Critérium du Dauphiné 2024, June 2 - 9

[Unchained]

Mads is getting a participation trophy

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Uh, sure...?

Wasting Vlasov and Hindley on a stage like this, is not a joke?!

 

[RedheadDane]

Cort is like a Danish Mads Pedersen.

And Mads Pedersen is a Danish Magnus Cort...

I'm looking forward for the "From the front" finish photo...

They are not wasted.

 

[Netserk]

So should a lot of riders. But of course, Remco is the chosen one for you to take a shot at.

He said before the race that he would pull for Van Wilder, no?

 

[Rackham]

Wasting Vlasov and Hindley on a stage like this, is not a joke?!

They're riding for their leader. What did you think? Rog went to Bora to share leadership with these guys? Nope.

Whatever else happened he got six seconds bonus, so that's already something.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Cort coming out of the fog reminded me of Bergen 2017 when he was the first rider to come into view on the finishing strait at the moment the signal returned.

 

[postmanhat]

Ciccone back as well. Would love to see him in KOM/stage-hunting mode at The Tour. But everything could be cannabalised there?

 

[Rob5091]

Kristoff can n't stop winning and now Cort - chapeau! Left it very late and through the mist it seemed Roglic had a test sprint too. Shame for Armirail and AG2R but good effort.

I think the bad thing was letting the break get such a big gap in the first place.

They kind of had to use those two when there was still such a big gap.

I suppose they managed to not lose time, but yeah, probably not exactly what they had hoped for (using those two).

 

[Karl Merckx]

He said before the race that he would pull for Van Wilder, no?

Actually, he didn't say that but memes are gonna be memes i guess.

 

[tobydawq]

He said before the race that he would pull for Van Wilder, no?

To set him up for a sprint against Magnus Cort when the Dane had three teammates?

 

[yaco]

Cort is a strange rider - Can have barren times during a season and then pop out of nowhere to win a race or two.

Hindley did lose 54 seconds.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Roglic finally committing fully to his 'heel turn', by burning two potential GC winners to catch the heroic breakaway rider and then bottle the sprint to a social media influencer

 

[Netserk]

Are those new tri-bars for Evenepoel?

 

[tobydawq]

Hindley did lose 54 seconds.

Yeah, that's too bad. Vlasov must have ridden a bit calculatedly on the front. It was strange how he didn't manage to really make a dent in Armirail's gap after the initial acceleration.

 

[Lequack]

Tomorrow is another stage for Pedersen/Cort duo

 

[Netserk]

Tomorrow is another stage for Pedersen/Cort duo

No chance for Pedersen. Cort-Rogla rematch, more favourable to the climbers than today.

It's more shallow than today, Pedersen will win.

 

[tobydawq]

It's more shallow than today, Pedersen will win.

I hope someone will again suggest that Bennett can win here because he was good on Mont Cassel.

 

[houtdffan]

the team changed their mind. Now they are saying lets see after the TT

 

[Landeirovic]

Denz OTL

 

[tobydawq]

Denz OTL

Ouch.

 

[jmdirt]

Cort! I was really hoping that Jorgenson could grab it. Primo looking OK.
The mist/fog was a nice touch.
