An American, Talansky, wins the Dauphine on the last day!

That was an awesome stage on so many levels, wow, I love it.
The Anti Sky.

Boy, what a great stage! I thought AC was going to pull it off.

Happy to see Talansky get it!

I generally do not pay any attention to the Dauphine but since I was DVRing the stages I decided to watch the last 3. What great racing. The 8th stage was the best. I can not remember a stage race where the 3rd place GC rider was given 2.5 minutes in a breakaway. Contador and Froome just looked at each other and finally Contador took off like a streak but it was too late to bring back all the time needed. Contador looked so strong, gets me wondering.

" Contador looked so strong, gets me wondering."

Wondering what? If the Froome juice ran out at Sky first?


I'd apologize for that, but I am sure I could not do it with any sincerity.

Either Froome ran out of "juice" or Contador had a fresh fill in his tank.

There is also the possibility that Froome was affected by his crash more then he let on.
Whatever the case it made for great racing.

"affected by his crash"

And there is that too. ;)
