Dylan Groenewegen abandonds Dauphiné in order to prepare for Tour de France
CyclingSaturday, 11 June 2022 at 11:39
After the opportunities for the sprint stages have past, Team BikeExchange - Jayco have announced the departure of Dylan Groenewegen from the Critérium du Dauphiné so as to further prepare for the Tour de France.
The Dutch sprinter has struggled through the opening days of the race as the high pace in the days' small hills proved too complicated. Groenewegen counted with the support of his team but didn't manage to be in contention for any stage win. Yesterday in Gap he finished in eighth place, second from the peloton after having resisted the pace in the peloton throughout the day.
Some days ago Groenewegen said in an interview that his preparation was going down the right path: "It sounds a bit crazy now because I'm still empty-handed. But the shape is better than ever... For a pure sprinter it is very difficult to survive the finals here. We know what we are doing and we also know that the Tour is the main goal of the year." It is a possibility that he will be joining the team in the upcoming Tour of Slovenia before heading to Denmark for the Grand Depart.

But it's no poisonous since you breathe it everyday. You get too much water in your lungs and you ALSO die of asphyxiation. But tell me, other than bonding with hemoglobin what is deadly about carbon monoxide?Sweep13-11-2024
- No, it's not poisonous. You breath it in every single day of your life. If you live in a dense city you breath in 10X what a rural person breathes. It kills you by asphyxiation. You breathe in water and it also kills you by asphyxiation. Poisoning is a misnomer. You drink too much water and that kills you also. Is water poisonous?Sweep13-11-2024
- Different eras, different equipment, wildly different training with nearly robot-like nutrition requirements, and so on. The thing you can compare is the relative success of riders against their rivals. Maybe it’s fine to just say they stand above the rest of their generation, and be happy with that.RidesHills13-11-2024

- Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is poisonous and flammable. It is produced when carbon-containing fuels like gasoline, natural gas, or wood are not completely burned. CO is a common hazard in the home and the leading cause of poisoning deaths in the United States.awp13-11-2024
- Eddy also rode a 23 lb bike whereas Tadej has a 15 lb one. Also new insights into training and selecting races rather than racing 11.5 months a year like Eddy used to do.MrCampy13-11-2024
