Criterium du Dauphine 2014: Stage 2, Tarare - Col du Beal

[Vino attacks everyone]

Nibali to top 5 today. Slongo is sceptical about him following Froomester today.

 

[Arredondo]

I'm curious to see what Konig can do today. He hasn't raced much due to knee problems, so he has to fly today.

Froome to follow on Contadors wheel as they ride off the peleton, when Wiggo disguised as a fan jumps out from crowd and pretends to give him a friendly push, knocking him to the ground.

AC solos for win.

Hugh

 

[JRanton]

The dawg to go full ***, in an effort to drop everybody, AC to follow his wheel, 500 m from the line AC goes along side him and asks: "Was that all?", then turns into road runner mode and takes the stage.

Standing on the podium Alberto gently whispers to the dawg "Just wait till July mi amigo!" and gives the pistolero sign to the public.

In that scenario, Alberto should say ''How's that coffee, Froomey?'' as he drops him.

 

[Shardi]

Dont think Froome will be able to drop Contador, eventho its a gradient which is favorable for him. There will be a small group-sprint at the end with a few last km digs. Few sec between the main contenders.

Reza, Brandle, De Marchi, Gougeard and Damuseau have 4' on the peloton.

Thanks!......

 

[JRanton]

Slow pace in the peloton. Think Sky were waiting for Zandio who was struggling at the back.

 

[Arnout]

Funny how in France this sort of final climb is HC

 

[ILovecycling]

Ok,exam passed,now you can bring the action!

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

How is this an "HC" climb?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

[ILovecycling]

Lol why this slow pace?
They dont want a stage or what

 

[JRanton]

Break could hold on here.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Lol why this slow pace?
They dont want a stage or what

[Moose McKnuckles]

Crash, nothing serious it appears.

 

[ILovecycling]
