Critérium du Dauphiné 2025, June 8 - 15

[QueenStagiaire]

No Romeo around today

 

[BubbaChuck]

pog looks like he is on awalk.c0ompletelly over heat.

Louis Barré in the group, incredible

They have Affini and Campenaerts for the flat stuff, and Van Aert, Yates and Jorgenson are not getting cut.

That leaves Kuss or Benoot - and if Benoot is perfoming in Switzerland (paired with the consistently good spring he has had), Kuss will be the odd man out IMO.

Personally I think it will take a lot for them to leave Kuss at home. He's always been there in the decisive moments. And he's not bad, just not in top shape yet.

The Visma water bottle doling out was mesmerizing.

 

[Lorzenz08]

Great training for pogi, he is building into top shape for the tour

So no Tullet? or is Benoot gone?

Kiss shows up in GTs. It’s his MO. He never looks great in the Dauphine.

the Rabo spirit still talks to us in so many different ways

 

[dobrien]

That was just a tester from Enrico, like when Bjarne dropped back on Hautacam to stare into his victims eyes.

From Monty Python to Bjarne Riis; impressive!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Jhonatan Narvaez most useful domestique highlights 2025, the next Porte?

Fancy him to win a stage and get mad grief for it in the tour actually.

Except for that time he won a stage in the Dauphiné

I get the emotional part, but the Tour is big business.

Also Kuss has been bad almost consistently since his Vuelta win.

He surely looked great in the 2020 Dauphiné

 

[Tim Cahill]

Oh man can't wait to watch the highly prestigious womens tour of switzerland after this race is over, I've been carefully avoiding any sort of information or highlights all day in anticipation.

I need an assist on this one bubba!

It's not about emotion, it's about the fact that Kuss always shows up when they really need him. And Tulett is a big question mark.

Spoiler

That should scare the bejebus out of Pogacar.

 

[noob]

I'm going balooning. Please be done in 15 minutes thank you

 

[YellowSocks]

Remco still hiding amongst the yellow bees neither seen nor known.

 

[red_flanders]

Remco dropping the aliens today would be the most interesting thing that could happen for cycling…

 

[houtdffan]

how again did Drunk Gouvenou call this final climb as 2 climbs?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Is this not just one big climb?

He didn't last year.
