Critérium du Dauphiné 2025, June 8 - 15

[Boehmand]

Cycling is a dying breed, they said, as supposedly nobody is willing to watch it anymore.

In fairness, breeding a bicycle is quite difficult - believe me.

 

[CyclistAbi]

You’re concerned about this aren’t you Abi, nervous he might be looking a bit too good out there, hoping he tanks a bit to ward off the leadership battle on the horizon.

Quite the contrary, leading such squad is a privilege by itself. So lets hope Lipo finishes high in GC, today should be telling.

I don’t think you can 1-2 this version

They know if they go with him to the last climb its over for them so at least this is their only chance forcing him to make a mistake

 

[Gratemans]

I know it's been said before, but it's just absolutely ridiculous there's no live footage. It's like only broadcasting the second half of a football match, having to watch the first half on livescore.

Do you by any chance know if there is a word for that in Danish?

 

[James M]

There you go. Paret-Peintre and their potato tactics. A true potato team. @Tim Cahill Classic Quick-Step.

 

[Netserk]

Jorgenson should attack before the steepest part, and if he gets a gap, Kuss should drop back and pace him up to the break.

 

[CyclistAbi]

In world of instagrams they go and leave the viewers dangling for hours.

What should they have done?

 

[Didier_Bel]

Where are you watching this ? Eurosport only starts broadcasting in 30’ …

According to PCS Novak was 2:30 behind 5 minutes ago and now is in the peloton

Without images, it's difficult to decipher because the data provided by PCS isn't correct. Novak has been mistaken for Wellens before.

It's an old process from the Viking Age called knæhøj karse med bred ymer. It's the reason we've just surpassed 6 million inhabitants for the first time.

 

[Tim Cahill]

If Valentin hadn’t spent so many biscuits mowing down Benjamin he other day perhaps he makes it over the mountain in the group.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

PCS is only making reports based on informations from the internet and the organisation‘s live ticker. I don‘t know why people think some random Dutch guys with too Little server space have 50 motorbikes and 100 drones around the race and are tracking the bikes.

 

[James M]

What should they have done?

Quickstep, specifically the likes of Casper Pedersen and Pascal Eenkhoorn have offended me by chasing down a Benjamin Thomas+misc French randomers move for no apparent reason yesterday, leaving Lidl with all their leadout.

I usually quite like the kid Evenepoel but when he dropped today I couldn't help but crack a smile. Serves him right, that one was for Benjamin.

Unchained seems to have taken a specific dislike to EF for some reason, we have been getting several paragraph rants every day about the ins and outs of how they rode the stage. Though Baudin was quite good today so he might not be as upset.

Context. It was just a bit of fun not serious at all. They done nothing wrong. ( team and riders was randomly picked, its really not serious at all)

Do I laugh or cry on this one? I need guidance.

 

[Netserk]

Tulett better blow it up after SCdV.

Not quite, the closest I can get is "objektofili" - but that does not cover the actual procreation

I see, some sort of breed hammer, good to know that.

Been there.

You forgot the all-important qualification "rødgrød med fløde"!

Tulett better blow it up after SCdV.

Croix de Fer (from the hardest side) is a huge climb and the last few km before Glandon are quite nasty. One team could really explode the race if enough horsepower is there.

 

[Boehmand]

It literally means "knee-high watercress with wide (Danish) yogurt" - not sure how much of a "guidance" that is though

 

[Boehmand]

Been there.

I too was procreated - we have so much in common

 

[Samu Cuenca]

That only comes if you choose to eat the placenta, or in this case the inner tube.
