Critérium du Dauphiné 2020

[Gen]

Criterium de crash[emoji2962]

Casual Richard Mille on JAs wrist...

Sivakov very fortunate to be back in the saddle. That crash would've smashed the break's chances now.

Three climbs to go, leg speed high, pace just about at threshold-ish. Don't blink.

 

Go, Dani!!!

Doesn't look like he will be able to take the race. He is struggling alot. Bleeding at the back of the main chase group.

But wait ... it's not over yet...

 

He found some French allies there[emoji4]

It'll be great if Kuss can take this stage, he's been rock solid for Primoz this race

It has absolutely been the most outrageous couple of days of cycling. Wow

['Dale]

The win of Dani Martinez's career. He had to use all of his race craft on this final day to take glory with all the permutations. EF Pro Cycling will celebrate as this is a great result for them.

 

Sepp Kuss, what a stylish looking super domestique. Hope for the beleaguered American cycling fraternity. Chapeau! Pinot played the patient game and it just didn't pan out on the road.

 

Beautiful racing.

2020. The year when the twenty somethings took over from the thirty somethings and from what we're seeing, the future is bright. Salute to the old boys club, thanks for the memories.

The fearlessness of youth, hey!

 

There's such a good group of young guys coming through the ranks it is definitely going to make racing very interesting over the next decade or so.

 

That said don't discount a number of the thirty somethings on the basis of this Dauphine. A lot of them are still pure class and more than capable of competing for the win!

Maybe if they had a smidgen of self preservation, Remco and Rogla's seasons would still be looking bright. Muppets.

Will Gee & Chris even make Le Tour selection?

Its what I thought when I saw Sivakov go down. Pushing the limit too far. But hats off to him for getting back on and getting back into the race.

Would they be as entertaining though?

 

Agree that they do need to use common sense about when to take risks and when not. Didn't see either accidents so not willing to cast blame onto them as such because of other potential factors towards their respective crashes. Hopefully recent events will inform their racing acumen without negatively affecting their confidence in themselves and their abilities.
