Critérium du Dauphiné 2025 Spoilers

To think people thought he was struggling after coming fourth in the TT 🤣
Never lifted his arse of the saddle up that climb...loved that stage

Exactly the same terrain that Jonas destroyed Pog on in 2023 is Pog terrain? Not sure I can agree with that one

That was a TT - and in the third week of a GT, different ballgame entirely

Bardet on the moto in the Tour....that was the big reveal 😲

Plus the main destruction was the day later on Stage 17 with the HC finish. Today wasn't even classed as a mountain stage on the race website.

I'm not sure that's a UCI legal race bike

"The Auvergnat barely has time to catch his breath before he's about to take part in the next Tour de France (July 5-27). Not as a rider, but as a motorcycle consultant for Eurosport, the event's broadcaster with France Télévisions."

Well he took 1.38 on the TT, which is a pretty decent chunk for just over half an hour's cycling. I think that probably fed in to the mental side of Pog's collapse - where he was properly broken - then next day

They'll turn a blind eye for Romain.

I don't know which is crazier, that he blows people away while sat down or gives interviews at the end like he's ridden to the shops.

Must be soul destroying for those behind him, and then those collapsing at the end.

 

[roadrash]

pog looked like he had just nipped out to get the paper.

I wonder if pog really looks like this T101...

 

[Dogtrousers]

Pretty impressive ride from 18 year old Paul Seixas.

Next French winner of the TdF. No pressure, Paul.

 

[tarric]

Normal service resumed at the Dauphine and I suppose we now have the answer to this.
"If he can follow Pocacar and Vingegaard here we will go for more than third at the tour."

The ease and quickness Jonas was dropped... that is worrying
