Critérium du Dauphiné May 30-June 6 2021

[Devil's Elbow]

Dammit, bad day for Asgreen

Too hilly for the non-climbers today, nothing to do with legs. Bjerg and Cerny prove the point.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Excellent TT for GC this, where lighter riders can actually gain time too - it's not just for the "watt monsters".

I hope ASO does something similar (but longer) for future Tours.

 

[Billie]

The timetrial bike from Willier for Astana must be a new model since start of May? Vlasov and Sobrero with very good TT's in il Giro and now Izaguirre and Luts.

They used to be really bad at TTs early in the season and last year.

EDIT: it might now be the fastest bike in the world

 

[Bonimenier]

Wilco faded compared to Izaguirre.

Everyone did

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Wilco faded compared to Izaguirre.

He did better than Porte, though.

 

[Bonimenier]

GT with a cadence of 20 per minute.

Yes, but on the other hand, the pure climbers are losing massive time.

Interesting TT.

 

[Red Rick]

Remember when Ineos were all 'bout that cadence?

 

[Bonimenier]

WOW ASTANA

 

[Red Rick]

GT with a cadence of 20 per minute.

Trying to crack his knees harder than old man Baldverde

 

[Wvv]

Locotsenko.

 

[Escarabajo]

Quintana continues his failed campaign at Arkea. 3 weeks in Colombia was enough to put some extra "maduros" in that belly!!! He looks heavier.
Lol!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Astana . . .

 

[Red Rick]

WOW ASTANA

Astana in final year of contract?

 

[SafeBet]

LUTSENKO!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Right, what are Astana doing

 

[JosefK]

2nd half of TT a strange story.

 

[woodburn]

Woah. Lutsenko killed the second half.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Second half is clearly where you can make big differences.

 

[gregrowlerson]

GT with a cadence of 20 per minute.

Lance Armstrong was cadence.

Gerraint Thomas is decadence.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This isn't February Alexey, you shouldn't be up there right now.

He didn't listen.

 

[Panda Claws]

Quintana continues his failed campaign at Arkea. 3 weeks in Colombia was enough to put some extra "maduros" in that belly!!! He looks heavier.
Lol!

Quintana is not done yet. He bulked up his legs in order for the Tour. He is gonna cut now and will be more than ready.

 

[tobydawq]

Lol, Dennis Ritter suggests that Vino may know a shortcut on the route since he has lived in France for many years

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Has Vino issued a new directive to the team?

 

[tobydawq]

G faded a lot.

I like him but that is really a gift to the race.
