Donno if I am happier that Eddie B won or that Bouhani didn't. .

 

Great result for DD and how's that sprint from Alaphilippe

EBH and Alaphilippe is a lekker 1 2. Only Bouhanni had to go spoil the podium freaking French sod! Would've loved to see Van Avermeat on it!

 

DD's had a very good Dauphine so far. They've really animated the race and given good airtime for their sponsors. Ryder would be rather happy at the moment I'd wager!

Spare a thought for Maxime Bouet. He had a massive ride and was clearly trying to win on his home roads! Got damned close too. Only four kays left when he got caught. Really did give it everything. My rider of the day!

Yay EBH!

 

Alaphilippe is a phenomenon - so versatile. Dicing for a mountain TT victory with the best climbers, then sprinting with the best fastmen. Already a couple of podiums in big spring Classics. Winning GC in World Tour stage races. Multiple national champion in cyclocross. And in his spare time he's a world class trials rider (wouldn't be surprised seeing him trying take Danny MacAskill on in one of his vids :D). And the kid is still just 23 years old....  :eek: .

 

Video of Alaphilippe goofing off with his teammates

I wonder what happened in the main peloton at the end there - how a split formed and AC, Porte & others lost a bit of time. Strange one. Tinkoff and BMC not looking after their guys properly.

Perhaps there was a split with that crash. . Yoh it was nasty

 

 

Odd because it was at 2.5km to go.. so if that is where the split happened they should all have gotten the same time..
