Teams bring eight riders to the Criterium du Dauphine, each with a particular job to do, each with a 'particular set of skills.' For Tinkoff, Sergio Paulinho, his job was to set the fastest possible pace on the front of the peloton for as long as possible. Once he had done all that he could do, he swung off the peloton and dropped back through the group. As his teammate, Michael Valgren Andersen, road pass him he reached out and patted his exhausted friends shoulder, telling him that he had, "Done good." Riding to the right of the pair from Tinkoff is the former winner of the Giro d'Italia, Ryder Hesjedal (Trek-Segafredo), the man with the best name in professional cycling (well first name anyway).
