2011 Tour de Suisse, Stage 6: Tobel-Tägerschen - Triesenberg/Malbun, 157.7 km

After 2 days of sprints, the Tour de Suisse heads back into the mountains.
The peleton will face a relatively easy ride up to the final climb.

At 14.4 km at 8.4%, this will be a tough final haul up to the finish in Liechtenstein.

Will Cunego maintain his lead after an impressive performance in Stage 3?
Can Soler get another win in an already fantastic tour?
Will TGBM win by 8 minutes?

We shall see.

Top 15 GC:

1 Damiano Cunego (Ita) Lampre - ISD 17:14:11
2 Juan Mauricio Soler (Col) Movistar Team 0:00:54
3 Bauke Mollema (Ned) Rabobank Cycling Team 0:01:16

Fat Schleck FTW

followed by Soler and Il Principe. Those three in some order anyhow.

And I hope Cunego wins.

With 3 men in the top nine, Rabo should come up with some sort of cunning plan, shouldn't they?
The Schlecks will have a plan, but it won't be cunning.
Leipheimer will have his usual plan.

Cunego and Soler will probably rip up the plans.

This stage doesn't really allow for any special plans, it's a sprint to the foot of the climb and then every man is left to fend for himself.

Yeah + cunning plans haven't always been Rabobank's strongest point in the past :).

I'm hoping Van Garderen can climb well tomorrow, it's amazing how good he is considering his age. Hopefully he can work on improving his climbing accelerations in the coming years.
