Critérium du Dauphiné May 30-June 6 2021

[Red Rick]

Honestly surprised to see this much snow in the Dauphine

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Time gaps are all over the place, it jumped 45 seconds in 2 minutes.

Well they are at almost 2000m and there's been a lot of snow in Europe this year and later than usually.

 

[Tobi]

Great to see Valgren

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Are 2 guys up the road from the break - or dropped?

Valgren and one other guy are not in the group?

Honestly surprised to see this much snow in the Dauphine

We've had one of the coldest May in many years in Europe

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Here we go, Haller and Valgren in front.

 

[BlueRoads]

Two yellow jerseys in the peloton.

 

[tobydawq]

Did Izagirre steal Lutsenko's jacket?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Valgren storming down the mountain, attacking out of every corner.

Haller is an excellent descender and can't keep up.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Great to see that Movistar wants to race today and we wont get a useless breakaway winner

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Intro interview with Valgren:

Saying he doesn't think a break will make it today, but that he wants to hit the break anyway, to test himself.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Valverde to return the favour to Lopez ? They are in a nice position with numbers at the front of the peloton and Arcas still in the break

 

[BlueRoads]

Great pictures.

 

[sir fly]

Great pictures.

The landscape's nice, the stream not so much.
Mine at least.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Intro interview with Bjerg:

Saying he doesn't think a break will make it today, but that he still want's to hit the break, both to test his climbing shape, and because it means he can ride the last climb gentler (after getting caught).

 

[broppo]

crazy good ride by the debutant Hundahl!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Valgren just keeps punching it, he is not waiting for anyone today.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Bjerg catching the front 4 back on the flat - but it seems his descending needs some work

 

[Samu Cuenca]

crazy good ride by the debutant Hundahl!

Yeah, I could see him win some classics in the future.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

7 k till the climb starts.

A lot of riders need to attack fairly early today, if they want to do something on GC.

I'd be surprised if this becomes a "last 2 k" type thing.

 

[MartinGT]

Dawg in the fun bus already?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

The peloton is going to be completely gassed when they hit the climb, Movistar is really dropping the hammer.

 

[perico]

Now even the Cycling News Tour tracker has an official Froome Tracker that tells you how far he is behind the main group.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

The riders in the break didn't want to play with the frenchies
