Critérium du Dauphiné 2025, June 8 - 15

[Tim Cahill]

Looks like Milan is hard dropped 2 minutes down? Don’t think he would be making it back after that last climb anyway tbh, think breakaway stage.

Yeah, Milan, Ackermann, Penhoet, Page, Healy are in that group. But also half of Trek are down there helping Milan, so they probably haven't given up yet.

Still, 2:40 it says atm, a lot of hard work would be necessary probably.

Not sure about a breakaway stage, VdP should be interested and you never know if Pogi develops an appetite during the stage.

 

[Red Rick]

Why pull now when you get drop Milan for good on the cat 3 at 19k to go?

 

[Heston]

Remco attack according to PCS? What is happening?

 

[Boehmand]

...and so many other things...

Sure, but you have to prioritise!

1. Who wins the 2025 Tour
2. Kill Hitler

Remco attack according to PCS? What is happening?

And now Lipo. To bad we don't have pictures...

 

[YavorD]

Remco attack according to PCS? What is happening?

It's probably because of the sprint.
There are bonus seconds, I think.

Or he is just showing his balls.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Zero chance of Magnus Cort achieving a result at Dauphiné. He's not even sure he can complete the race.

"I simply couldn't keep up. I was really struggling. I got tired towards the end of the stage, even though I hadn't been riding at an impressive wattage." (Tv2.dk)

This sound so serious that he might not get in shape for the Tour.

Now Lipowitz is 20 seconds in front of the peloton together with Schachmann and 4 other riders.
This makes no sense, but I guess it's fun.

 

[Boehmand]

Pogacar took 2 seconds and Evenepoel 1 second at the bonus sprint.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lipowitz is on great form according to his teammate Pithie. If true this makes no sense, though they have 30 seconds and that group is pretty stacked.

Especially with the TT tomorrow in mind. But I guess they think "we ain't winning the Dauphiné against the Aliens, so yolo!"

Now vdP is in the group as well.

 

[YavorD]

They will probably force Lippo to go back as the peloton will chase this hard.

 

[Heston]

Are the GC teams just gonna let Lipowitz ride off in the break? Surely not

 

[Boehmand]

Flat for Bardet, just as the move goes

MvdP is in the move now as well.

 

[Boehmand]

8 minutes until we get pictures

 

[Devil's Elbow]

They will probably force Lippo to go back as the peloton will chase this hard.

Between Romeo, Leknessund and Dunbar this group will also be chased even if Lipowitz drops back.

 

[Netserk]

I cannot imagine that Visma and UAE will wait for the other team to chase Lipo down. Just hit the front hard asap and signal to the rest of the break that they better ditch him.

Really? On discovery+ it's like 2 hours from now that the broadcast will start.
Which would be sad for me, but also good for me, I was about to start reading a text for work lol (homeoffice is dangerous).

 

[YavorD]

Between Romeo, Leknessund and Dunbar this group will also be chased even if Lipowitz drops back.

I think they wouldn't care that much about Romeo and Leknessund, 3 even 4 minutes probably won't be a problem, but Dunbar may be a problem, I think.

 

[Tim Cahill]

UAE panic stations, they should’ve sent Team Soler up front so Visma have to do it, not fancying Johnny Milan’s chances of making it back any time soon.

 

[Heston]

50 seconds now. Visma and UAE panic soon?

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

50 seconds now. Visma and UAE panic soon?

Honestly I don't think so. They might want to keep the break on a leash that isn't to long not to get it back but long enough not to provoke any more attacks. I say at 1:30 or something like this they start resisting more seriously. But wituout pictures this of course is more phropecy than knowledge.

 

[Netserk]

Pogi will have to ride the ITT in green if the break sticks.
