Criterium Du Dauphine SPOILERS.

Not sure about this. Break would need some serious climbers - with no threat to GC, eg Bardet or Latour - to get over the Madeleine with a serious lead over the peloton to then beat them to the top of the last climb.

I'd like to say I backed him I didnt....

HaHa - you fell into my trap!. Because the player thingy doesn't work on MY phone! (I tried watching the Superbikes this morning - same symptoms.)

Can't you watch via a web browser (ITV Hub)**?

Yeah, that was accessing the "ITV Hub" on a browser (Chrome?) on Android. You can view the programme pages, but the video doesn't play.

Strange - it works well on my phone... Chrome ver 84.0.4147.125 and Android ver 6.0 (Marshmallow).

Some ride by Formolo to take that stage today

Chapeau to the ever young Davide. And to you , of course.
Always liked him, yet never seemed to quite reach the top level. Excellent Strade Bianche a few weeks back, then followed by blowing up on Mont Ventoux. So did not expect him to do this. A decent each way for the Giro?

He actually made it look as hard as it was ! Going up that last climb in the big gear with the peleton breathing down your neck..every credit.😁

Lol....Jumbo have thought right let's win as many early season races as we can ! We will be done for by the third week of the Tour 😁

Roglic looking evermore the terminator ! He made that last sprint to the line look far to easy.

He looks indestructible at the moment as does his team. I think that’s good considering it’s always been sky/ineos. I don’t think the tour if it happens will necessarily be as clear cut though. While we're seeing JV absolutely pinging form wise but everyone is coming out of a strange period of training and people will have done different blocks/altitude etc = finding form at different times. That said Roglic is overwhelming favourite at the moment.

I think their plan of beating the other teams seems to be working. As you say, they'll be sluw in week 3.
