[SPOILERS] Critérium du Dauphiné

[beastie]

I think that it will end up being a clash of styles between Wiggling and Nibali










Simple things....................

I see Cobo is down to lead the Movistar team. Not heard his name mentioned much this season. Presumably he's aiming for the Vuelta again? (And presumably Movistar will be backing him for the Vuelta rather than Valverde?)

I think rain is forecast at sometime this afternoon, which might bugger the results, not that that will mean much in the grand scheme of things as it's only the prologue.

EDIT
just realised, Millar's back at last.

 

[smutchin]

Anyone else watching Wiggo think their telly was in the wrong aspect ratio? Sooooo skinny!

Nice ride from Durbridge. Probably the best result for Brad - high up in the times without the worry of wearing yellow.

Eurosport player don't seem to be showing it live at all....ggrrrrr!

 

[Dayvo]

A nice 1-2 for me in the Road.cc fantasy league!

 

[Keith Oates]

Wiggins is only one second off the lead and with the wind having a greater negative affect on the later starters, I think he'll be very well pleased with that performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

France3.fr (via steephill) is working well. When combined with cyclingnews commentary, it's easy to follow the race (depending on who is updating the ticker).

Westra can't be ignored when considering podium placings

 

[raindog]

And Chavanel's in decent shape too, apparently.

This stage has got Gilbert written all over it.

Nice win for Evans - reminds me of what Wiggins did on the first stage of Romandie - showing he's in top condition and can win in a way you wouldn't expect.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

That must put Wiggins in yellow too, I would imagine.

Good result for Coppel - some of the French papers were talking him up as the dark horse contender for this and Le Tour. We shall see.
