CyclingFriday, 09 June 2023 at 16:46
Georg Zimmermann has taken his first World Tour win today at the Criterium du Dauphiné, a hard-earned triumph which came as the fruit of a powerful attack and painful sprint at the end of stage 6.
Part of the day's initial breakaway, he made the three-rider selection which entered the final climb in the fight for the win. He attacked with 1.9 kilometers to go but was caught by Mathieu Burgaudeau with only 500 meters to the line, but then found himself with the best legs in the grueling sprint which decided the outcome of the day.

- If Storer is going to be so difficult to catch then let’s focus on the rest of the podium. How about the 18y old for defending 2nd? He already proved himself enduring and consistant in the UAE tour.Mistermaumau22-04-2025
- Huh? Coming third in that configuration would have been easy, DON’T race.Mistermaumau22-04-2025

- Good for you, I’m pretty sure you’re right about Jonas, he was probably brought up to consider family more important than anything work related, as most sane people. It’s so obvious in cycling though, your career is 10-15y, your partner and kids are for life, not hard to decide which is worth fighting for keeping more. You don’t see many happy ageing singles, it may seem cool when you’re younger but what are you left with later except nostalgia? Marriage is definitely not something to hurry into these days, it takes a looooong time to discover a whole person with all of today’s possibilities and activities.Mistermaumau22-04-2025
- Would be interesting to see the profile of voters.Jumpyjohn22-04-2025
- yup, that’s sad. marriage is a tough proposition under the best circumstances. i get the FEELING that one of the reasons why jonas doesn’t race as much as people would like is that he fights to put family first? again, im not in a position to say, but we learn from the mistakes of our colleagues if we’re lucky. in the professional culture i come from, naval aviation, marriages tragically drop like flies and there’s sometimes nothing w we can do about it. but i TIRED to make the little differences where i could and ended up one of the lucky ones.OCexile22-04-2025
