Criterium du Dauphine (2.UWT), 3-10 June

[wouterkaas]

Peloton regrouped now. According to Sporza Bardet missed the split and had his team pull back the 'breakaway'

 

[Breh]

Zakarin was in the front group for once!

That podium in Paris is a certainty now.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Cataldo stretching his legs - good

 

[Dedelou]

Lotto rider already in virtual yellow. smiles , sky to the trenches at the front protecting their TTT gains

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Get ready for the AG2R fireworks on Mont Noir

 

[Robert5091]

Mont Noir climb begins with about 55km to go so things will slow down soon.

 

[Netserk]

Eh, we won't even see the descent of Mont Noir...

[Climbing]

Probably there won't be much to see anyway, but you never know.

 

[DNP-Old]

At this point we'll be lucky to see the last 10 kilometer. :lol:

 

[fantomas]

Broadcast won't start until 15:24 CEST, that's in 30 minutes and there are 30 k left.

Edit: I blame it on Bora's Twitter. They said they had done Mont Noir, obviously they hadn't. So still 45 k to go.

 

[Robert5091]

At least we should see the podium presentations!

 

[alexix7]

Eurosport is real trash in TV broadcast.

 

[Netserk]

The blame is entirely on France TV.

Re:

Correct, Eurosport has to rely on the host broadcaster.

 

[Rollthedice]

it is live

 

[Der Effe]

Yup. I have no idea what the broadcasters were thinking. You don't have to go live at 13.00 obviously, 14.30 would've been good enough though.

Yep, but no one thought that the entire peloton would be in TT-mode for the first two hours.

 

[Netserk]

Ah, we were previously misinformed - thankfully they aren't as far ahead as initial reports would have us believe.

 

[deValtos]

I can't even log on eurosport player for some reason.

 

[MartinGT]

Cataldo eating on the climb here. He must have learnt that from the Sky Marginal gains hand book

 

[Oliver]

Sporza is live.
Cataldo is descending.

Fuelling!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Boring, no GC contender did anything, on the first big mountain, in a 1 week race

 

[Climbing]

Descent looks dangerous.

 

[MartinGT]

Starting to rain
