Critérium du Dauphiné 2024, June 2 - 9

[Sciatic]

to me it looked more like he was leading out Nerurkar, who then somehow forgot to launch his sprint when Quinn ran out of power.

That makes sense, I thought he was looking to see if his chain had dropped or something. But that could have been just the exhausted head nod.

So Primoz crashed, how surprising! One philosopher once said "We know that Primoz crashes a lot", wright?

 

[SHAD0W93]

His fans will tell us it did

Either he wins or does well in the TT and it’s “imagine home much better he could have done” or he does poorly and “the crash affected his TT otherwise he’d have been better.”
But hopefully he didn’t break or damage anything. This isn’t the goal so no reason to push of something is hampered.

 

[Bolder]

Just watched the stage. Heartwarming win for Gee and brilliant sprint.

 

[Nick2413]

Funny, girlfriend finds it hilarious that he won

Wholesome celebration of the year

Rog said 3 times why he crashed but i still didn't understand. He was blocked and missed a turn?

They were riding in a road block and he probably dropped off the edge of the road somehow.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Between the Roglic crash and the Evenepoel flat, it's hard to shake the feeling that the screenwriters for this Dauphiné wanted to give their more rabid fans as much ammunition as possible.

 

[Lequack]

How are these chums supposed to beat Pog or Vinge, when they can't even drop the sprinters uphill?

 

[houtdffan]

No, he wouldn't.

yes, he would have. No 3km rule on a summit finish

 

[AmRacer]

yes, he would have. No 3km rule on a summit finish

Nope.

you mock, but Pogacar only beat Tiberi by a dozen minutes or so. And now Tiberi is getting beat by Froome on MTFs.

 

[Rob5091]

They wanna repeat the "the Giro field was a disgrace" storyline in the Tour

2 hours 49 minutes and 45 seconds is the biggest ever winning margin in the Tour. If we tell UAE, would Teddy G.O.A.T. go for it?!

 

[Andre]

Remco tried to move up but kept getting boxed in

I saw him at one point following right behind Roglic near the front...but Tiz-Cycling was losing its transmission something horrible

 

[houtdffan]

Nope.

yeah, he would have.

The 3km rule has NEVER applied on a summit finish

 

[SHAD0W93]

Yet Froome and Tiberi finished together, one of whom just got done riding his first GT for GC at 22 yrs old.

Did you read the post he was replying to?

 

[AmRacer]

No, no chance.

As well as those trying to stir the pot...

Tarling significant betting favorite for tomorrow. For such a hilly course I’d still go with Roglic/Remco even with potential injuries/form issues

I'd go Tarling, Remco and C-Rod or Ayuso. Carlos Rodriguez is my favorite to win overall based on what I have seen so far

 

[QueenStagiaire]

The Olympic champion vs the European champion vs the world champion in the time trial; doesn‘t happen every day, does it?

Yeah he’s on my podium except this is already his 5th stage race of the year plus Tour, wondering if he will definitely be in top shape for this or in a bit of a dip.

Wholesome celebration of the year

Yes, indeed—the whole crew was delighted!

He wasn't in shape yet in his first two stage races, so he rode these likely just as training races, so I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

Great observation!!
