Critérium du Dauphiné 2024

[Irvin85]

His TT is not his best but he has improved a lot, he did finish 14th on last years ITT in the TdF and 6th in the Giro on stage 20. So I would not say he can't TT for sh*t. He will drop time on Remco and Roglic in the TT but he is more than capable in the High mountains and in all honesty better than both of them if you look at pure climbing. He will not win the TdF but podium is a real possibility. 

That being said, he himself have stated in the past that he does not enjoy being a leader of a team and prefer to work as a domestique. He might have changed his mind since the Vuelta win.

3.40 down. that is a ton of time to ship in an ITT in the Tdf if you are attempting to podium. But Roglic will crash out and Remco will get Covid so there is a chance i guess

Not on the team list for the TdF and never was regardless of form. Probably sit this out and focus on his pre-injury goals.

Team lists not cast in stone yet.

Following his crash he might have reconsidered trying to prep for Le Tour seeing as Giro was off the cards. He needs some kilometers on the legs before Olympics...

If he goes to TDF, I think expectations will be much lower than it would have been had he had a perfect run-in.

He likes it, makes him think of that Ski-jump crash he had.

Remco 1st, Roglic 3nd +39secomds... Spicy

I think this is Primoz’s biggest problem he has to overcome… remaining upright for 21 days.

that crash was ***... saw the one guy slide on his bum like he was on snow.

 

That's a dozen km away from my mom's house. Hope the weather will be better next week when I'm there 🤣

Race neutralised 

Remco's facial expression looks good to me.

Roglic looks fine as well.

DSM rider hit his head quite badly 

Kruijswijk & Van Baarle look to be the worst off and then Ayuso

Hectic!

Froome featuring in the last 20kms today...

His propensity for falling is  beginning to become ridiculous.
