Critérium du Dauphiné 2025, June 8 - 15

[Netserk]

Jorgenson attacks. Would be a great stage to watch. A shame it isn't a weekend stage, so they cannot possibly film it from the beginning ...

 

[Red Rick]

In a prep race, I think it's okay to FAFO. But yes, they should have done their own tempo with their own train from the bottom if this was the Tour.

Very true.

I also expect there to be more variability in response to such intervals in the Dauphine than in the Tour. And the Tour simply does not have climbs like this at all, unless UAE wanna smash headfirst into the Ventoux which can have a tailwind in the forested section.

PCS has Jorgensen at a small gap in front of the peloton in chase group 1 but only around 15 seconds

I don't think 140km of TT would have improved his GC position in 2024 - Jonas and Pogi are time trial monsters.

they've both had some truly bad TTs as well

One thing that 2 long flat ITTs would do is make Vingo and Pog come in 1-2kg heavier for TT power. Would that affect their climbing times? Or would they concede minutes in the ITTs and trust they would gain them back in the mountains?

For the life of me, I will never understand why the ASO create such a stage - and then make the decision to not broadcast until over 2.5 hours after it has started

Novak dropped, been useless for ages, get one of the terrible twosome, Juan or Del Toro in the squad instead, it will be far more entertaining for the fans.

They come only in package.

 

[Red Rick]

Not sure why this is supposed to be must-watch television? You get these groups with a small gap then Pogacar sneezes towards the top and it's closed if at all necessary

 

[CyclistAbi]

Stage for Visma to respond or to start focusing on Vuelta.

Yeah sure Pogačar just closes down everybody and the GC guys stay together through that.

Novak was the 2nd best dom this year after Majka.
What are you on ?????

 

[Heston]

ASO can produce full stage tv on 200 km flat stages in the Tour, but they cannot be bothered to film Madeleine and Croix de Fer in Dauphine?

Where was he good this year so far? He was great last season but this year he‘s been struggling a lot.

I know right? Imagine wanting to watch the race 🤢🤮

Here we go already, Paret-Peintre and that small-minded, potato-tactic team are already frying again. I just can't be arsed to take their small-minded, potato mentality seriously.

I must’ve missed that race

If he wasn’t friends with Pogacar he’d be battling admirably for a Top 15 at this years Tour of the Outer Hebrides.

Nobody is forcing you to watch it (I hope!) - so cool with me if you do something else with your life

 

[Netserk]

Jorgenson should attack again with 4 km to the top.

Is Kuss.

I will NOT stand for you besmirching the good name of potatoes!

They are obviously working on the theory that the riders make the race

 

[Tim Cahill]

How is Wellens dropped, he was incredible yesterday, strange stuff

 

[James M]

Ivan Romeo, just like Vacek, is a super gem for the future.

The guy has a big, big engine, along with Super Saiyan-level outright power numbers—both for 40-second spurts and 3-minute efforts,combined with a big engine, the guy gonne have a bright bright future. Ivan Romeo been on my bingo card all year of intrigueing riders to watch, love to see it Ivan. Taking big steps wasnt surprising just like Vacek giving how he ended the year. I want more lvl up relative to others in the future too.

 

[No Excuses]

Is Kuss.

Yes, accoarding to eurosports it is Sepptimus

He's probably tired of looking at Remco's butt.
