eat the pie, after winning Dauphiné. Or so the plan goes, but no, not this time, at Vuelta 2022 PL said go easy on the guy, Rogla went for it.

All in all it's full gas racing from stage one, Rogla positioned tight on Remco wheel! At best they can share the pie, only after the race.

And then he gets dropped on the first proper mountain finish and it is said he can’t climb

He hadn't crashed severely before those races. So the situation is not the same.

 

[Nick2413]

He’s been doing a solid amount of volume. Around 5 weeks now of 25 hrs/week and 10-20,000 vertical meters. At least he should have a good base, not sure what his intensity has been like.

25 hrs/week, isn't that a bit below average?

 

[Salvarani]

25 hrs/week, isn't that a bit below average?

He splits his time between being a bike rider and pizza delivery boy.

 

[Brullnux]

Curious to see his level against Roglic and Remco.

Surely he'll be shattered?

 

[Nick2413]

It’s pretty normal for them in training, maybe a couple hours less than some but not everybody does that much

 

[SHAD0W93]

He splits his time between being a bike rider and pizza delivery boy.

That’s why he’s so good at TTs, 30 mins or less otherwise the pizza is free.

Not that it matters much but if you're going by his Strava, it's probably a little more actually.

He spent 20 days at Sierra and numbered every ride/day but he didn't upload ride/day 4, 6, 10 and 14. I don't think those are rest days because he uploaded his easy/coffee rides as well. I assume it's test days which he wants to keep hidden.

I think the overall time/distance listed by week still accounts for that though.

Looking at some other guys, he’s doing maybe 10% less than Kuss but then you have Bernal in the 35 hour per week range, I’ve never seen quite that high in training though.

Ah ok, I didn't realise that.
