Critérium du Dauphiné 2020

[Mountain Bru]

Is the Lotto Jumbo team a trial?!

 

Roglic, TommyD and Kruisjwijk all in one go..... Leaders pulling super D duty all over the place

Guessing you didn't watch the Tour de l'Ain? I don't think I'll ever get used to watching TommyD and Froome getting dropped after doing domestique duties.

Knox in bold and Yates overlooked?   

 

 

Not a Yates fanboy 

 

PS. Watch now how he goes on and has a blinder....

Interesting bit of news posted on the Racing Center which I missed completely:

 

"Schär, a super-domestique at the front

 

Riding in the breakaway, the Swiss veteran Michael Schär (CCC Team) has already tasted success on the Dauphiné, participating in BMC Racing’s victory in the team time-trial of the 2015 edition, between Roanne and Montagny (24.5km). His teammate Rohan Dennis took the leader’s jersey on that day and his leader Tejay Van Garderen finished 2nd overall at the end of the week.

Michael Schär has claimed two individual successes during his career: the Swiss National championshisp in 2013 and a stage at the 2014 Tour of Utah.

He is mostly hailed for his domestique abilities and his work with Greg Van Avermaet in the classics. The Belgian leader announced on Monday he would join AG2R-La Mondiale for the next season. And Schär is coming with him."

 

 

(Very unrelated..) I wonder if related to Manuela Schar? Also Swiss and also a proper boss on wheels, but hers are on a wheelchair... Shes won almost every major marathon for the last 3 years.

Final 200m is a bit tricky

Interesting Overall result from the NTT Predictor algorithm.

I feel like we've known about Froome and ISN for a hundred years, it must be pretty awkward him just lurking around Ineos.

The internet doesn't know, and often spells her surname differently.

Still love the fact that Greipel is in this race. Chapeau Gorilla. Looking at the profiles for each stage I'm guessing him and Kristoff aren't going to battle it out for the points jersey.

LOL agreed, their tactics are about as suspect as Mr peak 365s performance.

 

The course of today might just suit Mr Peak 365.

That finish is nasty. It looks like they hit quicksand once round the last corner.

[Rowl]

Pity Impey, but a good finish.

[Frosty]

WvA: Man on fire, at the moment.

Good effort by DI.

100% this.

[Vetplant]

This course doesn't suit WvA, but watch how he finds a way to surprise us all, unless of course if he is on strict team duties for Roglic.

Impey wearing Green tomorrow (keeping it warm for WVA)

What happened to Maincheese? Is he sick? Did he crash? He is already two weeks behind.
