Criterium du Dauphine-Stage 6

[zapata]

szmyd back on already, and attacing!

 

[franciep10]

contador is going to crack

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Smydz is with them.
And he attacks!

 

[pedaling squares]

jani is just too good. bertie is losing iit and will not win the tour! the lance fans must be loving it. his rival can even drop one of his lieutenants.

When did you become a troll?

szmyd is only 5 mins back of tejay

Riders can wreck their Tours at the Dauphine. Lance nearly did against Mayo.

Landis in the year he won the Tour almost couldn't pedal in some of the Dauphine mountain stages. Like half an hour off the back.

Biochemistry/blood cycle is the key.

Would be great for Szmyd to win the Alpe! What a reward for all his work...

Ventoux last year and Alpe D'Huez this year. That would be great.

Contador is not at the Dauphine to peak...

Would Jani be there to peak? i doubt it as he would be gaining for the tour also.

 

[Jamsque]

Does what we are seeing today mean that Johan's super special secret sauce is better than Giuseppe Martinelli's? Stay tuned in July to find out!

love it! that's what this climb it about!!

 

[tgsgirl]

To those watching - is VDB still there? And if yes, how does he look?

 

[pedaling squares]

Thank God for Szymd, what a fighter.

 

[The Sheep]

what a game between Smyd and Alberto

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Did anyone think say that Contador won't win the TdF, based on his performance today? He looks really good if you ask me, and he's still four weeks away from hitting peak form.

i was getting in a lance fan's head.

 

[Bala Verde]

To those watching - is VDB still there? And if yes, how does he look?

he was behind the 3 (cont; szmyd; braj) and he was struggling a little it seemed. But still in 5-6-7 position.

Seems actually they are closing the gap... 10-15s?

make that 3-4s

and returning.

Would Jani be there to peak? i doubt it as he would be gaining for the tour also.

JB isn't assured a spot (he's been passed over several times). Gallopin said he was targeting this race.

 

[pedaling squares]

Major LOL at "How do they chat?"

 

[BYOP88]

I'd love to be able to climb mountains like these guys. I think Szmyd will take the stage and Contador may crack.

 

[mherm79]

VDV attacks - great stuff!

 

[auscyclefan94]

Alberto is struggling.

 

[tgsgirl]

Thanks Bala Verde!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Jani reacts on Contadors attack like it's a sunday afternoon training ride

 

[Publicus]

I get the feeling that AC loves racing. JB is riding impressively though. Very impressively.


EDIT: Is this not great training for the potential varying attacks that AC will supposedly face? Frankly I think he has no reason to cover all of these attacks.

And most impressed by JB's composure and mental toughness. Kid has the goods. I hope Bruyneel is watching and will give him a shot at being team leader at a GT.

 

[zapata]

well, this is not boring.
