Critérium du Dauphiné 2025, June 8 - 15

he put 3 minutes (or thereabouts) into pog in Cardiff in 48 kms (and pog medaled in the road race, so in shape).

Yeah, remind me when was the last time when Pogacar was outside of top 20 in a GT TT? Never? That alone shows that Pogacar wasn't in shape for the TT/was too tired from the RR.

On form Pogacar beats Oliveira 9/10 in a GT TT and Oliveira didn't even lose 2 minutes on this TT.

I would say between 1.30 and 2 minutes is possible over 50 kilometres, but hardly more than that.

 

[Sciatic]

Pffft

 

[Red Rick]

Negative 150 IQ racing by Pogacar and Evenepoel not attacking while Vingegaard is positioned in Alcatraz

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Wait what happened? Wasn't Lippowitz "dropped" by the 3 guys attacking and driving the group with MVDP at his wheel and suddenly he went over the top in first position?
Did he close the gap and bounced away off camera?

 

[Lequack]

This tiny climb is hyped more than the Poggio in Sanremo race. Doubt anything happens.

As predicted nothing did happen, even though Vingegaard was caught in the back, Pog & Remco could've easily attacked and gained time.

The Not Fantastic 4.

All hype, no glory.

He's a German Almeida.

 

[nightowl]

Vingegaard was stuck way down the pack and no attack??

No violence today. Vingo out of position couldn’t entice pogi

 

[Boehmand]

boring

Think so, I was surprised as well and wondering the same.
He did make up time fast once the 12% section was over he doesn't like so much. Guess he paced himself rather well.

Vingegaard shows strength once and Pogacar stops aggro immediately.

 

[Brullnux]

Decent effort from Milan but I think this goes to the break here

 

[Heston]

As expected they were not gonna risk it with the TT tomorrow.

Lipo with the big brain pull lol

Maybe they just didn't realize.

Yeah, Leknessund did pretty much the same

Pogačar almost fainted and had to be led out of the mixed zone after the 2023 WC RR , so no, he was not in any shape at all for the TT.

That said, Remco is a fantastic time-trialler.

Problem is pogi crew still chasing so might as well left everyone to nose in the wind

 

[Mayomaniac]

Vino option!

 

[Didinho]

Mathieu better attack in the end before he has to counter everyone alone.

then indeed we are in total agreement.

if you read on I said that in a traditional TDF with 100 kms flat ITT, Remco might gain at most 3-4 minutes (exactly what you are saying). And then I said, pog would still not have too much issue getting that back and more in the MTFs.

Please read the full post, I know that it is always easiest to grab hold of one conditional statement and argue with that without taking in the entire more nuanced post.

cheers.

Securing his spot on the Tour team

 

[Danskebjerge]

Nice old-school racing towards the end of this 3rd stage.

Cardiff??? Glasgow? (how to offend two celtic nations in one post)
