Critérium du Dauphine Stage 5: Parc des Oiseaux - Les Gets

[just some guy]

So the 1st questions of team Sky and Brad in the mountains tomorrow.

Is he 2009 form or just a great ITT who can climb a bit

more to the point what will Bavarianrider say about Tony´s climbing ability ?

Maybe he will talk up Degenkolb´s climbing ability stay tuned for more adventures of the Bavarianrider

on a more serious note will Tommy V be in the break ?
Will there be any other nation besides the French in the break, they need a win and coming from the break is the best chance.

will J-Ron or VDB2 or Gesink go hard and early for the win will this break Brad will Jani and Cadel go?

Will El Pistolero and Dekker_Tifosi each watch the same stage but see different things about their boys and discuss it over 45 posts?

Will Brad hold on ?

How many times will Carlton Kirby go on about Brad being the Favourite for the tour?

Stage 5 210 km.............. maybe we will have some answer maybe there will be more Question stay tuned.

In the profile this looks so much tougher then it actuall is.
Hagen for the win

 

[dlwssonic]

bmc, astana, katusha, radioshack or sky to set a very hard pace on the climb. dont think wiggins will crack just yet. small group contesting the sprint with the likes of evans,vino,jrod. Or someone to sneek away on the last climb the likes of voeckler.

 

[maltiv]

I really hope EBH doesn't try to do anything here, he has spent a little too much energy in Dauphine already. It's important now that he doesn't go to deep before TDF. However, Sky might be tempted to use him to control the pace in the last climb, but Uran could be able to do that alone.

Vino for the win

 

[PedalCastro]

Roche to try and get a minute or two back after his TT

 

[taiwan]

Is it me, or do these numbers make no sense? Rodriguez or Voeckler FTW.

not nearly as hard as it looks.

Compare it with this profile from earlier in the season.

successive kilometres at between 9 and 13.5% for 5k

I would say that climb is harder than tommorows.

The result that day?

1st Gesink
2nd Boasson Hagen
3rd Devenyns
4th Vandevelde
5th Visconti

They don't make sense to me either. I have a 3,9-ish percent average over 10k. Not 4,8.

EDIT: maybe that 1 should be a 10 in the black part of the profile?
EDIT²: It should.
EDIT³: The use of color combined with the apparent gradients remains massively confusing

You're arguing that wasn't a hard climb? Because it was. Gesink was just the only real climber who went for it (okay, maybe Vande Velde is a climber as well).

I get the feeling that on the profile of the climb to Les Gets, where it says 1% it should be 10%.

why can take this for granted I think, but what about the red part with 1,4% ?!

Actually if km 3-4 is 10%, km 4-5 is 3.3%, and the rest follow in order it makes sense.

 

[just some guy]

So we have a 6.8 followed by a 10 % that will be where if there is damage will be done, then a 1.3 to go hard on. Looks a J-Rod finish to me.

 

[Angliru]

I was thinking the same especially with the black area labeled as "1" but it looks steeper than the preceding areas that are labeled as "4+".

Also found this:

OR

 

[jens_attacks]

purito and vino doing damage,wiggins is no doubt in 2009 form so if he's gonna lose some seconds it won't be tomorrow.cadel might attack him, it will be fun.

 

[hrotha]

This is pretty much the same as the stage Van den Broeck won. I don't expect Voeckler to screw it up again.

 

[maltiv]

This looks like another good chance for Purito to get second!

1. Voeckler
2. Joaqium Rodriguez
3. Evans

I think he's saying that Hagen has done well on climbs much harder than tomorrow's...

 

[theyoungest]

Nah, the final k is a lot less steep. So it's more suited to Voeckler than stage 1.

 

[niidirull]

Perhaps Moncoutie who hasn't shown himself will try something tomorrow or the days after it.

EDIT³: The use of color combined with the apparent gradients remains massively confusing

Green: Family Friendly
Blue: Alcohol sections
Red: Anything goes
Black: Mustaches only

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Jurgen, Titi, Purito, Gesink or Evans

no, where did i say that wasnt a hard climb???

Im saying tommorows climb doesnt look as tough as the green mountain stage that gesink won and boasson hagen finished second. So from that I am drawing the conclusion that riders of the likes of Boasson Hagen could finish inside the top ten (making allowances for february form/competition versus now)

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Jurgen, Titi, Purito, Gesink or Evans

Nah, Gesink looks forward to the weekend stages. I think he'll softpedal again tomorrow
