Critérium du Dauphiné 2025, June 8 - 15

[Boehmand]

I think we definitely seen that. Vingegaard will be better next month too.

Agreed, he fought back much better today.

They can still have hope for the last mountains stages at the Tour and the fatigue of a 3 week race hitting Pogacar.

It's a small hope - but it's there.

 

[YavorD]

I don't quite agree to the monuments analogy.

The "top" is wider in the monuments (especially when you consider all 5)

In stage racing there is only 2 (3 if you add flat'ish stage races (and Evenepoel)).

Yes, I could agree with you.
I should have referred to spring classics.

But the main point stays.
MVDP would have 11 or 12 monuments without Pogacar and that wouldn't be much better.

So satisfying seeing him rub Visma's face in the dirt. They thought they had it all figured out.

 

[Rou]

Crazy difference. Pogacar with his mouth closed.

 

[nightowl]

I know reading facial expressions is a fool’s game but Pogacar looked so easy there while Vingegaard was dying on the bike. Pogacar was also checking his power meter the whole time it really looked like he was purposely riding within himself vs Vingegaard going all out.

 

[Salvarani]

Remco needs to find his spiritual center. The aggro is slowing him down

He definitely needs to find his happy place

 

[Rou]

Nice training ride today. Will be interesting what Pogacar can do with a pace from Almeida and a leadout from Majka.

 

[scribers]

Pogi always looks uncertain what to do about his celebration expression

 

[QueenStagiaire]

First 8 UCI points for the Cofidis rescue ticked off

 

[Boehmand]

Jorgenson at 5:35

 

[Potomac]

Jorgenson really blew

 

[Rou]

Remco 2:39 down and Pogacar was containing himself.

 

[perico]

Tour de France weight Evenepoel isn't quite what I thought it would be.

[TrekCyclist]

Pogacar with another "f... you" to Vingegaard, by sitting up early and rolling slowly across while celebrating

Yeah, thats what we like to see in professional sports.... can't even remember Armstrong doing that kind of stuff

 

[CyclistAbi]

He didn't get his own bottle, he got a bottle for Sivakov, then rode casually all the way to the front and handed it off and had a chat with him - to then casually slot back into position in the group.

Maybe you should have watched the race afterall?

Is there a word in Danish for that? Maybe something in the line of Kuss with an additional e and an additional umlaut?

What a difference a few weeks makes

 

[James M]

Crazy difference. Pogacar with his mouth closed.

He wasnt even trying and wasnt remotely tired it seemed,, he wasnt close to pushing hard to give away anything while the other is completely dead at his tail. Its night and day thats just the reality, litearlly night and day.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Jorgenson really blew

But I'm still not ready to give up on my feeling that he's their real leader for the Tour.

 

[Rackham]

Agreed, he fought back much better today.

They can still have hope for the last mountains stages at the Tour and the fatigue of a 3 week race hitting Pogacar.

It's a small hope - but it's there.

It seemed like Pog was toying with Vingegaard a bit there. Just measuring his effort according to the gap behind.

Lipowitz closed down 10 seconds or so on Pog at the end as well.

 

[Muren]

Popi supreme as always. Doesn't even look tired.

Vinge way better than yesterday, time distance to the rest show that.

Remco over 2 minutes back. Yikes.

 

[ice&fire]

Pogačar not celebrating before the lines yesterday and today is insulting.

He's probably as bored as everyone else

 

[Miha81]

Tour de France weight Evenepoel isn't quite what I thought it would be.

I am sure you are not the only one.

 

[KoopaCycling]

Evenepoel solid, but not good enough for 3rd place.
After him saying he was in TdF shape i was expecting a bit more.
At the same time his results are in line with last year. Only Lipo relegating him to 4th this time around in the dauphine.

I like evenepoel, but uphill he'll probably always be behind Pogacar and Vingegaard. He's gonna need to take time on mid-mountain stages. Find a way to raid those.

 

[Netserk]

Now he‘s really started softpedalling, probably for the mental knock of celebrating in sight.

Tomorrow he will drop back just to get the chance to attack and drop Vingegaard again at the finish on flat roads.

But he still isn't the arrogant one of the two.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Jonas really positive in the interview. Says the numbers and situation (?) was quite similar to Plateau de Beille
