Critérium du Dauphiné 2025, June 8 - 15

Pog didn't even sprint for the 2nd place. Disrespectful.

Sharing the spoils

 

[Rackham]

Matt Stephens is unbearably positive with his commentary. Vinge finishing second and sprinting was a way of showing Pog something, apparently.

 

[Red Rick]

Vingegaard and Pogacar did turns as if they agreed to continue past the finish and just do a private Strava KOM battle on the Finestre

I guess whatever he does is disrespectful

 

[Rou]

Pogacar doesn't even care about Vingegaard anymore...

 

[solo80k]

Pogi today was officially on the limit. He was only able to respond to Jonas and even lost the sprint for the second place.

Congrats to Martinez on a strong performance. The only one from the breakaway not swallowed by the mutants. Vingo and Pogi not in the mood for a fierce rivalry today. They were chatting during the climb, Vingo's attack was quite late (to show himself on TV) and then they were even cooperating...for nothing (Lenny was too far) and their sprint was legendary. And Pogi won the race OFC.

That could have been fun.

"Guys... guys... STOP! Where are you going?"

Pogacar accidentally winning green as well?

Lenny wins a stage of a race I can’t even spell and he acts like he just won the tour

Thanks for the synchronized skiiing piece. Just what I needed today

 

[wirral]

I don't know how that works.

Before the Dauphine, I expected Lenny Martinez to do really well at the race. Then he is dropped relatively early on at least 3 stages, looking in trouble before stepping up to win the final stage in incredible style.

He is back on track.

I would love to know the explanation.

 

[Salvarani]

Great win for Pog!

Another big one-week race added to his incredible palmares

Susa is just 25 km of downhill from the plateau. Waiting for some news in the evening!

 

[CatchyH]

Pogacar not winning on purpose seems even more disrespectful than him dominating the field. He's basically saying you can have it, i don't want it/don't care for it.

He is washed. Just crawling towards his last pro win

He was struggling with allergies from what I've read in French papers.

One man's allergies is another man's excuse. We have reached the GUBU era in cycling (Grotesque Unbelievable Bizarre Unprecedented).

Wonder what the forum would say if dropped another bomb today.
Are you not entertained?

The point is to complain about everything Pogacar does. If he had won the fourth stage, he'd be seen as a bully and disrespectful to the break. If he doesn't win, it's also disrespectful.

I don't want Pog to crash but I'd be happy if he retired and became a Tibetan monk.

The same people would criticize him again. For dishonoring the sport and not being ambitious

In every race there is a different criticism no matter what he do.

Vingegaard comes away with 6 x 2nd place - GC and 5 of the 8 stages.

I caught him breathing today. Such a monster, how can he.

New Sagan!
