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

[Flamin]

So Latour bridged with the front group, 1'10" up the road. Not bad.

 

[Laplaz]

Romaaaain

 

[Red Rick]

Bardet used descent on Geraint Thomas

It's super effective

 

[Eclipse]

Based Bardet

 

[Salvarani]

Go Bardet

 

[Flamin]

Clearly waited for the more technical part of the descent. Allez Romain!

 

[Rollthedice]

Allez Romain!

 

[SafeBet]

Ag2r is doing it right. Alaphilippe attacking too.

Let's hope it's also a critical hit!!

 

[Red Rick]

I don't understand why Alaphilippe didn't go with Bardet in the first place.

 

[Salvarani]

Sky killing every race one race at a time

 

[Rollthedice]

And, back together.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Ticker was way out, said almost 30s to Thomas but it’s only around 12-13s

 

[Red Rick]

Aaaand the gap is gone

News at 11.

 

[SlickMongoose]

Yates seems to have vanished.

In this case it was Alaphilippe who brought Bardet back. He should have gone with him in the first place.

No he didn't. Him and Benoot had a gap, but Castro just reeled them and Bardet in.

They had about 3s tops, but would have still assisted Castro for a bit whilst trying to break away.

 

[Red Rick]

Really should have isolated Thomas before attacking him on the descnent. Especially Castro is too big an engine to be there on the flatter sections.

As they should.
They have the leaders jersey.
When they didnt they exploded the *** out of it.

A little bit, but it's just a sidenote. Castro was about to reel in Bardet anyway.

OMG they have animated one stage in 9 years. Praise be to the Lord in the Sky

 

[glassmoon]

Hope LRP will do some recon of that descend before the TdF...

I know

I just wanted to post that though

 

[Bolder]

Think Bardet's max gap was around 15 seconds, but it does show that there's time to be gained with better technique and less effort than on the climbs. You still have to reel him back. Should be a fun last climb!

Now, if only there was a descent ITT. That would be perfect for Romain.
