Critérium du Dauphiné 2024, June 2 - 9

[tobydawq]

Sosa inside the time limit.

 

[Bolder]

Some solid rides there. Hart did quite well and could be a GC factor.

 

[Landeirovic]

where is Van Wilder?

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Well done Remco. World ITT champ wins a ITT (expected). Now transfer it to the mountains against the best. Then you will deserve your spot in the "Battle of the big 4" thread.

 

[Snake]

All this talk about bad shape and recoveries from crashes, and in the end Roglic and Evenepoel perform exactly like one would expect at this stage of their Tour prep.

Remco might still be in "bad shape", he's just too strong on tt, after all he won a tt with covid last year. Only mountains will tell us if he's bluffing

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Oooooh, just spotted a vintage Citroen while they were showing Remco's replay, love those cars!

Also, Remco speaking French in his post-race interview, I don't speak French.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Roglic problem with the warmup or pacing error maybe, I was thinking the race is all over at T1

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Gee 6th, wow!

Especially considering Fuglsang is saying their TT setup is crop.

 

[KenFiamingo]

Definitely a confidence boost for Evenepoel, but he's gonna get his a$$ kicked on Friday's MTF.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Roglic problem with the warmup or pacing error maybe, I was thinking the race is all over at T1

Doesn't Roglic often start pretty conservative and then finishes strong?

 

[Rackham]

Workmanlike from Roglič.

Looking at the parcours that's pretty much where he's expected to finish. It seems like he's heading in the right direction with one month of preparation to go.

Doesn't Roglic often start pretty conservative and then finishes strong?

Yep. Almost every time.

 

[Miha81]

So World Champion 1st, European Champion 2nd and Olympic Champion 3rd.

Not quite a TT profile for Rogla but he did very good.

I hope we finally have a race now

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Jorgenson looking very good


And a great ride from Gee

 

[AnotherArmChair]

I still think Remco wont podium this race but he will be good in the Tour

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Every race is a beautiful race according to remco ...and all team mates and staff and sponsors are super special

 

[Tim Cahill]

Doesn't Roglic often start pretty conservative and then finishes strong?

He does, but this was on the extreme end I think, if nothing was wrong it's absolutely a pacing error

 

[Taxus4a]

Primoz absolutely getting his ass kicked

No way this guy is getting remotely close in July.

Roglic would be very second this Giro and can avoid Pogacar go just to play and train, but he is not rival for Tour de france for those guys...I dont believe a big 6, just a big 5, and Roglic a very good rider with a very good palmares.
antway if you see the ITT of la Vuelta, Evenepoel put more time on him..so it has been a very good ITT for Roglic, he is second at GC and he is one on the main favourites to win Dauphine. The only probnlen¡m is the presure to belive he is a super rider as Pogacar, Vingegaard or Evenepoel.

 

[Andre]

Go where?

to the victory

 

[Tim Cahill]

The amount of riders sandbagging in the press at the moment is reaching breaking point, tedious stuff.

Someone can become an instant favourite by going out and saying something audacious, I want to hear from Skjelmose, he might do it.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Gee very impressive considering went of teh wrong way at the beginning and got his pacing wrong ..as he says ...maybe he could podium ...looks very good

 

[Gigs_98]

Remco might still be in "bad shape", he's just too strong on tt, after all he won a tt with covid last year. Only mountains will tell us if he's bluffing

I fully agree that this result doesn't mean he'll be flying this weekend, but I also wouldn't compare it to the Giro TT. He barely beat Thomas and TGH there, while this time he had a decent margin on Roglic and no other gc contender is within a minute. This was a really good TT, even for his standard.

 

[AmRacer]

So, R&R have recovered from their injuries. I'd expect Jonas to be in top shape at the start of the Tour.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Roglic would be very second this Giro and can avoid Pogacar go just to play and train, but he is not rival for Tour de france for those guys...I dont believe a big 6, just a big 5, and Roglic a very good rider with a very good palmares.

Can I get some of that you're taking?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Marc Soler perfectly positioned on GC to attack and gain back time on his team leader at the weekend

 

[durtyfat7]

How was Landa's ride? I guess he can also improve alot for the Tour
