Criterium du Dauphine 2014: Stage 1, (Lyon-Lyon TT 10,4 km)

[Netserk]

Froome 3rd fastest in the last part after Jungels and Kelderman. Impressive with that headwind he had

Must've taken a buck load on the descent

 

[rhubroma]

I think Alberto did as well as could be expected, not having raced since April. Froome demonstrated he is the best GC time trialist, however, he also benefited from riding last and the Romandie TT not too long ago.

Tomorrow will be important for both, not forgetting that Nibali also road exceptionally well today.

 

[JRanton]

All of the big three did much better than I thought. Good week ahead.

 

[Cimber]

Froome as expected, AC much better than expected

After the prologue today Froome tuned off his powermeter and went for a four hour ride....

It wasnt a prologue, but a short TT (a prologue is less than 8 km)

Whatever it was it was entertaining and an MTF tomorrow. Great TT course today.

Froome the terrible bike handler wins the most technical prologue in years

Totally believable. I'll be in the next subforum over if anyone needs me

Can you give one example of Froome being a terrible bike handler?

 

[christopherrowe]

Looking at the way teams performed, it's interesting to me to see that other than Tejay, BMC's riders didn't trouble themselves much at all to put out huge efforts. Is this indicative of a team plan to conserve energy or are the other members of the squad simply not that great against the clock at these short distances, I wonder?

Good job by Froome; if he's stronger than the rest by that margin proportionally in the mountains too, the forum will be lots of fun during the Tour de France.

well besides the 3 contenders performs as they expected, this youngster Jungels should be the one who steals the show. I hope Trek starts putting more effort to develop this kid in to the leader of the team. And forget about hoping for Andy to come back. This kid has a great pedigree. Good ITT, dare devil descent and good in the mountain. What else you can ask? Andy? ITT suck, descent like a grandma, only good in mountain, and not to mention a big cry baby whiner. I'll be rooting for this kid Hope he can finish top 10.

Nice 4th place by Kelderman and 5th place by Boom!

 

[DenisMenchov]

So JVDB beats all mighty time trialist Kwiatkowski

 

[Butterhead]

I saw what I needed to see. Bring July, the freak is up for some serious whipping. 2 months without racing and he go out and do this?

His pedaling looks so much better, he still struggles with the damn saddle, but maybe its just how hes build and the regulations that simply doesnt fit together.

But anyway, bring July I say, the game is on.

Maybe he'd like it better without the saddle. Would be stucked, for sure.
Froome certainly makes him feel like without the saddle.

Why are you so bitter?
It would do him good... he'd be spinning his legs faster.

It's not bitterness, obviously. I believe Butterhead is responding to the juvenile and tasteless nature of the quoted comment.

I didnt bother to answer your first post, but hey, I think you deserve one anyway.

You really think trolling around the internet with sick shyt like this will change anything? Maybe you should spend less time on trolling and more time polishing your fan boy picture of Froomey. I my self had a race horse once, some like horses, some like donkeys, you obviously likes the last category.
