Critérium du Dauphiné 2024, June 2 - 9

[Berniece]

We've got the first target at inter1: Tarling - 11'01"65

 

[Berniece]

Tarkington already overtaking riders 6 min into the TT

That's what Procyclingstats thinks, but that's not the case. At T1 he was 43s faster than Denz, but the difference in starting times is 1min, so he couldn't have surpassed him already.

I would like to know how they get their data

 

[Tim Cahill]

Startorder wasn't kind to Denz, who is a reasonable tter himself

Now suddenly it‘s 1m17s (crazy gap), maybe the intermediate times are actually made up,

Then again, Tissot Timing official website just changed the time from Tarling from 11:01 to 10:44, in that case he did catch him already.

And Tarling is first to reach the second intermediate, clearly sandbagged too much earlier in the race because now he‘s out of riders to draft.

Logan Currie looks to be flying if the timings are right

He‘s still 48 seconds behind Tarling after 10 km, but he had just caught his teammate Menten, so if there‘s no commissaire around…

Lol wtf

 

[Nick2413]

Today is the sort of TT where the first rider to arrive could very well end up being the winner.

Froome was around the 40th rider to start.

 

[Berniece]

What a ride from Joshua Tarling, he finishes this 34.4km ITT in 42'06"63

 

[Rackham]

The gaps could be really big today.

I suppose youre saying this tongue in cheek, but considering his team and their fetishes im actually surprised they let this happen, now that youve mentioned it

 

[Samamba]

Gaps are gonna be insane

Not even really that tongue-in-cheek, he did lose a lot of time together with Ben Turner yesterday, despite dropping off relatively late, it‘s quite unnecessary. But also understandable to save yourself as much as possible yesterday.

Froome worriedly trying to calculate the OTL time, prayer circles please

What do you mean, he‘s already beaten a whopping twelve guys at the first intermediate, he‘s flying!

 

[Landeirovic]

Sam Bennett did really good

 

[Alien Performance]

Can Chris 'dawg' Froome beat proven 4 Jours de Dunkerque GC winner Sam Bennett in this race of truth to secure his comeback?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Oh no, the Dawg has been passed by Oliver Naesen!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Oh no, the Dawg has been passed by Oliver Naesen!

It's them damn Van Rysel bikes again

 

[houtdffan]

lovely

Peacock has no sound today

 

[Potomac]

Thanks for posting. I was wondering if it was just me.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

It seems the Dawg has managed to follow Oliver Naesen, ruthlessly leaving his teammate Mason Hollyman behind.

Unironically one of his better post-crash time trials.
